The Summer Vetiver
Originally I tested the Agua Fresca Extreme, as it was recommended by some esteemed perfumers. Unfortunately he did not agree with me, his notes were too penetrating for me. That's also because sometimes this forced aquatic freshness doesn't get any applause from me. So I took the perfume off. Until I was recommended the flanker Agua Fresca Vetiver.
I had two thoughts: green plus aquatic freshness? I could like that, GIT suits me. Of course not comparable but green-fresh. The second thought came to me while studying the ingredients: rhubarb, leather and vetiver? I know that one! And I like it! Tomo Vetiver uses these ingredients to create a formidable fragrance. So should this fragrance be perceived in a similar way, but fresh? Yes. Partly, if you only look at the beginning.
At the beginning this synthetic, fresh note starts, is quickly absorbed by the grassy vetiver, which is only fully appreciated later, it takes two hours. What smells so tart and slightly acidic here is the rhubarb. Anyone who has ever cooked jam with rhubarb will recognize the smell. To be honest, I never have, but I was there a lot, so I can judge that. ;)
This note stands out again under the orange blossom etc, it smells fresh green. Gradually it becomes more earthy, slightly bitter. The vetiver reveals itself more and more in its austere beauty, is enmeshed by cedar and leather, which one can hardly consciously smell. Nevertheless, one can sense their effect, because vetiver appears sublime here and there, the cedar helps it to do so.
Enough words about a summer scent that unfortunately has a bad sillage and does not last very long. But for the price and for the fact that it is a summer scent, one can criticize this but for the purchase evaluation these are hardly more than marginal notes. The importance is too marginal. In this respect, I am purely concerned with the fragrance and I have to admit that this is a great refreshment for little money
