In the end, we'll just become friends after all
Normally Vetiver and I are not friends. Maybe loose acquaintances, if vetiver is mixed in with a fragrance. That's more of a coincidence and underlines my reluctance because of vetiver acquaintances, which it wouldn't have been necessary for a first acquaintance. So be it. In the course of an exchange I was offered Tomo vetiver, among others. The comments and the ingredient leather convinced me and I was excited.
While waiting I informed myself and noticed quite fast that the brand and also the original Tomo share little congruence with my perfume concept. That would be something. Then the package arrived, a first sprayer and I was pleasantly surprised. Not a fruity leather grenade, but rather a leather according to Japanese culture. That makes it wearable even in hotter seasons. The grapefruit sounds soft, rather delicate, as if it would only give the heart notes an escort. This circumstance speaks for the fragrance, because another fruit bomb with intense leather in the finish? Not very innovative and how many fruits are still free ?
Here the top note merges directly into the heart note, the leather is soft and interacts well with the rhubarb, which you can smell subliminally. For the price, it is clearly perceived synthetic leather. The fact that Tomo Vetiver doesn't want to be different speaks for the fragrance and helps. Nothing is worse than an ingredient that is obviously synthetic, but you want to put it in a natural garment more than anything else.
The fragrance is relatively straight, at some point the top note disappears and you notice: oh, the vetiver! Completely repressed! But it was always there, discreet and reserved, just like Japanese culture. Grassy it is, earthy it is...in a surreal way. Leather-rhubarb dresses up the vetiver in a familiar-looking stranger. This stranger is welcome to become a friend. Finally, vetiver and I become friends after all, for which I had to travel 9,144 kilometres
