Creative, balanced vetiver - a little fresh, a little dark, with some pep
D.S. & Durga St. Vetyver is a robust vetiver-laden mix, somewhere between fresh and ashy/earthy, with touches of classic fougere in the background, perhaps as a function of some of the other notes—for example, orange, pink pepper, sea grass, and clove. There’s complexity but a relative ease of wearing, and I suspect that vetiver fans in particular will find this to be quite the treat.
It’s a very strong fragrance, and probably comes off being a little darker due to its strength. I like it overall at the intersection of classic, provocative, robust, and creative. It’s roughly about as dark of a vetiver fragrance as I like to wear, though something like Lalique Encre Noire a la Extreme is a singular exception when some of the ashy vetiver dominance if ceded in favor of resins. It’s a study fragrance with a good amount of range from fresh to dark, a year-round option that I might not wear in the heat of a summer day but otherwise feels like a sophisticated, interesting option.
The retail pricing for St. Vetyver is $260/175 for 100/50ml, very much in line with most of the house’s offerings, though the 100ml size is currently on sale at FragranceNet for $171. It is sold via the house website as well as boutiques like Tigerlily Perfumery, from whom I obtained my sample.
