Alien Vétiver
In Aphorismes d'un parfumeur, Dominique Ropion says that he used a fractionated vetiver oil - from which the camphor had been removed by some arcane
jiggery-pokery. It's a smoother, atypical vetiver where the habitual costume has been abandoned [for something] a bit cold, metallic'.
Instead of the usual earthy, grassy and liquorice themes, it starts off pebble-like and exotic fruity, and then develops a whole litany of accents: red leather, sweet powder, pink pepper; mushroom, sous bois, sour milk; green, demerara, woody, mossy and musk.
It does become a bit more conventional in the drydown, but with its alien ambience of Feu d'Issey and the thrawn tangents of Roudnitska, this is still, quite an extraordinary work. As Spock might rightly have said, it's vetiver Jim, but not as we know it'.
