Woody - earthy - green

A crisp, decent, neat and weightless woody fragrance with precise amount of earthiness to woo without being vulgar. This is by far one of the best tributes to vetiver. Green peppery citrus opening solves in a slightly pharmaceutical vetiver that gives you goosebump if you're fond of this... Read more

The "Real" Vetiver...

Vetiver for the Sake of Vetiver

Frédéric Malle VETIVER EXTRAORDINAIRE is a vetiver lover's vetiver cologne. It smells spare and streamlined to the point where I am reminded of recent wearings of aromachemical niche perfumes such as MOLECULE 01. I really smell vetiver and just about only vetiver, which is a result no doubt of... Read more
