Green-brown is the hazelnut
Vétiver Tonka from the Hermessence series doesn't make it easy. It's not a fragrance that flatters your nose and causes storms of applause. At the beginning it seems to be much too bulky and unnatural after spraying on, as if drunken hobby chemists had mixed something together out of test tubes standing around by chance.
Only gradually does an olfactory impression emerge that could be described as hazelnut or walnut-like. A little harsh, but definitely recognizable as a nut.
Tonka flows in from the side as a soft, cushioning element. The slightly creaky vetiver is also a careful eye catcher, which becomes more and more dominant in the course of time.
However, you already have mixed feelings here. On the one hand because you're unsure whether everything really fits together, on the other hand because it doesn't look so bad at all. The Vetiver and hazelnut combination has a bit of liver sausage on Christmas stollen or chocolate on salmon. Can be done, but causes irritation ...
Personally, I thought I'd prefer either more hazelnut or more vetiver, with the latter becoming more and more popular as time went on and the scent becoming more relative again. Tonka is rather such a mediator between the worlds, because somehow it fits everywhere.
As soon as the sweet grass has the upper hand with the soft tonka flanking, everything seems to be fine again. But all this time I was wondering how I should evaluate this experiment. He will never become a candidate to buy for me, but when I wear him, I also get a signal of a casual and unconventional attitude. The high ratings don't come by chance and so I can more or less give the green light ... but ordering blind would be even less advisable here than anyway.
