Sola dose facit venenum
There are plenty of vetiver scents, and the spectrum ranges from the classic spicy-fresh representatives such as Carven and Guerlain to warm balsamic interpretations such as vetiver ambrato. Here I allow myself a reference to the collection folder 'Oriental Vetiver' of the user Yatagan.
I would classify Vetiver Royal Bourbon from Oriza Legrand between these extremes. The classic citrus head and characteristic freshness of the former group is missing, the fragrance has body and weight, but it is too hard and lacks the sweetness to be classified in the latter group.
The vetiver note is crunchy like Etro and Heeley, which is why I recommend the use of Vetyverylacetat.
However, like all the accompanying notes, it seems to be used rather reservedly here.
The lively herbal freshness of mint and thyme is combined with the rugged vetiver, sweet Styrax and vanilla tobacco All in all, it has a slightly medical effect, which I sometimes like very much.
But I didn't choose the headline just because of that - Vetiver Royal Bourbon is characterised above all by the moderate use of the individual fragrances. So here are some notes that I find very difficult in high dosage. Thyme quickly becomes too smoky, mint too toothy, vetiver too crunchy, tobacco too sweet, iris too powdery, Immortelle too spicy, leather...
Here, however, perfumer Hugo Lambert seems to have hit the golden section, the proportions are right, and the individual notes combine to create an extremely pleasant, like anything but boring, vetiver scent. Thus they offer each other room to unfold and interact to create an extremely exciting scent, which fascinates me deeply.
The wishlist is just missed, which is not so much because of the fragrance itself, but rather because of my collection, which already has a midway-vetivator with Odin's Nr 08.
Nevertheless, I would like to make an explicit test recommendation not only for vetiver lovers.
