Herb garden by the sea
What an aquatic vetiver fragrance can do, this perfume shows extremely well. It cools and refreshes on hot summer days, it creates a longing for the sea and it leaves the skin dry and cleansed. However, Sel de Vétiver also shows what one would not expect. The fragrance develops quite predictably and remains kantig-sterile.
The vetiver base actually emerges very aromatically. Cardamom and lovage give a tart, metallic opening that blends into the warm vetiver. This provides a characteristic spiciness, which reminds a little of 4711. The successful earthy base underpins a citrusy top note of bitter grapefruit, which brings in an ethereal freshness.
Thereupon, the sea is abruptly perceived: A dry salt layer sharpens the cool freshness and takes the fragrance completely. At the same time, a cleansing chlorine note appears through the geranium, but I find it more pleasant than still in Sel d'Argent. This may have to do with the fact that the scent still remains natural. Later, I smell only citrusy-clean lovage.
