Perfect clean fragrance for everyday wear
Have you ever felt like you need an "easy reach" everyday fragrance? Something for those days when you just want to throw on a t-shirt and jeans and head out the door? Here's your perfect everyday perfume!

When I first sampled Vetiver in Chestnut, I was smelling it among many other, much stronger fragrances. After getting all those smells into my nose, this one was so light on the paper strip, I wasn't sure if I could really even detect a smell at all. Still, I felt the need to to buy a sample so I could get some one-on-one time with this fragrance. I'm glad I did!

The first spray is a fresh, woody, almost soapy smell. Very clean and very light. From the beginning, there is faint projection and I have to directly smell very close to my skin to even pick up on it.

As it dries, it continues to be a soft, fresh aroma, but you can detect the subtlety of other resinous notes. The licorice gives it an almost caramel sweetness (without veering into gourmand territory). I tested this on my husband who is very sensitive to fragrances and he said it was his favorite of all my samples. So I think this fragrance would be very wearable in an office setting, where people around you may be more sensitive and offended by strong smells.

If your goal is to project a cloud of fragrance around and get lots of compliments, this one will not give you that. For that reason, I also wouldn't recommend this one as a "night out" or winter fragrance. This is for mature folks (of any gender) who just want to smell lovely, clean, and approachable.

Very clean, almost "soapy," woodsy smell. Low projection "skin fragrance." Perfect for the office, gym or just casual everyday wear.
