In the end, we will indeed become friends
Normally, Vetiver and I are not friends. Perhaps loose acquaintances when Vetiver is involved in a fragrance. That is more of a coincidence and underscores my reluctance regarding Vetiver acquaintances that wouldn't have been necessary for a first meeting. Be that as it may. As part of a swap, I was offered Tomo Vetiver among other things. The comments and the ingredient leather convinced me, and I was curious.
During the waiting period, I did some research and quickly realized that the brand and the original Tomo share little overlap with my perfume preferences. This would be interesting. Then the package arrived, a first spray, and I was pleasantly surprised. Not a fruity leather bomb, but rather a leather in line with Japanese culture. This makes it wearable even in hotter seasons. The grapefruit softly chimes in, more delicate, as if it is merely providing escort to the heart notes. This aspect speaks for the fragrance, because another fruit bomb with intense leather following it? Not very innovative, and how many fruits are still available?
Here, the top note transitions directly into the heart note, the leather is gentle and interacts well with the rhubarb, which can be subtly smelled. For the price, it is clearly perceptible synthetic leather. The fact that Tomo Vetiver does not want to be anything else speaks for the fragrance and helps. Nothing is worse than an ingredient that is obviously synthetic, yet one tries to fit it into a natural guise as poorly as possible.
The fragrance is relatively straightforward; at some point, the top note disappears, and one notices: oh, the Vetiver! Completely overshadowed! It has always been there but subtly and reservedly, very much in line with Japanese culture. It is grassy, it is earthy...in a surreal way. Leather-rhubarb disguises the Vetiver as a familiar stranger. This stranger is welcome to become a friend. Ultimately, Vetiver and I will indeed become friends for which I had to symbolically travel 9,144 kilometers.
