The smoothest vetiver fragrance
It opens with a burst of fresh, slightly bitter citrus, then settles into floral and woody notes with smooth (almost creamy) vetiver. To me, it's the best gentlemen's vetiver fragrance build on a warm amber and musk base. Very sophisticated although suitable for everyday and year around causal wear. Long lasting with a medium sillage. Truly a gem.

Fresh Vetiver
Right from the start, Lavish indulges with a very realistic lemon that brings a certain bitterness. Added to this is a subtly sweet orange peel note. With this fresh kick, Lavish enchants for almost two hours. That is really very, very long for such a simple yet beautiful citrus accord. I have known since Oxford that Boadicea can create true masterpieces with citrus. Here we find a fragrance that brings back exactly this fascination.

Next comes a somewhat dry but bright wood. It has almost a slightly smoky note and fits perfectly with the very fresh appearance so far. Underneath, the vetiver announces itself, which now adds further freshness but also a touch of green to the entire fragrance. At this moment, Lavish becomes a classic for men for me.

And I mean that with the utmost respect.

It simply fits at temperatures from ten to 40 degrees. It refreshes without being flat. At no point does it come across as forced or synthetic. It has staying power without needing to evacuate the room and even radiates a certain calmness.

For me, this fragrance perfectly ranks in the triangle between Midnight, Oxford, and Vetiver Imperiale, bringing the best of all the mentioned scents.

Vetiver @ its Best.
And you really can't argue with that, because nobody knows it. (4 people)
You have to believe it, and those who know Boadi from other varieties really know what's up, and everything becomes easier when reading, from a belief perspective.

They have vetiver here and they have used it, it comes through really well, in terms of scents and smells.
You can't say anything against it. It's just vetiver, full throttle, and longevity is right up there.
You really get a good dose of vetiver, but in a good way. You can read the pyramid, but in terms of scent, it's vetiver.
You have to like vetiver, but you do if you're interested in vetiver.

In any case, this other one in perfumes is well balanced with vetiver. It makes you crave more vetiver, I swear.
Others who want to sell you different vetiver perfumes are just looking to sell! They haven't understood anything, just profit on their minds. This is the vetiver here, nothing else. Period. That's it. You can say it like that. I swear!

Who-Tie-WA!

Realistic lemon in the opening, smooth with good projection. The scent stays fresh but now with orange, vetiver, nutmeg and some woods.

THE best smoothest reference Vetiver on the market. Green, fresh, woody, spicy and floral. An exquisite Chypre masterpiece!

This is beautiful! Obvious take on Grey Vetiver Eau de Parfum but dries down to Royal Oud. Outstanding!

Spicy-citrusy open, thinking lemon & nutmeg. Standard citrus-vetiver dry-down w/ some white floral aspects too. Underwhelming performance.

A dupe from Grey Vetiver from the dupe house Boadicea the Copypasteous. Yeah, nice bottle I guess.

Like after a summer rain
When nature comes to life
You perceive every gentle nuance
Of herbs and flowers
More distinctly
Delicately spiced

Pleasant vetiver scent with lemon, I'm with Ergo: classic through moss. I find the fragrance unsweet, not candy-like. Very beautiful composition.
