Sweet - (dry-herb) Grass
Every now and then, I find it a fun and interesting consideration to think about who might ever discover a particular fragrance as their signature scent. Especially with rather special scents like Vétyver Haïti. In this case, I imagine a student of horticulture and landscape design who is passionate about their field, or a small gardener who loves their little green oasis, seeking olfactory support while daydreaming at the office.
The scent is special, but not unpleasant. Due to its puristic nature, it is never overwhelming or even the slightest bit headache-inducing. I definitely find it unisex, completely ageless, and suitable for spring, summer, and early autumn. Speaking of which, in summer, one can hardly get enough of this top note: it is very fresh and zesty, wonderfully lemony, without any association with cleaning products. Unfortunately, I find it super short-lived, fading quickly. It immediately transitions into a green-earthy scent. I think of freshly mowed grass. But when the cut grass has been drying in the sun for a while. And the aforementioned small gardener has slightly turned over a small patch of soil. It doesn’t smell bad at all, but rather somehow natural. Down-to-earth. Haha... a pun on "ground..." In my opinion, the scent doesn’t have a particularly exciting progression.
The fragrance also has a dry aspect that reminds me of dunes. When you want to get to the beach and have to walk through vegetation.
I think you can smell that vetiver is a fragrance note that is actually derived from a plant or root. Vétyver Haïti has something very natural for me. I find the term sweet grass absolutely justified, as I distinctly perceive a very special sweetness alongside all the clearly present bitterness and earthiness.
The cedarwood, which wonderfully rounds off the base with warmth, feels familiar. Although I probably last consciously smelled cedarwood in elementary school when we built weaving frames out of that very wood. I found the scent so good that I somehow haven’t forgotten it to this day.
Speaking of the base. I still wonder if it might be a good idea to layer Vétyver Haïti with "Decadence" (Marc Jacobs) to make it less sweet and overwhelming. After all, it has vetiver in the base note.
Vétyver Haïti is not necessarily a candidate for purchase or a big compliment magnet, but I will use up my sample (many thanks for that to "Supi"!). Logically, the scent is worth trying for anyone who wants to know what vetiver smells like. The sweet grass is beautifully framed here as the main actor, resulting in a quite wearable fragrance. For now and then.
