Vétiver Dior 2010

... and it is closed by coffee. Coffee? What?! Yes, I wouldn't have thought so either, never. But let's start from the very beginning. Since I was able to pick up my girlfriend from Düsseldorf Airport today, I took a few hours beforehand to do some perfume testing on the Kö - once again. This time, I paid special attention to the private lines from Chanel, Dior, and Guerlain. Dior is by far the most expensive line, and until now, I only knew the masterful Gris Montaigne. This vetiver is just from our Top 100. Vetiver has slowly become one of my favorite fragrance directions, especially for warm days. So it wasn't long before the first wrist was stained with this green liquid.

Dry, emaciated, ultra-elegant, and male-serious vetiver awaits you. It is dreamily beautiful, the main component, pure and clean. Additionally, it reminds one of the Malle interpretation and is expected to be good. Then there is a sparkling grapefruit that really makes an impression at the beginning. It is in a festive and cocktail mood and provides a brilliant counterpoint to the dry grass/roots. It is so simple and already perfect up to this point. But what comes next is a stroke of genius and absolutely unexpected, a masterful sucker punch. The vetiver loses more and more citrus notes and becomes different. You have never smelled it like this before, unmistakably vetiver, but incredibly deep, dark, and slightly powdery. I wouldn't have figured it out without the fragrance pyramid, but there is a kind of roasted coffee that joins in very subtly. Fabulous!!!

Bottle: large and stylish, especially the magnetic closures.
Sillage: appropriately masculine and not timid.
Longevity: pure quality - lasting 8-9 hours.

With this, the search for my perfect vetiver scent should be over. You can't conclude the topic more beautifully, straightforwardly, and yet captivatingly.
