For Vetiver Lovers
Many have come and gone. Some were liked, some stood out, others were forgotten. Vetiver scents. Countless to find. Temporarily hyped, always polarizing. Not everyone likes the green herb, which I can understand. I like vetiver, have always liked it. Although not in every blend presented. Some I even find repulsive. However, there are also gems like Dior's Vetiver (unfortunately disappeared) or Sultan Vetiver by Nishane. I appreciate the straightforwardness of the scents. Little fragrance development leads to a lot of nose grinning for me, happy nose grinning.
I stumbled upon a leftover decant by chance. It was included with the purchase of a bottle, a nice member added it (thank you very much at this point). The scent and the small company were unknown to me, and that after almost 10 years of membership, oh dear…..
At some point, I randomly sprayed it on my skin, gave it some time to then "sniff" more intensely
The scent didn't take long to captivate me. Wow! Noble, pure, classic but not outdated, grown-up! Timeless, nothing trendy, just timeless!
It reminds me of a nice hotel in Hong Kong where we always stay for business. It smells very similar in the small dining room there. They often use light room fragrances in such places. Woody, green, majestic, refreshing, grounding. You feel comfortable there, very comfortable. And that's despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that the premises haven't been renovated in a long time. So not adapted to the latest 5-star standard by an interior designer, but consistently cozy over the years, designed for lingering. That's how the Vetiver Man smells to me. A very delicious mixture that withstands trends. I practically book the scent anew every year again and again. Thought in a transferred way….
What makes the scent so special?
In the old decant that I was allowed to test, 40-year-old vetiver was used. In my new bottle, it is "only" 25 years old. But I still believe that it is precisely this old herb that gives the scent its special flair. Like old barrels give good wine or whiskey a special note. More intense, matured.
Like in Sultan Vetiver, the scent also comes across as somewhat woody, musty, earthy, which I really like. Small edges and corners! Not smoothed out.
Three types of citrus fruits make the scent lightly fresh without taking a front seat in the nose. Perhaps it is the citrus fruits that make this vetiver usable for me all year round. I can wear it without hesitation in winter as well as in the height of summer. To work as well as in the evening at the club. With jeans and with a suit…. So 24/7/365.
I perceive pepper and tobacco very distantly. Vetiver and oak moss play the first violin. Stradivari ;-)
I smell nothing industrial. It truly smells like a small manufactory, like handcrafted. Thank you again to Georg for this new edition!
It would be a clear signature scent if it weren't for the limited availability. So it remains more of a VID signature scent, that is, a Very Important Day signature scent ;-)
Target audience: probably more U30, if not even U40.
Bottle: absolutely secondary. Here, only the content matters!
So, anyone who has the opportunity to get this scent and likes vetiver should strike IMMEDIATELY before the chance passes again.
