Gentle, soft, floating vetiver fragrance
After not writing about fragrances for quite some time, this fragrance did inspire me to comment, which is also the first for this beautiful scent.
I really like mild vetivers. Unfortunately, my two favorite scents that create a "soft, light vetiver aura" for me and aren't too sharp or earthy are relatively high-priced. (Creed Original Vetiver and Frederick Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire).
Into this gap jumps Sunrise Vetiver by Franck Olivier. The fragrance can not replace the two above, unfortunately, completely (it costs only a fraction), but comes quite close to them in some facets. In addition, it is a good Vetiver beginners fragrance, because it is not as strict / spicy as Guerlain Vetiver, or as dark and gloomy occurs as Encre Noir, but rather delicate and gentle comes from there.
SV opens with a pleasant mix of citrus, more lemon/yuzu than grapefruit or orange. In no way sweetish, but lemony fresh. After just under half an hour, the green phase follows, which I attribute to verbena (although I've never smelled verbena pure). But it remains creamy, soft, somehow floating, although the green touch fades more and more into a very slightly smoky vetiver. The fragrance has no great leaps in development, it's always just nuances around which it evolves. SV always remains mild and restrained, even in the drydown, in which I recognize a little light musk next to the vetiver.
While SV shares common aspects with other vetiver scents, it has its own character that I think is worth testing. Supposedly Mark Buxton is the perfumer of SV, I can not judge, also never had (consciously) a fragrance from MB.
With me SV is still slightly perceptible on the skin after four to five hours, then it's over. The fragrance can also not exactly be called a sillage monster, this is me in the spring / summer but often very right :-). For this reason also well suited for the office or the train / plane.
A word still to the flacon: Phenomenal! A very heavy, elegant, handy glass bottle with class magnetic closure, reasonable atomizer and high-quality metal applications. Would also do justice to a 200 euro fragrance.
Oh yes, have I already said that there is Sunrise Vetiver for 15 euros / 75ml to buy?

Lack of concentration (not only among pupils and students) ...
Yesterday at Breuniger:
Proudly the very attractive saleswoman, who is no longer the youngest, tells me that there is now the Aventus in the "fragrance direction Cologne". She attaches importance to the fact...

Cardamom and iris on a high level !
Yes, I know Dior Homme Intense and Valentino Uomo Intense, with all their differences:
Cocoa vs. leather, lipstick vs. vanilla, and some other minor differences. Most of it is true, at least I can perceive these different scents...
