Simple and likeable
I'm a little surprised he gets off so badly. I like it a lot, even though I have to agree with most of you about the price. The Privé fragrances of Armani are very expensive and certainly not all the money worth. Nevertheless, I find this one very successful. And as described by many, it is a perfect everyday fragrance. It doesn't catch on, it doesn't bother and has a pleasant, clean freshness, like a freshly washed shirt. I gave it to my husband as a present and I love to sniff it at him. For me, Vetiver d'Hiver is the male version of Farmacia Annunziata 450, which I consider one of my favourite fragrances. The drydown is very similar in both, with the vetiver remaining greener and fresher. But it also suits a woman, which is why I occasionally borrow it :)

What makes this fragrance special to me? Despite its superficial green notes, I find it very cuddly and cuddly. And even if it doesn't look spectacular, as you might expect from a fragrance in this price range, it still remains in your memory. I do not find Vetiver d'Hiver at all interchangeable. It has a high recognition value for me. But maybe I like simple knitted fragrances as well. Therefore they do not have to be worse.

Vetiver d'Hiver fits my business as well as my private life. He simply sniffs for a likeable gentleman, no wild daredevil or prolo. Maybe that's what I love about him.

I think Sillage and durability are really very good for a green fragrance. I can smell him on my husband all day long, into the evening hours.

Green winter lantern
Slim, green, translucent like the light in winter, with a special touch that AugustA likes well, but I can't make it out more precisely. Something like green gas lantern maybe.
A slightly different vetiver, in which the emphasis is not on the sweet grass, but nevertheless lets cool and at the same time somewhat exotic green shine, albeit rather softly.
Surely a little more to the suit than to the dress.

Wonderful!
This fragrance is just great!
The vetiver, as mentioned in previous comments, is very fresh and not musty or too earthy at all.
The top notes awaken the senses and I immediately get the desire to go out into the countryside.
Heart & base notes complement each other perfectly with this fresh, dry, clean vetiver.
For me one of the best summer/spring scents based on vetiver!

Can vetiver also be modern ?
Today it's time for another comment, today it's the turn of a vetiver fragrance, vetiver associate very many people as a smell for the older generation, I find that this stereotype is not true. Armani Vétiver d'Hiver is the perfect example of a modern and fresh vetiver fragrance. I can clearly perceive the vetiver note but with a very nice cologne typical edge with bergamot, mandarin and lemon, this combination in the top note makes Vétiver d'Hiver a modern vetiver fragrance. The price is also in an acceptable range for me. I was able to purchase the 50 ml bottle for 84€. The performance could be a little better but is still in the acceptable range for me. The silage is never stronger than an arm's length. I can feel Vétiver d'Hiver on me for about 6 hours. I can recommend everyone to try Vétiver d'Hiver, this vetiver fragrance pleases everyone no matter how old. I also often wear Vétiver d'Hiver to the office because it is simply more unique than a Prada l'homme for me.

Beautiful scent but doesn't last long enough
I am a huge vetiver fan, and enjoy Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Roja Vetiver, Creed Vetiver and many others. This is a lovely fresh, bright, summery scent. The vetiver is not dark or earthy, but much more a long the lines of Tom Ford's GV but with added citrus. Unfortunately, this means that it doesn't enjoy the longevity of some of the other vetiver fragrances out there. You will get a few hours out of it, but would probably need to refresh at that point. STill, it's one I reach for regularly, especially in the summer. It is classy, fresh, alluring and elegant.

Imagine a slightly more upscale Acqua Di Gio, with some faint vetiver drydown. Nice, but worthy of the Prive line placement and price? NO

This is one of my personal favorites for 2022 because it can be worn anywhere, at any time. Soft but not weak, strong but not overpowering.

More ripe citrus fruits than vetiver. A round, soft, quite pleasant everyday fragrance.
