I can always return to this fragrance. Many of my perfumes I prefer in certain weather conditions or during a specific season - however, this one wears well all year round. On cool days, the smoky vetiver notes provide warmth. On warm days, the fresher notes come to the forefront.
For me, it is still better than all the other vetiver fragrances that have been recommended to me and that I have encountered: Chanel Sycomore or Hermes Vetiver Tonka. With those, there is a (to my nose) somewhat synthetic note that I do not like.
The only fragrance that competes with Guerlain Vetiver for me is Chanel 19.
Straight to the point without any frills. There are no alternatives left, except for the Vetiver Extreme. Channel 19 feels like it lasts just a blink of an eye for me.
