Not for warmists
... like me ;-) And because it is so embarrassing, I'll try to make it short:
As a fan of strong fresh fragrances, this vetiver from Hermes should actually be just right for me. So tested a few times, although not found optimal, but ultimately bought. Also because I found others such as Guerlains Vetiver as too soft and I was therefore specifically looking for more expressive representatives of this direction. And just such I found at Hermes.
But now the BUT: because I should perhaps have paid more attention to the "Intense". Here are the details:
Hermes Vetiver opens with a powerful bergamot, which does not come across pointed, but deep, round, full and acidic - just great. But right from the start, with about 50%, there is a woody green note that provides a dry counterpoint to its striking freshness, but complements it quite well. Funnily enough, for about 10 minutes, the flint known from Terre d'Hermès can also be perceived, but only skin-deep and then only homeopathically ... Unfortunately, the tart citrus soon recedes to about half, while the vetiver increasingly gains the upper hand. What you smell from the second hour, is a fresh citrus interwoven dry dark green wood, which creates a very linear course with a neat pinch of pepper.
And with power. Because Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver radiates siginfikant, for about 8 hours. At the same time, I felt him best with 3-4 spritzes on the chest, which provides him with the powerful sillage and persistent durability when going over to the shirt. Should you have hair in this area, every single one of them straightens up and also you inevitably takes a bolt upright posture;)
And that's actually how you wish a fragrance to be, isn't it? Already, but for me this direction is just too masculine. I consider it a top fragrance when it should go into a sour, strong cool green woodiness and you are not looking for anything in the direction of barbershop. But although I did not really want to admit it and this vetiver would actually have to fit quite well to me, I could not make friends over the months but so right with him, because he was simply too concise, striking and dominant to me.
For all those who want to emphasize their masculinity may be the tart Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver a recommendation, but I must somehow manage otherwise;) Because that is guaranteed
nothing for warm shower ...

Edit Feb21 : Apparently I am now mature enough for this fragrance, after the morning 12° degree shower for my three-month Ironman training was still the most relaxing exercise.... (o.k. that was a lie;)
But either my scent preference has evolved after 1.5 years more in the direction of tartness, and / or this fragrance has become a little more pleasing. In fact, it seems to me now no longer quite so harsh, bitter and repellent austere, but optimally balanced (even the bergamot holds out longer in my batch). In short: This Hermes is now in my Top10 ascended and an unconditional recommendation for masculine perfumes.
Because as a vetiver fragrance, it is clearly different from the usual representatives of this direction: it is crystal clear, citrusy-peppery and dark green woody fresh!
