Refreshing
I got this as a recommendation since I love vetiver and green scents, and this delivers. It's so fresh and light while still having a great longevity and making a lovely little scent bubble around you. I'd describe it as a scent that even people who aren't as enamored with vetiver could love since the citrus notes soften the grassier parts and make it a very smooth experience.

I have skin that loves to eat scents and this still persisted for around 8 hours, and closely smelling my wrist still produced a hint even 12 hours later. For a more evocative description, it smells like an idealized meadow to me. Light, with only a hint of earthiness and the freshness of a spring breeze. I blind bought the travel size and I'm very pleased with how approachable it is. This could easily be a daily scent and seems perfectly acceptable for both casual days and the workplace. I often use this on days when my harsher earthier scents might be too much.

My signature
I got the best news of my life while wearing this so I’ll always think of hope, opportunity, and unbridled joy wearing this

Love it as a genuine unisex, never smelled anything like it. Feels like mother nature giving you a kiss. Earthy in a way I’ve never imagined earth. NOT overpowering either, you have to be close to appreciate the sensuality of the notes. From afar I just smell “clean” and “woodsy” .

Super masculine
It smells like being on a date with a man and he has on way too much cologne, but it's on yourself. No one else seems to think you put on too much though. My boyfriend who has a sensitive nose liked this on me. At first, it smells like Barbasol and Aqua Velva, but fades to be clean and inoffensive. I don't think I actually know what vetiver smells like. It doesn't hurt to reapply throughout the day. Surprisingly masculine for JHaG.

Surprisingly creamy
Once again a review of a Juliette Has A Gun fragrance. I used to test the fragrances of this brand quite often and also have Vanilla Vibes in my collection. Also the MMMM... I thought was really good. In recent years, this brand has somehow been slightly forgotten. A few releases came out, but they weren't really in the spotlight. I only tested this Ex Vetiver from 2024 by chance, as this fragrance was included as a sample with an order. My expectations were not really high, as I am not a big fan of vetiver (at least not in the main role). However, my expectations were exceeded and I think this fragrance deserves at least a first review. The fragrance seems to be well received anyway with a score of 8.0 and some good statements. The fact that the big breakthrough didn't happen is also due to the brand and the lack of hype. In any case, it's a great, cheerful spring and summer fragrance that you can also wear on mild days.

This brand from France is always fairly priced. The old stuff is already available for a fabulous 50-60€ per 100ml, these brand new releases are of course not yet available. But with a discount, you could also get them for a good €100. The fragrances come in a simple but cool box, which absolutely does justice to the price. In terms of quality, this brand can also be placed somewhere between designer and niche. The bottles are quite pretty with this color gradient. The whole thing is quite attractive and functionally everything is in the green zone.
I was pleasantly surprised by the scent as I'm not such a big fan of vetiver. The progression of this fragrance is also enormous and it turns into a very lively, fresh scent. The vetiver in this fragrance is rather fresh and green and provides fresh summer vibes, especially at the beginning with this lemon-mountain moth combo. The vetiver notes are rather fresh and grassy at the beginning and not like in Terre D'Hermes, for example. A friendly green freshness that radiates positive vibes. Even with the citrusy notes, it is a blessing in summer. After 1-2 hours, this fragrance picture turns completely and unexpectedly in my eyes: Ex Vetiver becomes very creamy, fluffy and also a bit tropical. I didn't really expect that from this pyramid, but it's probably due to the clean, creamy musk that kicks in quite early. You have to like it and it's quite unexpected in this title. There is also a modern woody ambroxan freshness. Overall quite modern, positive and very tasty with this citrusy-creamy note. Absolutely unisex and also very pleasing. Even though vetiver is in the title, it is not in the foreground in my opinion, but it is definitely present throughout.
Performance is really good for a fragrance in this genre. This fragrance lasts for several hours and sweetens the wearer's spring-summer day. Sillage is good, especially for the first 3-4 hours. A great choice for leisure and everyday wear.

On the whole, absolutely not a blind buy candidate. You have to like these very creamy notes. Nevertheless, a great fun-loving modern release from this house.

Ex Vetiver opens citrusy and green, then turns into a creamy, musky vetiver. A fresh and soft take on vetiver, perfect for daily wear.

Bright lemony citrus and sharp greens mellow into a smooth, almost creamy vetiver with musky undertones. Unisex but would love this on a man

I'm wearing this fragrance for the first time today and it's been 8 hours, 4 sprays, and I can still smell it so strong on me. It smells good.

Bland as can be. Not a single hint of vetiver here, only some vague citrus and maybe a touch of ambroxan. How disappointing.

Fresh, green, citrus, springy. Didn't knock my socks off but I wouldn't kick it out of bed, kind of thing.

Grass. If you want a grass scent that lasts a decent time this is it.
