Ex Vetiver Juliette Has A Gun 2024

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” .

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.

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.

It gives off Bionsen shower gel vibes: that clean, relaxing, almost therapeutic feeling… Vetiver and carefree lightness coexisting. On one side it’s fresh, citrusy, bright, almost carefree… on the other, it has a base that gives structure—an elegant depth that never lets it feel flat.
It’s a fragrance that flows effortlessly. I can totally imagine it paired with a fig note as well.

The ingredients of the fragrance pyramid could have resulted in a veritable citrusy vetiver scent. This is the formula that makes vetiver lovers happy. There’s also a bit of musk in the base, and to give it a touch of modern freshness, Ambroxan does a good job.

However, it seems someone wanted to transform a classic vetiver scent into something special. Perhaps following the spirit of the times. It's all a matter of taste, after all. In any case, this transformation unfortunately makes the fragrance unusable for me personally, as I do not like sweet-creamy scents.

Those who have already tested the fragrance will know what I’m talking about. Ex Vetiver, which looks so beautifully green and fresh, has been given a considerable portion of patchouli and especially vanillin. That was it for me.

In passing, I find Ex Vetiver very nice. A creamy-fresh charmer, certainly with character, thanks to the vetiver. But for wearing myself? No thanks. I can’t tolerate rich notes very well.

Nevertheless: A good fragrance at a reasonable price.
