This is how Time bends, Mr. Einstein!
I’m a vintage perfumes lover, and fortunately, thanks to a friend of mine I was able to get a tester of this discontinued beauty.
When we consider vintage masculine Vetiver scents, we tend to assume they all have some kind of connection with Guerlain’s masterpiece of 1964, but this is absolutely not the case.
This one is a different and brighter take on the note. After the initial blast of aldehydes, I can fell a lot of flowers blossoming amidst the fruitiness of oranges, lemon and bergamot (lots of bergamot). Jasmine, Iris, Ylang and a very smooth Rose, with a hint of clove to spice it up… just heaven. A base of Cedar, Sandalwood, labdanum and vanilla, give it a rounder effect.
After 4 hours on my skin it is still projecting, and I keep being reminded of something else I’ve smelled a lot this summer… yes… Bortnikoff Amber Cologne! No, it doesn’t have any vetiver, and this one lacks the ambergris, but they are very, very similar to my nose. So, once again, this one is an absolute BANG!
Excellent projection and performance, a bright fragrance for all year round, very classy, I would recommend it for all genders.
If you find it, don’t let it escape!
9/10
