Feminine side of vetiver?

I've been revisiting the house of Mancera lately and to be honest I'm not a huge fan. Their fragrances come up as too synthetic and overly sweet to a point I honestly dislike some of their power houses like: Aoud Lemon Mint, Red Tobacco and headache inducing Instant Crush but , of course there are some exceptions like Vetiver Sensuel.

With this one the titular vetiver is front and center (as opposed to Cosmic Pepper where the pepper is hardly noticeable but I digress). Vetiver is a very masculine note hence this would be a very masculine fragrance... right? well not really, it has some floral notes that softens it and adds feminine sensibilities making it this a more original interpretation of the vetiver.

Performance is very solid, signature Mancera performance which is always good. I really enjoy this one and it's perhaps a top 5 for me.

Very fresh, easy-to-wear vetiver

One of Mancer’s recent releases is Vetiver Sensuel, which immediately smells like a mix of light vetiver with citruses and florals. Some notes that seem to stand out are a mix of citruses (lemon, orange, bergamot, lime), pepper, vetiver, mint, patchouli, and a blended base of woods and musk, mainly. So it’s a formula that seems like it’ll produce an agreeable perfume, and that’s largely true in my wearing of it. There’s not much to dislike; it’s very easy to wear.

Vetiver Sensuel is not quite as deep or interesting as other “fresh vetiver” scents, like Roja Vetiver Extrait or Dua Fragrances’ recent original, Pretiosum Vetiverum. It’s a little less sharp that Guerlain Vetiver, however, so it really might work for many a summer vetiver scent that is pretty inoffensive.

Overall, I quite like it—I associate Mancera and Montale with heavier scents, typically, so it’s always nice to a see a freshie release that’s fun like Cedrat Boise or Aoud Lemon Mint. It performs reasonably well and is sold by Krystal Fragrance for the standard pricing of $180 for 120ml.

Boosted Terre D'Hermes edt.

If you like Terre D'Hermes edt. You will like this one as well. The scent is almost identical but 5 times more intense(if i smell this blind , i would say this is Terre D'Hermes with steroids).
I like it and the top notes last longer(orange, grapefruit and pepper) than Hermes edt. I haven't smelled/owned Edp version of Hermes, so i cannot compare it.
Lovely stuff for those who like Terre D'Hermes Edt.
In the morning use this one and during the day boost it with Terre D'Hermes edt=its Perfect.

edit. Dry down is very different than Hermes! Soapy+ fruity.
But When you combine/layer this two there is a heavinly scent.
This is on it's own a really good scent. But with Hermes edt it's magnificent!

Classic, but not outdated

Few would associate vetiver with sensuality, but rather with practicality. Of course, there are many different variations of the sweet grass - from green to earthy-smoky - but in most classic perfumes, the middle ground is sought. Just like Montale with Vetiver Patchouli, Mancera has created a scent that leans slightly towards Orage; however, I find the Louis Vuitton to be more reserved, powdery, and also grayer.

The sensual side of Vetiver Sensuel could be interpreted as the slightly fresh effect at the beginning, which for me mainly arises from bergamot and orchid. Here, I do not see the citrus or the light floral quality as truly dominant, as both are well balanced and a green facet is already noticeable. The mint is, in my opinion, only subtly detectable in the background, while the pepper adds a bit of spice. The initial impressions thus result from a blend of masculine and feminine notes, of classic and modern elements. Gradually, however, these boundaries shift, as the subtly dry-woody component and the typical fading of the top notes make Vetiver Sensuel seem a bit 'old school' now. Amber/sweet notes play no role here, rather patchouli and oak moss in a supportive manner. The scent remains relatively bright and, fortunately, does not become powdery, which otherwise makes many perfumes associated with vetiver and/or a certain soapiness perceived as very outdated.

Conclusion: Mancera has created a pleasant, naturally appearing vetiver scent that, while it does not offer a true refreshment, seems appropriate for all seasons. As expected, it is more suitable for mature individuals, ultimately does not quite live up to its name, and is personally a bit too classic for me. (I am not necessarily the biggest fan of vetiver-dominated scents.) However, for those who generally enjoy this direction, considering a test at the good price-performance ratio would be worthwhile.

The Vetiver-Lemonade for Summer! Not really "sensual" but damn good!

Hey, this is the first comment on the fragrance, how nice :)
I was able to test the scent in a sharing, and what can I say? I LOVE vetiver scents anyway, but this one... This is my new go-to summer vetiver!

Anyone reading the fragrance pyramid will already guess that this scent starts off very citrusy. And that's exactly how it is. The lemon is the first thing you smell. A very light orange in the background. But luckily, it's not a "cleaning product lemon," but a freshly cut lemon that is just on its way into the lemonade glass. My better half mentioned a shower gel scent, and I can understand where she's coming from. The top note is just very refreshing and somehow clear... I'm sure you understand what I mean ;)

After about 20/30 minutes, the citrus scent fades further into the background. Mint comes to the forefront, and the vetiver announces itself. However, the mint doesn't stick around for long... after about 20 minutes, only the vetiver remains. However, it's accompanied by a very light orchid note. This note lingers in the background and adds a certain lightness. The vetiver is not earthy or dirty, as you might know it from Encre Noire or similar scents. It's somewhat like in Grey Vetiver or Guerlain's Vetiver, but a bit lighter there.

Once the base notes are reached, not much happens in terms of scent development. But that's a good thing! The drydown is heavenly! As mentioned, perfect for (high) summer, but also very wearable on warm spring or autumn days.
The longevity is a good 7 to 8 hours.

I haven't seen the bottle in person, but it looks great in the pictures. And all Mancera bottles are fantastic.
I also find the price good! The scent is excellent and smells very high quality. I think my decant will be gone quickly, and then I’ll need a full bottle!

terre de hermes + orange lemoade. Its a more youthful version of TdH." Rain in the spring" might describe the feeling it evokes the best

Bright citrusy opening, non-earthy vetiver that hangs around the entire time but never really takes over. Personally love, just wish it lasted longer.

Safe everyday vetiver if the really earthy Encre Noire type are not your thing, lots of fresh citrus on the open, drying down to a warm earthy amber.

A classic fresh-woody vetiver: sharp citrus notes with mint and pepper on the mentioned sweet grass. Mancera's synthetic notes don't bother me at all!
