A perfume with personality

I've tried many men's perfumes and colognes to see if I could find one that suited a more androgynous person, and Vetiver Bourbon, which I picked up on a whim, is by far my favorite out of all of them. Starts out bold, confidently spicy and fresh with the coriander note, then slowly mellows into a smooth, rich vetiver and finally a lingering, heavier but not overpowering scent. Classy, mature, not at all attention-seeking. The longevity is decent but not remarkable; the sillage is definitely weaker than it should be (my mom and dad both only noticed it when I asked them separately if they liked my new fragrance), but I can still recommend Vetiver Bourbon for the scent itself, especially considering the price. I've smelled longer-lasting fragrances from Monotheme, for better and for worse, but when I want to wear something a bit more discreet and refreshing, this is always my go-to scent.

Aromatic vetiver

You know when you walk into a restaurant where your friends have taken you and you survey the situation. You realize that it is packaged well, it is of a certain level and this suggests a high cost for the menu. You start to scroll through the list of food and wine provided by the house and assume an incredulous attitude when the prices catch your eye; “really below the market average” you exclaim. "They will bring us some pre-cooked food." None of this. The approach to this perfume is similar to the metaphor described above. At the opening it is fresh, with the presence of more bergamot and less lemon, but also very aromatic; there is a very consistent mugwort which, together with a little coriander, makes the atmosphere herbaceous, bitter. These aromatic herbs continue to writhe under the nose for at least ten minutes while the citrus fruits take on a secluded profile. At this point the fragrance turns towards a note of vetiver which at first appears clean thanks to the influence of neroli; then, entering the final phase, the fragrance exhibits a classic style with a propagation of oakmoss and vetiver, softened by a nuance of sandalwood. Experience above expectations

Light and fresh for the summer

Tart, acidic freshness in the top note, supported by a warm, woody base. Very nice! A little weak on the chest, but could be just the thing in summer.

Pleasant to wear, without overwhelming powderiness, sweetness or shrill patchouli synthetics.

Lasts about an hour on my dry skin and hardly projects at all, but will certainly be a little better in warmer weather.

Bottle is nothing special, but more than okay for the sensational price of £13/100 ml including postage from the Netherlands!
