Chopped greens and a lovely lime
With this, we have my introduction to Ormonde Jayne's fragrances. I've smelled a few of her Montabacos on test strips but ended up attracted most to the scent of Vetiveria. The eye-catching bright green bottle certainly helped. This review is based off of a 2ml sample.

I'm still unaware of what vetiver itself smells like, so I can't comment on how appropriately this fragrance is named. From the start, a vegetal blast of chopped zucchini greets me. Lime initially teases me and I want more of it. This green scent lasts the entirety of our journey but subsides with a growing grassy note, which I assume is the vetiver. Then the lime kicks it up a notch and is more present hereafter. This is an extremely pleasant and mature combination.

My biggest complaint here is the overall performance. I would have loved more time but have caught myself needing to sniff closely and, ultimately, respraying, after just four hours.

I enjoyed the experience very much but unfortunately a full bottle is not for me. Very relaxing but too pricey for its performance. This does, however, have me anticipating trying more from this house.

A cooling vetiver
Initial spray of Vetiveria immediately reminded me of a less fruity version of Elysium Eau Intense (which I'm not impressed by). I was wrong. It does have that slightly cooling effect that the juniper gives Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée and a similar spiciness as you would find in London Spice. Also green and fresh. The vetiver is a green grassy and woody smell but not overly vetivery like one would find in Sultan Vetiver ...... somewhere in the middle of that and Vetiver Sensuel. This dries down to a very reminiscent Voyage d'Hermès Parfum . Perfect for spring! Glad to see this from Ormonde Jayne!

Fizzy limeade atop vetiver based fougere
The opening of Vetiveria is nice but also a bit bothersome, with the juniper berry and lime providing a kind of fizzy limeade sort of reminiscent of Sedley, but also a hint of citrus-based cleaning product is there, perhaps due to the orange blossom note. The namesake vetiver is not very punchy, but kind of hides in the base of a fougere-y accord that dominates the rest of this fragrance. I actually find the drydown quite similar to Dior Homme (2020) Eau de Toilette. Not a huge performer but is a unique combination of accords that someone might find suits them.

Bright and uplifting composition
I have been looking for a mild vetiver scent - I have Guerlain's Vetiver Parfum but it can be quite harsh, although the performance is outstanding. Someone recommended that I try Vetiveria - I ordered a 2 ml decant and the composition had me at first sniff.

Initially you are hit with citrusy/flowery scent which is quite effervescent there is no vetiver. The lack of vetiver is the opening notes is not a deterrent but on the contrary - the opening resembles youthfulness and freshness. As the scent starts to settle down and "mature" as it transitions and gentle slightly mossy vetiver bubbles up to the top. It is a beautiful transition and has a calming uplifting overall effect.

The longevity is good, projections is good but nothing spectacular, quickly after 2 hours it becomes 1-2 inch scent. Vetiveria is (while I hate this word) a true dumb reach summer daily scent.

Modern classic
When I first sprayed Vetiveria I was met with the most gorgeous classic feeling scent. And I wasn't exactly sure why but I was transported to some time from decades past.

Yes, the notes scream fougere but this scent doesn't carry the weight of a classic fougeres. Just the structure and quality. Looking purely at the notes you'd think this would smell thoroughly old fashioned but it carries a freshness that older fougeres don't.

There is a substantial Initial freshness and greenness that are bright but not exactly light. My only minor gripe is that there is a sort of caramelized thickness deep in the composition that isn't dominant but noticeable which I don't love but isn't a deal breaker in the slightest.

Florals do exactly what they need to do and the green slightly sweet base ground the whole thing with vetiver adding a needed dirtiness.

If you like older masculine green fougeres and want a new take on the theme or just like the idea fougeres but don't like how dated many of them smell then I think you should at least try Vetiveria because it's a unique take that feels like a modernized classic.

Freshly cut grass, cooling juniper, a tangy lime.
Metallic spiciness on a herbal, soapy backdrop.
Earthy, woody base and hay-like sweetness.

Chopped zucchini with lime in the background, then gets grassy. Very relaxing.

Vintage cola-chypre opening transitions into smooth, creamy, masculine white florals and vetiver in lime marinade. Lightly sweet and zingy.

Dirty green, almost resinous, evergreen opening. Dry down becomes peppery bright and almost effervescent. Great scent, awesome drydown.

Fougere-like with zesty lime and pepper + herbs. A bit metallic. The vetiver’s medicinal instead of rooty. Not for me.

Opens up citrusy, flowery uplifting. As it dries down it transitions to beautiful mild vetiver smell

Elegant vetiver with citrus-aromatic opening, but lacks novelty. A refined yet ordinary take, overpriced for its performance.

It's amazing that so many notes are needed to create a relatively simple-looking fresh vetiver scent.

A beautiful combination of lime and juniper berry, very refreshing in the opening. As it develops, it's very green with earthy notes.
