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.

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!

A classic topic only partially rethought

Once again, Vetiveria is a perfume that piqued my curiosity with its fragrance notes, and with the Ormonde Jayne brand I was expecting above all a modern, airy and transparent creation of the vetiver theme, which has already been interpreted in so many different ways. The brand succeeded in part, but it also drew on very classic accords, as both light chypre and fougère elements can be filtered out.

I really like the opening, because it has a very diverse aromatic-green-spicy effect and is also characterized by a rather mild, fruity lime, which is accompanied by a very subtle coumarin sweetness. I cannot say from personal experience exactly what Nepalese Szechuan pepper (Timut Pepper) smells like, but I find Linda Jayne Pilkington's description of it as fruity, airy and tangy understandable. In this respect, the fragrance already has a certain freshness - but I would have expected more citric acidity here. The floral heart notes here serve more to lend the fragrance fullness and yet lightness than to really accentuate it.

When perfumes are too smooth, I find them less appealing, which is why I also appreciate the fact that Vetiveria has a little bit of gruffness right from the start. The reason for this is that not only grassy, slightly woody vetiver is the center of attention, but also - in my perception - (oak) moss. This gives the fragrance a very classic, masculine facet and reminds me somewhat of men's fragrances from the 80s or early 90s. However, Vetiveria is slimmer overall and becomes softer and gentler over time.

The projection is slightly above average at first, but loses a lot of intensity after one or two hours and over time the fragrance is more skin-deep, but can be perceived for a relatively long time. In any case, it should be enough for a working day (I tested it on three) and in general I find Vetiveria best suited for daytime, work and leisure and for more mature men or younger ones who like more classic fragrances. Unfortunately, this Ormonde Jayne loses too much of its tension for me personally when the top notes fade and becomes a little too mossy.
