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.
