Vétiver Bourbon Parfum d'Empire 2022

If you love vetiver, you should definitely try "Vétiver Bourbon | Parfum d'Empire." At first, I found it quite bulky and too intense, but over time it becomes more pleasant. The longevity is strong, lasting over 12 hours, and the sillage is also quite pronounced.

I would largely forgo discussing top, heart, and base notes here, as certain aromas are always present to varying degrees. Dominating it all is the vetiver, which gives off an earthy, woody, greenish, slightly smoky, and root-like scent. This is accompanied by oriental spices such as cloves, allspice, cumin, and nutmeg. Angelica root adds a certain pepperiness to the fragrance. Iris and violet contribute a powdery aspect. Thanks to ambrette seeds, musk is also noticeable.

Those who prefer more rugged and dry scents might find happiness with "Vétiver Bourbon | Parfum d'Empire." I thank Nick for the sample.
