Parle Moi de Parfum fragrances have the concise elegant simplicity of a haiku: just a few ingredients, combined in just the right proportion, for a beautiful statement. This vetiver has to be the smoothest I've ever sampled.
It's a fresh scent, the vetiver is juicy raw, and the leather note is quieter than you'd expect, balancing the perfume perfectly well on that border between feminine and masculine. Then the coffee appears in the dry down, a bitter dark roast, the kireji in the last verse that gives a dignified sense of closure to the composition.
The perfume is very discreet, but where I live, this is the perfect everyday scent that won't invade my colleagues' personal space or make me feel conspicuous on crowded commuter trains.
