Delicate and rosy, simultaneously cool and herbaceous, but also earthy and green. This is how I can describe this fragrance, which I got at a bargain price at Tk-Maxx, having seen it nowhere else. And a true little "wonder": A full 200 ml bottle for just under 20 euros!! Again in the text: TWO HUNDRED MILLILITERS COST TWENTY!!!! Euros. And "Bois & Vetyver" comes from a Collection Cologne by Pascal Morabito, but is more long-lasting than such. More like an Eau de Toilette. Forest and field in fresh green is just as imaginable with this fragrance as a walk along a stream, or even an autumn landscape. Strange? No, not at all! Bois & Vetiver is a true all-season fragrance, except for icy winter days. And also suitable for many occasions. Even for sports, preferably outdoors, to olfactorily support the fresh air. This fragrance can never become annoying and has a very harmonious progression. The grapefruit, a mood-lifter, along with the bergamot are clearly detectable. Then the scented geranium and fine woods join in, until the vetiver gives its commentary. Not musty, but earthy-fresh. The whole thing lasts a good 4 to 5 hours (now in these temperatures) and remains until the end. (the vetiver, however, gains the upper hand just before the scent fades, but always stays in the grassy-fresh area. Well done and praised by me, even though I am a "pioneer" for this fragrance and this initial comment.
I took the plunge! And I can confirm: absolutely unisex, no associations with "aftershave." A peaceful, quiet companion for warm days. I'm curious to see how it holds up in the cold. But you could definitely warm it up a bit, maybe with a splash of chocolate, a splash of vanilla, or a splash of licorice... Just a little daydream, but I can totally imagine it... Thanks for the comment! A purchase is WORTH IT! Especially at this price!
I saw it at TK Maxx too and was really impressed by your description. I didn't buy it, though, because I'm worried it might smell too masculine (like aftershave). What do you think, is it more masculine or more unisex? Your description definitely appeals to me, great first comment on the scent!
Thanks for the inspiration! I saw it at TK Maxi yesterday, read your comment, and bought it right away today! :-) As a vetiver lover, it's a true addition to my collection. Great scent that can definitely compete with the big names in the genre! ;-)))
