Pierre's vision of Guerlain Vetiver

Due to the Vetiver and Tobacco aroma, which are the main ones that i notice on me, Vetiver Matale seems like Pierre version of Guerlain's Vetiver (before the last 2012 reformulation). The tea and citrus side of Matale gets lost on me, because the green and woody vetiver is very intense from the beginning, followed by the spicy honeyed nuances of tobacco-honey combination (which favors more the dry and spicy aromas than the honey and sweet ones). It's a good vetiver, but doesn't go beyond that, so it migh be redundant if you already have a few vetiver frags. I consider it interesting for the ones that wanted a no powdery version of Guerlain's Vetiver without loosing the strenght on vetiver and tobacco.

Asparagus with tobacco

To amuse myself I bought a (very noble looking) rehearsal box from Pierre Guillaume (whom we always call Peter Wilhelm). It arrived today and down left I started with Vétiver Matale. I sprayed my right forearm and family tester M exclaimed enthusiastically: "this smells like asparagus". By that he meant the indefinable aromatic notes. It must be said that M loves asparagus (unlike me). I can't smell asparagus, but I don't know what it is either. Direction green-spicy. The projection of the top note is quite strong. Green tea I can imagine, but not really smell.

Then the indefinable (or asparagus) fragrance gives way to a relatively strong tobacco smell with a bit of vetiver. I associate the smell of tobacco with men. This may be a childish imprint, but I find the smell of tobacco strange in me (since I stopped smoking). But M is of the opinion that the scent is unisex. It's a clear case of everyone having to know that for themselves. The projection goes back very much after about half an hour.

I can't say anything about the background. Matale is a city on Sri Lanka. Whether it smells like that there, or whether the vetiver comes from there... no idea.

All in all I like Vetiver Matale, but especially the base, which is soft and ambratic. I can imagine Vetiver Matale more on men of all ages. It's not a universal vertiver. You can probably wear it well in spring, autumn and winter. As a man, I'm sure at work, too. Maybe the projection is too weak to go out. Which brings us back to what we must all know for ourselves
