Walking past a...

... I stop in front of the oranges and mandarins in the fruit and vegetable store and the citrus scent fills my nose. I close my eyes and feel like I'm in the south of Italy where the lemons, oranges and mandarins grow. The sun is shining and the scent of the sea tickles my nose. I open my eyes and am still standing in front of the store in the middle of the gray city.

When you apply this fragrance, the first thing you notice are citrusy, spicy, woody and floral notes that are very fresh. There is also something sweet and green that is rounded off with the mossy accords. The musk makes this fragrance powdery and dry. This makes it masculine.

The durability and silage are unfortunately poor.

Here we have a masculine men's fragrance that I see from the age of 30. I can't imagine that the young guys are into such a fragrance, but what do I know. It can be worn all year round, but it really comes into its own on warm and hot days. Personally, I would wear this fragrance during the day in the office, during sports, a meal or simply in my free time. I don't see this fragrance being worn by women either as I find it too masculine for them.

Anyone who likes a fresh citrusy woody powdery masculine fragrance would be right here if this had not been discontinued. Too bad.

1974.
The year in which Germany became football world champion, which cost Richard Nixon his head thanks to Watergate and brought the first IKEA to Germany.
In which Alanis Morisette, Kate Moss and Robbie Williams were born and no one could have imagined what a hype would one day break out about these three tiny creatures.
In the year of punk's birth, people wore mini skirts and overalls, shock colours on bib-like ties, undulating perms and sideburns that almost touched the ban on wearing masks.
The little dove was not yet a little dove and started with a school bag and satchel the way into the seriousness of life.
And Roger & Gallet launched "Vetyver", a Cologne that seems to have landed in the wrong year like a time traveler.

One can only guess what caused the traditional French house, which celebrated its 150th birthday last year, to bring out a fragrance as fine as it is down-to-earth as "Vetyver" in just one year, the taste of which can be described as a little noisy.
It may be that it is due to chance - "Vetyver" was finished and should not have been created for the drawer.
It may also be that one wanted to set an example, swim against the current or simply had a clientele in mind who appreciated a style beyond mass taste which Queen Victoria already appreciated in 1864 and appointed Roger & Gallet purveyors to the court - an honour which was not bestowed on many non-British companies I don't remember anyone wearing "Vetyver" in my personal environment of 1974 - but in the small town in Sauerland where I grew up, "Tosca" and "Tabac" were the undisputed frontrunners anyway...

Also I had to get my 40th birthday behind me to discover the charm of "Vetyver".
What begins bergamottig-nerolig-citrically like countless other colognes, without teasing or brizzling for even a moment, leaves the hesperide-bright realms after a few minutes and transforms into a woody-spicy scented summer garden, in which carnations, rosemary and other herbs create a Mediterranean, very relaxed afternoon atmosphere A little cardamom, a hint of nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon I think I suspect, powerful and yet discreet not very far from my skin away.
Roger & Gallets are not interested in room-filling fragrances, they know how to differentiate between understatement and false modesty.
While I lie with closed eyes in my garden and the sun plays with my naked toes, a light wind rises and carries the scent of dry grasses, a little earth and freshly cut wood to me All this is combined with the still very present spice notes to create an almost oriental scent impression, which never seems overloaded - all components are too finely interwoven, the composition is too well balanced.
In my opinion, the only downer is the naturally limited shelf life of an Eau de Cologne: After four hours at the latest, "Vetyver" is completely vaporized.
