Vetiver Réunion Urban Scents 2016

Vetiver Gives Wings
Just yesterday, I felt like wearing a vetiver scent - but the glaring Montale Red Vetiver spoiled that desire - and drove me swiftly to the water.
TO the water - not INTO the water - because it wasn't that bad after all.
But today, I cautiously turned Vetiver Reunion between my fingers, not knowing if I should take another risk.
No risk - no fun!
So I sprayed it on.
This vetiver is also surprising, as it seems to have detached itself from Mother Earth - and comes across as very airy.
You can already feel the connection to aviation from the perfumer.
Nevertheless, I perceive a slight earthiness, mixed with grapefruit - which wafts towards me.
I recall the glassy vegetation dome, drifting through space with Bruce Dern as the pilot.
He lovingly tends to this precious piece of earth with his two loyal robots.
As he ejects from the capsule, he still sees the last little robot diligently watering the topsoil.
Every time, I have to discreetly wipe away a tear - because "Silent Running" is one of my favorites.
Vetiver Reunion is not at all tearful, as it possesses an interesting lightness - and the earthiness has been transported to a different atmosphere.
Somehow spacey - or "Silent Running."

"Silent in Space" is a classic for me, just like "The Black Hole." Based on your description, this scent could also have the potential to become a classic for me. I definitely need to test it out when I get the chance...

Very beautifully written. Vetiver Reunion is truly a little treasure and has a particularly earthy quality in the top notes, becoming increasingly fruity. A wonderful, ethereal vetiver that deserves much more attention. I find the reference to "Silent Running" very fitting and would like to add the wonderful title song sung by Joan Baez: "Silent Running" or "Rejoice in the Sun" (on YouTube).
