A dream in wood
Yesterday I asked in the ticker whether a signature scent must automatically also be the favorite scent. The overwhelming opinion was no. I see it similarly. I can have a signature scent that stands for me, that says a lot to me, and at the same time have a favorite scent that I love to smell.
"Cuir Vétiver" has the potential to become my favorite scent without being my signature scent. This is because it lacks any animalicism that a signature scent must have for me.
Still, I love it. In my search for a good authentic vetiver scent, I ordered it blind. Yves Rocher advertises that the fragrances are of natural origin. And I think you can tell.
In particular, the Haitian vetiver comes across very authentic. I myself have several vetiver oils, which are extracted from the roots of a sweet grass, because I like the scent very much. It can vary greatly depending on the origin and age of the oil, from herbaceous to sweet to woody, from intense to delicate. Vetiver is also one of the few essential oils that matures and improves with age. In my experience, the older the oil, the more intense it becomes. The noblest and deepest vetiver, in my opinion, is Rhu Khus from India. I also wear the oils pure as a fragrance.
The vetiver used here is exactly the same in nuance as the Haitian vetiver I have. It is quite woody and of medium intensity. Especially in the beginning, it is caressed by a sweet tonka bean. On top of that, there is a very nice sandalwood. It is not the famous Santalum album, but an oil of the plant species Amyris balsamifera, which is used as a substitute for the expensive and rare Santalum album. Nevertheless, a nice typically creamy-sour sandalwood aroma is perceptible. After some time then these notes recede into the background, and what remains is the woody vetiver.
Now what makes this fragrance so fascinating to me? I think it's two things. The high quality of the natural ingredients, especially the vetiver, is clearly noticeable to me. Ithe scent of vetiver also has a very calming effect on me. I even use stronger oils successfully to help me fall asleep better. This sedative effect of vetiver is now also well documented. It is true that I do not fall asleep from "Cuir Vétiver". That would not make sense either. Nevertheless, the fragrance contributes greatly to my well-being.
The sillage and durability of the patfum are rather average. However, this does not detract from the great fragrance experience. The price is also with not even 25, - € for 50 ml a real bargain. This great fragrance will therefore certainly find a permanent place in my collection.
