Smooth smart vetiver
Nutty earthy wood. Opens with a rich and oily nuttiness soon joined by a subtle, root vegetable earthiness—ever so slightly sweet and powdery. Becomes increasingly fresh and somewhat soapy on my skin, with a faint grassiness in the far background. Ends with buttery blond woods, still both dry and fresh, and richer resins. A deftly composed, seemingly effortless balance of savory, sweet, and fresh notes. Incredibly easy to wear, it draws you in over and over as it evolves. Stays lovely and in tune with my skin into the dry down; so soothing and introspective. Amongst my very favorite Vetivers.

Smoother, and less sweet than Fat Electrician. Less rooty and earthy than most popular Vetivers (e.g. Encre Noire, Sycomore), sans citrus (e.g. Terre d’Hermes, Grey Vetiver) but still nuanced and interesting.

Cracked earth
Vetiverissimo by Bruno Fazzolari is a perfume sample that came to me with absolutely no background, no concept, and no notes. Apparently, Fazzolari just wanted to see if he could create a nice vetiver perfume for himself to wear. That's really cool, and I imagine that Bruno Fazzolari is laid back enough as an artist and perfumer to just let his work speak for itself.

As it turns out, even before I knew what the official notes were, I was able to say that it smelled very Indian to me, full of those yellow, dusty Indian spices like saffron and turmeric that smell more like the earth than of fire. In fact, the perfume smelled very much like the mitti attars (and some ruh khus) that I have collected in the course of writing my Attar Guide.

I've seen some initial feedback suggesting that people think Vetiverissimo is very simple and straightforward, an impression also given by Fazzolari himself. Other say it smells like Route du Vetiver, a very butch, rooty vetiver that smells like man sweat to me. For what it's worth, I think it's got more going on than its laid back, zero-concept brand note would suggest. It's a subtly-spiced, turmeric-laden vetiver that smells like the red earth of India before the rains begin, given a pale, cloudy woodiness by a superb sandalwood. Simple, yes, but in the nuanced way sandalwood or mitti oils are, with their series of little movements plotted along a line as opposed to the dramatic, balletic leaps of stormy oud oils, or the rutting rudeness of jasmine.

This is the vetiver that you've always wanted
On a hillside verdant vetiver shoots its roots into the soil and grounds the earth as the wind from a cedar grove wafts upward and the shoots dance with complete abandon.

I have always enjoyed vetiver fragrances but none have captivated me like Vetiverissimo. Bruno's artistry comes forward here to reveal an ability to focus on only the essentials. In his other fragrances he demonstrates an ability to incorporate unique ingredients in complex and dynamic compositions while Vetiverissimo is much more linear and focused. I mean linear in a laudatory sense because it is expertly done. Often vetiver is hidden supporting role but here it is the lead actor. The specific vetiver used in this is La Reunion bourbon vetiver which is some of the best vetiver in the world.

Vetiverissimo is surprisingly fresh and extremely versatile. The cedar used in this is dry and light and beautifully supports the vetiver. This leads to fresh, vibrant fragrance with an earthy spice and woody dry-down.

A Straight Forward Scent for Vetiver Lovers
Vetiverissimo claims to not have any top notes according to their website which is cool I guess, because this one gets straight down to business.

After spraying, it's very dry and green with a touch of "soil" and then what I would describe as earthy spiciness. It's really remarkable how good that smells as opposed to reading it on your computer. As it develops further, it gets even more "vetivery" if that makes sense. This is a no joke scent. Take it or leave it. I'm taking it. Drying down to a light spiced woody earthiness that is really well done.

Just a treat of a scent.

Brilliant Exploration of Vetiver's Depths
This fragrance is a photo realistic scent of vetiver. It does exactly what the name implies, highlighting the complexity of this note. This fragrance starts a little like earthy hay but there is citrus lingering the background that makes the fragrance fresh. Cedar is a prominent note and eventually the fragrance evolves into a spiced woody fragrance . This is aromatic, clean, and woody. Its an interesting exploration of vetiver while still being a good scent for everyday use.

This fragrance creates a good scent bubble around the person wearing it. Its office friendly. It also lasted about 5 hours on my skin, which is just the right amount of time. It gives you the opportunity to freshen up or switch to another fragrance. There are two sizes available a 9ml travel size for $54 and a 30ml full bottle for $135.

A warm, woody, almost-edible vetiver - earthy. Little in the way of frills, simply a good vetiver.

Vetiver is soft and subtly sweet, very similar to Dior. Frau Stulle: “Oh how cool, the whole apartment smells sooo good! Please buy!”

A beautiful vetiver scent underpinned by wood and spices, consistently staying on theme and offering a moderate projection.

Very distinctive vetiver scent, which has spicy and earthy-resinous notes, but above all a musk-hairspray note in its quiver.

A true vetiver scent, but one of the really good kind.
Resinous and woody, not too smoky or heavy. Very pleasant.

I expected more green and fresh notes here. Perfectly balanced wood vetiver with lightness and shimmering highlights.
