Summery Grass Clumps
Annick Goutal, the plant queen of fragrances, presents us with a vetiver scent that I have only just discovered. Simple like almost all vetiver perfumes, they have simply named it Vétiver.
The market offers a wide range of options for vetiver scents. Annick Goutal has quite well captured what vetiver is, namely green. The top note is my favorite here, as it really comes across as rooty. Over time, this vetiver becomes much more pleasant and, yes, associations with spices arise. What exactly Burmese spices are supposed to be, no one can tell me. Spices that were bought in Burma or what?
Basically, this representative of green grass is quite summery. It somehow totally reminds me of the sea and sun. I like the drydown, as the supposed sandalwood-tobacco-tonka bean note creates a scent that differs from most other vetiver perfumes, which in the drydown all just smell the same. In my opinion, there could have been a bit more tobacco.
While Annick Goutal's creation doesn't quite reach the level of Etro's or Lubin's variant (for me), it is definitely worth experiencing for anyone who likes vetiver!
