for vetiver lovers
This is vetiver in all it's rooty glory. It's smelled completely different on different wearings and it goes through many transitions, ending up in a completely different place than it begins.
I tested this one first, before I'd figured out that Parfumo had the notes list so I went in completely blind. This time I got a tiny hint of the lime and then a strong version of the vetiver I know from perfumery accompanied by some marshiness. The next morning it was all maple syrup and cinnamon (Cambodi oud?) On a subsequent wearing with a bigger swipe it was a positively feral vetiver that I scarcely recognized, salty like marsh grass and almost Encre Noir like in its black rootiness.
Again I'm impressed with oud's ability to ground and smooth notes I don't usually care for (vetiver, especially Encre Noir style) into something pleasing. Still, I'm surprised at how many times I've gone back for swipes from this vial, there's something about the raw naturalness of this that's the next best thing to pulling up a fresh handful of vetiver grass and sniffing the roots.
