Sweet yuzu and ginger, freshly plucked basil.
Earthy, smoky nuances from patchouli, vetiver.
A green, damp grassfield that becomes hay-like.

Are you sampling others from Rhizome?

@Smirky Nope, just testing some vetivers from @TheDunkPapa :)
Rhinoceros tomorrow - high expectations!

Ooh this sounds good! Poisonously green?

@Longevity Definitely, I mean it doesn't perform worse than your average grandpa juice.
The citrus and ginger sweetness is unique for a vetiver blend.
Goes from a springtime grassfield to a hayfield (think april vs late august, early september).

😆 too bad for the performance. Worth sampling though?

@Longevity Not at all. Compared to She Came To Stay, this is earth's warm embrace haha.
It's a cheerful composition with some character. Would be FB worthy if it had better staying power.

Considering how enjoyable you found this, you might want to sample Cowboy Grass one of these days; it performs a tiiiny bit better than Rhizome 03 and goes into a more aromatic/herbaceous direction.

@TheDunkPapa It's very uplifting but leaves a bit to be desired in terms of pungency.
Yet another perfume that achieves the development of Sultan Vetiver (grassfield -> hayfield) but the performance is lacking.
Thanks for the rec, added Cowboy Grass and Burning Barbershop to the list, anything else worth checking out from the brand?
