Perfect clean fragrance for everyday wear
Have you ever felt like you need an "easy reach" everyday fragrance? Something for those days when you just want to throw on a t-shirt and jeans and head out the door? Here's your perfect everyday perfume!
When I first sampled Vetiver in Chestnut, I was smelling it among many other, much stronger fragrances. After getting all those smells into my nose, this one was so light on the paper strip, I wasn't sure if I could really even detect a smell at all. Still, I felt the need to to buy a sample so I could get some one-on-one time with this fragrance. I'm glad I did!
The first spray is a fresh, woody, almost soapy smell. Very clean and very light. From the beginning, there is faint projection and I have to directly smell very close to my skin to even pick up on it.
As it dries, it continues to be a soft, fresh aroma, but you can detect the subtlety of other resinous notes. The licorice gives it an almost caramel sweetness (without veering into gourmand territory). I tested this on my husband who is very sensitive to fragrances and he said it was his favorite of all my samples. So I think this fragrance would be very wearable in an office setting, where people around you may be more sensitive and offended by strong smells.
If your goal is to project a cloud of fragrance around and get lots of compliments, this one will not give you that. For that reason, I also wouldn't recommend this one as a "night out" or winter fragrance. This is for mature folks (of any gender) who just want to smell lovely, clean, and approachable.
