Vetiver in Oak Scents of Wood 2020

Earthier than I’d prefer. I was hoping for a “dustier” vetiver, if you know what I mean, but this one is less dust and more soil. I’ve been using it instead to layer with fragrances that are a bit too feminine for my tastes. A spritz of this grounds and masculinizes it. It blends especially well with vanillas. I’m not going to purchase a full bottle at that price though. Worth a try if you enjoy an earthy vetiver!

As I put the fragrance on, I was immediately struck by the nose-tingling burst of lime and pink pepper. It was a refreshing and invigorating start to the fragrance. As the scent settled on my skin, I could smell the woody vetiver, which gave it a warm and comforting feeling. The cypress and amber notes enhanced the woody scent, making it even more complex and mature.

What I love about Vetiver in Oak is that it's not a typical masculine scent. It's challenging but in a good way. It's a unique fragrance that stands out from the crowd. I must also mention the gorgeous bottle, which is a bonus.
