A great scent. The vetiver notes really sparkle in this one. It's like a walk on the beach with a gin and tonic in your hand. Salty, mineral-y, grassy, citrus-y. Everything you want in a summer...

Notes: grapefruit and cardamom; tahitian vetiver, bourbon geranium, ylang-ylang; orris, patchouli and bourbon vetiver.   This fragrance opens with the unmistakable smell of brine: I see water,...

Smells like herbs to me. Smell is very close to that of The Herb if you know what I mean.

it gets 5 stars for a name that would make someone want to buy it - so many people fall for a dream but if you care about how it smells to someone who doesn't - it smells like hairspray. something...

This is a Holy Grail scent for me. (Yes, there is more than one Holy Grail in my world.) Almost every perfume that calls itself an ocean, or ’beach’ scent offers the aroma of tourists laying by the...

The first 90 seconds of this fragrance are all kinds of wrong: menthol cigarettes, road tar, lawn clippings, seaweed, and cannabis. It settles down for a smooth green middle section of patchouli...

There seem to be a lot of "nice, but meh" responses to this fragrance. To which I respond, "Meh? MEH? REALLY?" And I'm not one for caps. This fragrance is so lovely I had to lie down when I put it...

SdV = My favorite vetiver, and, of course, it completely sneaked up on me. Despite targeting all manner of samples, one arrives on the scene as an extra and surprises the heck out of you. I...

This is fresh and smells a lot like L'Artisan Jatamansi but stronger to me. Has that clean smell to it. Similar to kitchen clean smell to me, don't know if I would wear this. It is very cool...

Sel de Vetiver, composed by Céline Elena, is fascinating. On me, it smells like the Atlantic; cool, slightly gray, peppery, earthy, and smoky. On my husband it smells like the Pacific; warm, salty,...

The top started to smell too masculine for me; I didn't like it. I love cardamom, but I guess it has to be in something sweet. It's not so good with grapefruit and whatever else is up there. ...

This is exactly what I wanted Vetiver Pour Elle to be - smoky but still light and feminine. I love Guerlain's Vetiver, but it can be too masculine. This has grapefruit and cardamom to lighten it...

How intriguing this is! My DH's a wine gourmand and this is one perfume that doesn't hit just the olfactory senses it even makes my mouth water with its salty (hence 'sel) overtones. Am not one...

I keep coming back to my sample of this - even though my best friend said 'it's very masculine - but I suppose some people might find that sexy.' It would do well as a mens' scent, but I like...

The top notes of SdV wore on me similar to Carolina by Carolina Herrera; although the only note I see they have in common is cardamom. There is a very bright, blaring note somewhere that makes me...

Salty, aquatic (but not in that nauseating, home fragrance kind of way), watery, sandy, slightly musky. This does smell remarkably like the ocean, but isn't a beachy scent in the usual way (which I...
