I admit I'm a big fan of vetiver in fragrance, and this doesn't disappoint. It differs from other vetivers in my collection (Guerlain Vetiver, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Diptyque Vetyverio, etc) in...

"Contrasted and rich, Vetiver Oriental explores the chocolate redolent darkness of vetiver, the fragrant pale-beige roots of Indian grass. The scent of vetiver ranges from bitter grapefruit to soft...

I like some vetiver fragrances, but not this one. To my nose it smelled a lot like walking into my hair salon, where everything they use is from Aveda. Overwhelming, a bit too vanilla-sweet, and...

I find this an interesting scent in that it unites opposites. It smells really clean, but it's also very sexy. And it smells crisp, but at the same time sultry. I think it would smell equally good...

I get no chocolate from VO, unless it's chocolate that's been thrown into a tire fire. There is indeed a deeply sexy vetiver fragrance buried in here, too bad it's smothered by a persistent...

I love vetiver, and (generally) the deeper and darker the better. I get no thrill from Guerlain's Vetiver, for example, which I find too clean, almost soapy-smelling. In the vetiver spectrum,...
