White Vetiver

What Q80 says; "fizzy vetiver, like a sparkling vetiver drink". Man, that's exactly what I was thinking today when wearing it on my wrist. I kept on going back to my hand and sniffing while thinking, this could be a sour-y cocktail. Sour sounds bad for a perfume, but I mean it in a positive way – I'm not the citrus type, but I do adore vetiver and the blend in this fragrance is perfect. I love the scent. To me it's definitely Abel's best. Can't say anything about the projection yet, as I have only been wearing it a couple times. I have the 1ml sample without atomizer, so it's hard to add it to my skin evenly. I'm thinking of buying a bottle as I feel this really fits me. Just not convinced about the longevity yet. EDIT: bought a full bottle!

Y'all have those scents in your collection that you don't reach for anymore often, but when you do you just question yourself why you don't? That's white vetiver for me. Quite sadly discontinued now, as part of Abel's idea to keep their offering small and collected. Late spring, early summer, you could not go wrong with this. It opens very citrussy- & limey, followed by a long-lasting combination of prominent earthy vetiver and vanilla in the background. It's grounding, refreshing and great for any close setting due to its moderate sillage and scent bubble. Longevity is good as I can consistently smell it after a full day's work. Amazing offering by an amazing house. 8.5 / 10

Like the other vetiver fragrances I’ve tried, this also is not long-lasting, though it maintains it’s hold longer than most. White vetiver by Abel is one of the brightest vetivers I’ve experienced. The lime and mint come through up front and it settles into a nice green vetiver base. This one is much cleaner and not as bitter or dry as what normally comes to mind when thinking of vetiver. Overall, I like this quite a bit, but it’s not my favorite vetiver.

Bright, smooth, and clean. I love the lime, and touch of Vetiver. Beautiful opening, continuously impressive dry down. Performance is about 2hrs on my skin with vague hints for another hour. I'm not sure about projection without having someone else to ask. I would get a bottle if it lasted longer.

A fresh, beautiful take on vetiver. A burst of cool lime start this zesty cocktail off, as it transitions over the next few hours to a true, rooty but fresh vetiver. Nags of mineral ambergris and ginger zip in and out. A lovely fresh vetiver fragrance.
