Lunar Vetiver

This is very smooth and lovely. I would say a perfect warm-weather wear. This is the perfect fragrance to pair with natural fabrics, like linen and cotton. It's just that fresh. It opens fresh, dewy, and a bit barbershop from the bergamot, although any dewiness dissipates quickly. Within ten minutes the aridness of vetiver and sage overtake, and we move past the old-timey barbershop funk. In the opening, the sage and bergamot dominate, the sage perhaps a bit stronger in the first moments. I becomes a smooth, arid, herbal wonder in the drydown while still retaining a breezy-cool, almost menthol freshness, with an interesting hint of earthy bitterness as well. I detect little vanilla or Tonka, but perhaps a slight dry earthiness from the tobacco blossom? To me there so many sensate juxtapositions here. It's almost confusing in it's transitions, in a very interesting way. This is certainly non-linear in it's development. It retains it's freshness even into the drydown. This definitely swings more masculine, and I am interested in seeing how I might layer this to girl it up a bit. Jacomo Anthracite perhaps? Having said that, I think a confident woman can wear this with ease. I know I will. As a woman who LOVES vetiver, I can say this far outshines Guerlain Vetiver, in my humble opinion. This lasts, and retains it's vetiver character, far longer. It also seems to be outperforming Chanel Sycomore, which although lovely, fades disappointingly quickly for the money spent. I haven't sampled TF Grey Vetiver, but will say I have experienced some disappointment in the TF fragrances in terms of longevity and projection. So far, I suspect Amouroud Lunar Vetiver will outperform TF Grey Vetiver, much as their Dark Orchid and Tiziana Terenzi's Maremma both outperform Black Orchid. It's a good idea done better by those with a concern for quality. I will be wearing this in the coming Summer months for sure. Nothing heavy or closed here, but a fresh, bitter, green openess that begs a linen sundress and bare shoulders.

Lovely, green, dry, cool, and fresh, as vetiver should be. Light, and not as grounded as some other vetivers, Encre Noire being one that comes to mind, as it has the fresh, dryness of vetiver, but the smoke grounds it nicely. I would call this more of a purist's vetiver. I would say this is the weakest of the Amoroud selections so far, and I've sampled most. I has better projection and longevity than Sycomore, in my experience, but Sycomore, while lovely and noteworthy, is a dissapointing lightweight in the version I have. Vetiver is tough when it comes to longevity, and this is no exception. I find Amoroud fragrances to be long-lasting and project well. They are, in point of fact, one of my fave houses, and I own several of their offerings, and have sampled all but a couple. I don't like to define frags by gender, but this is a very traditional male fragrance especially with the bergamot. I wear it and like it, but it's definitely something you would smell in frags traditionally marketed to men. Well-blended, dry woodiness in the dry-down. Opens moist, green, and verdant, but becomes a dry and arid experience as it matures. Not in a bad way, it's simply not a "juicy" green anymore. I would call this sporty and outdoorsy in feel, although I wouldn't be surprised to find it worn in any environment or for any occasion. I know some vetivers veer towards refined elegance, but in my experience this isn't one of them. It also has a Spring/Summer vibe, in my opinion, although the dry woodiness could carry over into Autumn. I think it would feel too light, cool, and fresh for a Winter scent. Love it, but always wish for more longevity with vetiver, and my dream is for someone to come along and re-create Lalique's Encre Noire for better performance and longevity. Shouldn't science be working on these important issues?

The opening is such a nice spicy herbal burst with bergamot. I knew id love it going forward. The pimento and pepper really gives it a nice kick. The initial drydown is lovely smoky vetiver with an herbaceous accord blending it nicely. There is a subtle herbal and floral sweetness that has a wet feeling. Its very nice. I am a massive vetiver and tobacco fan. Ive tried a lot of vetivers. This one is very nice and rounded. It doesnt have the green soapy herbaceous vibe of Guerlain and isnt too rooty or earthy like Sultan Vetiver or Encre Noire and its flankers. It has a warm spice to it like Vetiver Insolent but Vetiver Insolent feels more velvety soft and slighty powdery note due to Iris. Lunar Vetiver goes for a more "wet earth" spicy direction than Vetiver Insolent. Its velvety smooth as well. Id say this and Vetiver Insolent are the smoothest vetiver scents on the market. The sillage is great and longevity is hours on this! I really enjoyed this one and I think its so easy to switch to this one for warmer days. Great for the office due to the sweet roundness. Its not a powerhouse for winter, though it can still work. This is a perfect spring and summer vetiver. The wet/juicy vibe really makes it stand out as a wonderful warm weather choice for vetiver fanatics.

I have smelt sultan vetiver and grey vetiver, both pretty damn good imo. Sultan Vetiver was a tad bit overbearing and not something I could see myself wearing. Either way, I enjoy earthy and grassy scents with nuance of course and to my surprise, Lunar Vetiver came into my line of sight. It was a blind buy because why not? Got it for more than 50% off and I thought to myself not a big deal if i dont like it. A few days go by, I receive this bottle in the mail. Love the bottle and now time to smell the scent itself and at first I was taken back.. Logically it had to be the alcohol content that gave it such a powerful gasoline smell so i sprayed it from the neck about 5 more times and gave it a few days. Came back and wow... the earthy nuances mixed in with the spiciness and very slight sweetness due to the vanilla/tonka bean gives this such a manly and burley vibe. I got the bergamot throughout the whole entire scent too, a citrus just chillin in the background. If you're into vetiver and earthy scents then I would get this, performance wise this blows Grey Vetiver out of the water and just overall is better even its scent profile.

Love this scent, the notes are blending perfectly, and other than vetiver and tobacco blossom, it's kind of hard to pinpoint each note. Starting out bitter and a bit sour, I can totally imagine a cactus that smells like this. The pimento is there, but it's not spicy, feels like pimento that is freshly picked. And vetiver is clearly taking the center stage right from the initial burst. I don't know how to describe the vetiver, it's different than Terre d'Hermes, or Guerlain Vetiver, but it has the same vibe with ELDO Fat Electrician (I haven't tried out TF Grey Vetiver, shame on me). Smelling Lunar Vetiver, I can imagine myself eating the cactus, and as i bite the cactus pad, the vegetal smell comes out, along with the water. It is the same smell that I find when I try to break a plant with thick body (cactus, aloe vera, etc). Totally greenish, grayish, beautiful perfume. Great silage, projection and longevity, and quite affordable too.

I am a Vetiver lover and OMG this is hands down one of the best, if not the best, Vetiver fragrance I've ever put my nose on. Goes on with a bite that quickly settles into an absolute slice of heaven. To say it's an "olfactive dream" is understatement. This composition is absolutely gorgeous in every way. The perfumer Jerome Di Marino is a fragrant genius. The patchouli, pimento and pink peppercorn adds such warmth. Oooh man Im in love!!! I sprayed myself 4x this morning at around 9am & here it is 6:15pm & still going strong. I keep getting whiffs of myself throughout the day & received several compliments while on an elevator!! 3 different people getting on different floors made comments!! I'm definitely buying two bottles in case this goes away... I found my new favorite Vetiver based fragrance that will always be a staple in my collection.

Normally when there is a conversation around the quintessential mens vetiver fragrance, the argument is between two - Guerlain's Vetiver and Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver. In my most humble opinion, this should be included in that conversation. This is a beautiful and refined vetiver fragrance that opens richly and dries down to a refined mellow scent. I love the fact that although bergamot is a top note, even in the drydown you get a bit of citrus like it has seeped into the hay. The sweet notes like vanilla add just a tiny amount of creaminess - not enough to take away the signature dryness of the vetiver but just enough to tame its spikes. I'd already bought Grey Vetiver after smelling the Tom Ford and the Guerlain. Had I smelt this then, as much as I love Grey Vetiver, I'd have probably bought this. Slept on slept on slept on....

Lunar Vetiver is an outstanding fragrance. Imagine Tom Ford’s Grey pumped up on Barry Bonds’ level of steroids. This is a manly fragrance that uses Liam Neeson’s particular set of skills to deliver a throat punch to the mainstream popular sweet fragrances. You can expect this bad boy to smash open your olfactory senses with a citrusy and camphoric blast that transitions to a grassy vetiver. Its dry down settles into a tobacco and tonka based class act that lasts all day. If you want to smell like a boss you don’t have to look any further. This fragrance is Grey Vetiver’s better looking and more successful brother that will steal the girl.

This is a total banger. I layer it with Montale red vetiver or I wear it by itself. Projects for 2 hours then calms but is still very very present. Lasts 6-7 hours which is perfect for this ride. It's not linear but the supporting notes work to amplify the star of the show, which is Vetiver (smokey, medicinal, cactus-like, green, grassy). My only addition would be this could have used a little more citrus to round it out but it's still great as is. Buy a sample. 9/10 **Tried the new Tom Ford Grey Vetiver Parfum the other day and this blows that out of the water. Best in best-in-class vetiver right here.**

Citrus and Green Vetiver and have a hint of sweetness and spicy It's going to be a Fresh side but Really Intense because it's concentration is around 32% Longivity is a little bit weird it's last 5-6 hours and then vanish. but i smell it's again in the next morning (That i didn't shower last night LOL) that mean i maybe last over the night but i only get used to it and think it's vanish it's in the safe side can be office scent and can use in high temperature. really love it's

@NeroliCannoli You need to get your nose on the recent Vetiver Parfum from Guerlain if you're going to conduct a proper vetiver comparison. I also urge you to get your nose on Les Parfums Mythiques - Vetyver by Givenchy as well. I just received my bottle of Lunar Vetiver today and although I do like it, it's nothing particularly groundbreaking. I've just smelled way too many vetivers over the years.

third amoroud sample I tried after white hinoki and white stone, this one smells of aromatic herbal vetiver, yes it is similar to roja vetiver with a hint of citrus and dryness. if you like roja vetiver maybe this can be used as an alternative with a cheaper price, the silage and projection are pretty good. long life can last on my skin 8+ hours

Very similar to Grey Vetiver EDP. Smells great! I LOVE Grey Vetiver and this is just as good if not better! Though I think the TF bottle looks better... Just classic. Big Amouroud fan now. This is a Vetiver you can wear year round, dress it up or down, it's versatile and has good performance. 10/10

A copy of Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent. Lasts better than VI, but I prefer the latter as it's better blended and smoother. How on earth no one has suggested it?! The second people smell a hint of vetiver they think of either Tom Ford GV or Encre Noire lol; none of these smell like Lunar Vetiver!!

Had to get myself a second bottle, this and Sultan Vetiver are the only Vetiver forward scents you need. This is the prince of Vetiver 🤴 with Sultan Vetiver being the king. And for discounters pricing, you can’t go wrong. It’s bright, citrusy with a deep rooted sexy earthiness.

@eastport I appreciate the recommendations big dog, I’ve tried Vetiver parfum by guerlain and I don’t really like how sweet it is. But, I’ve never tried Les Parfums Mythiques - Vetyver by Givenchy so I’m gonna def give that a try. I always appreciate some good Vetiver recs. 🙏🏽

aaaaah vetiver, my favorite current note. sparkly gorgeous lemon, spices, vetiver and that medicinal opening. love it. this for strictly vetiver lovers in summer. not a beast but better performer than TF Grey vetiver, which is similar to this on drydown 9/10

Lunar Vetiver is what Grey Vetiver should have been. The Vetiver is similar but much better blended and more complex. Performance is top notch as well I get 9 hrs or so longevity, and it projects heavily the first 3 hrs. Overall 9.5 out of ten .

One of the best vetiver fragrances I know! In my opinion it ́s closer to Sycomore than Roja ́s Vetiver. The latter is smooth and velvety, this is in the raw side, although not harsh at all. Really really good!

Just got it today. First wear: Gorgeous!!! Yes, a bit reminiscent of TF Grey Vetiver, which i have but with deeper notes and also more EDP than EDT, that is, it lasts longer. Wonderful scent!
