Vétiver Nocturne Absolu

Magical. A slightly bit of oudy skank and confusion in the short-lived opening. Then, an abstract and juicy fruity-floral note shines and slowly fades out, leading to the main floral accord. Blooming powdery champaca and orange blossom, beautifully light jasmine, and maybe tuberose floating over a base of bright, green, citrusy yet grounded vetiver and a soft, mossy, woody muskiness. Remarkably smooth. Of all the vetiver-focused fragrances I've smelled, Vetiver Nocturne is my favourite so far. Simply exquisite!

A smooth silky fragrance. The opening is strong, reminds me of marker scent plus a sweet, green banana peel. It softens up quickly allowing the white florals to shine-on in a full bloom sweet way. The Champaca is the star! The gorgeous Vetiver is always present, it feels earthy, cool and wet! Wearable IMO, close to moderate sillage.

Make no mistake. This is heavy on a lovely dense and distinct minty vetiver. A lot of flowers on top of that with champacha the star. Will not replace Sultan Vetiver for me but a good alternative if you want a lot of flowers instead of anise...

It took two days to wrap my nose around this . It’s neroli and jasmine done in a masculine way and when that starts drying down it is very good quality natural ambergris with oak moss sandalwood etc

Fantastic! The champaca shines and is excellently blended. I love it!
