Vetyverio Eau De Parfum

This is one of my husband's current summer favorites since we bought it in Diptyque's Boutique in Berlin in spring. As I'm not wearing it myself (yet) I'm not really able to tell in detail how it develops or blooms over time. On my husband, however, it's one of the most crisp and clean vetiver scents I've ever smelled. There's no earthiness, nothing dirty or deep, it's just ultra clean and crisp and I love it. Projection is insane. In European spring weather I could smell it on him all throughout the day no matter if he was standing next to me waiting at a traffic light or if he was several meters away from me looking at something in a shop. Seriously, it's almost felt as if he had tiny fans constantly blasting the scent into his surroundings. Or picture a bunch of cartoon citrus fruits tossing bundles of fresh pure vetiver right at your face. Back at home in hot humid Mumbai it was a bit muted down but still definitely there. Let's say instead of tossing bundles of fresh vetiver in your face now the cartoon citrus fruits keep lifting a basket of it gingerly up to your nose every once in a while throughout the day. As for longevity there is also nothing to complain about. I can easily smell it on my husband still the following morning after he wore it. Again, we're talking about a day in the humid heat with lots of sweating. Unless you take a proper shower it will stay with you. For now it is kind of his signature this summer, so I myself haven't reached for it yet. But then some days I don't even have to, cause if I give him a hug within half an hour of him applying it I will also smell of it for a good chunk of the day. In short, wonderful fresh and clean interpretation of vetiver. Great quality juice with amazing sillage and longevity.

Vetiver can have many facets, depending of which part of plant is used and the method of ecxtraction. The origin of the plant also has its impact, but in a more limited manner compared to the first two factors. Vetiver centered fragrance can thus be divided in 3 major categories: green/bright and leafy, fresh grassy green and rooty/earthy/nutty hay-ish yellow/grey. This one is definitely part of the 3rd category, like for example Encre Noire, Fat Electrician, Etro, Malle and Givenchy. That said, of all the ones I just cited, this one is my favourite. It is quite linear, simple, but made to perfection and very close to pure vetiver oil extracted from the roots. It is strong but not as strong as Etros', it is elegant but not as formal as Givenchy's, it is hay-ish/brown, but without leaning on the earthy side like Encre Noire, thanks to a subtle fresh rose note that rounds the edges and keeps the blend nearly unisex. The grapefruit is noticeable in the opening, then keeps a hint of freshness in the blend without being invasive (unlike the sharp rough citruses in Grey Vetiver). I don't get the patchouli, but for sure it plays a role, together with the rose. A masterpiece that I love and that vetiver lovers cannot miss, although I wish it performed a bit better given its high price point. Spring/Fall days, 30+ Edit: I now get a great performance: 2 hours good projection, another 4-5 hours of moderate projection, and another 18-20 hours (!!) as a noticeable skin scent. Good job Dyptique!

Vetyverio Eau De Parfum (Full bottle 75 ml.) Today, It is slightly cloudy so I wear VetyVerio. It eventually rains. VetyVerio opening is very tight. That prominent Fruity Citrus tone. With strong Earthy note, I don't enjoy the opening. However, when the scent release its Earthiness opening. There was a 2-3 hours that scent smells beautiful to my nose. It is soft Rosy, Vetiver centric fragrance along with lightness from Citrus. I think, charm of VetyVerio is how Citrus significant lighten the vetiver. Somehow, I think of wall of thorns and vines and sleeping beauty castle. My local perfumer suggest that Citrus, goes along well with Vetiver. It ground the citrus quality to be long lasting. I think this true, I still softly sniff the fruit. But it can smell like Lemongrass too, but in this it was mauve to soft rosy hue. Resulting in soft fruity rose and earthy vetiver. The scent soften to ambient of fruity, amboxan, vetiver around 5 hours post wear. And all the rose is almost gone, but it leaves very clean and nice skinscent. This is not overly dirty, I have sniff way too earthy vetiver (Vetiver Java, Perris Monte). But retains the beauty of natural vetiver. I think this is very properly done natural vetiver fragrance. 9/10

This is a salient point in case of how it’s better to apply fragrance on skin to get a rounded experience of it. From the atomizer is good, from a blotter’s good, but those aspects only allow you to experience a facet of a fragrance. So, i say that to say: when i first purchased this (2018) i did so only after having worn it via a sample from Diptyque. I couldn’t get enough of the stuff. However, after having purchased it, i seldomly reached for it. Big reason being: i decide my sotd by sniffing the atomizer. Hence, my point. Whenever i do wear this, i almost always kick myself for not using it more because it SMELLS SO GOOD on skin. Via atomizer it smells slightly dirty and kinda weird. This is indeed unique. Done in a way only Diptyque can construct. The smell like section, in typical fashion—at least of the ones I’ve smelled—is straight cap. The only tie between them being a prominent vetiver note. Anyways: unisex-male, any age above 20, casual, daytime, transitional weather and office appropriate... Good stuff. NOTE: I’m going to stand on there being iris in this. Most notably in the drydown. Does anyone else get that??

My Nose: Notes are vetiver, vetiver and more vetiver! Any other notes here are quickly forgotten. For me, it’s dry and earthy. Maybe the soil is slightly humid. But it’s neither smoky nor damp. Versatile, and I could imagine this being a base upon which to layer, if one chooses to do so. As a lady, I love it, but I could see where some could perceive it to be more masculine targeted. Unique: I love this when I get the itch for vetiver, but don’t feel like the usual mix of V with lively citrus and/or ginger, or even the more complex Sycamore (which I love too, obvi!). This is a rooty vetiver, straight up, no chaser. I like this simplistic, minimalist composition. Linear, but certainly not boring. Seasonally versatile: The lack of citrus makes this a year-rounder, rain or shine. Not sure about extreme cold, but it may very well work for that, too. Performance: Goldilocks, for me. Longevity is fantastic, thus making this a great value! Projection can be moderated by sprays. If you want something soft, may only need one. Value: The value matches Dyptique price. Very worthy. Two thumbs up.

Been sitting on a decant of this I got in trade for months. Finally sprayed myself yesterday and man was I blindsided!! This has to be the best vetiver I've ever smelled in my life. All this time I was sitting on a secret gem & didn't even know it! All day I couldn't stop getting whiffs off my hand. I couldn't stop smelling myself... Oh so heavenly!! The rose compliments this composition in a way I couldn't describe if I tried. It's a perfect blend of Rose, vetiver, Mandarin, patchouli & grapefruit. So smooth & refreshing that I couldn't help but think, Tom Ford grey what? For the first time in my life, after wearing this for an hour, I immediately bought a full bottle cause this will always be a staple in my collection. On my skin this lasted the entire day into the next morning. Projection is a good 4 feet for about 6 hours then it sits closer to the skin but the scent just doesn't go away until you wash it off. Well worth a full bottle purchase & if you like vetiver frags, GET YOUR NOSE ON THIS ONE ASAP!!

I am a fan of vetiver. I do like when it is fresher. I do find this one has similarities to Lalique Encre Noire, but I could not find myself loving Encre Noire. It was too muddy for me. Vetyverio EDP is slightly fresher with its opening and minimal notes. I had a sample awhile back and I did not love it right away. It took me a few times wearing it in the warmer weather to get it. It grew on me. It's not a universal love but there is a distinct yet gentle vetiver that I like. It's not as fresh as Tom Ford Grey Vetiver or citrus-y as Hermes Terre d'Hermes, but the heavy douse of Haitian Vetiver is calming and sweet without being cloying. I finally bought a bottle for this summer. However, I am finding that the sillage are poorer now than in my sample. Not sure why. I get really good performance and sillage on my L'Ombre Dans L'Eau EDP. I still like Vetyverio EDP but will need spray more and wear it in autumn than summer.

This is Diptyque's "clean" rose scent. I definitely get the citrus and the vetiver, but rose is the star here. Thankfully I really enjoy the way Diptyque does rose so I am not at all mad about the rose-forward nature of this, but I can see folks who expected more vetiver being disappointed. Eau Rose in both EDT and EDP is a bright pink, freshly picked rose out of a dewy garden on a lovely spring morning, and Eau Capitale is a sensuous, earthly rose chypre that calls to mind both mystery and sophistication. Vetyverio is an almost sporty rose supported by a lovely dose of vetiver and citrus, good for brisk mornings or a subtle office scent; it is more subdued, I think, than the other two rose powerhouses from the brand. That said, I do really enjoy the fragrance, but beware--this is a rose scent, in spite of the name, so for most folks it will lean feminine.

The opening is really juicy and sharp, it's a nice grapefruit, however more sour unlike the grapefruit in Bleu de Chanel. Then theres an ominous and lingering tone of earth and woods from the vetiver. It's extremely herbal, so mysterious. I'm not a big fan of vetiver but I actually really like this theres something so unusual about it. I layered this with some Santal 33 and it smells heavenly. The rose is the binder, it's less of a sweet rose and more of a natural damp rose smell, something you'd get after rain. I think it could project a bit better, however I'm pretty sure vetiver just behaves this way naturally so there isn't much to do about that. Overall a worthy scent, great for the summer and fall.

There is definitely a time and a place to spray this on you. It's so weird and ambivalent... Spray it during the day. The heat and breeze of the morning or afternoon waft the sharpness off the skin and leave a nice, woody, aromatic scent bubble around you. It transforms into something refreshing within the heat of the sun. Spray it during the night... and it's not that pleasant. It reminds me of peanuts, and it causes my acid reflux to go crazy. Heart burn central, and more stressful than refreshing... I don't get it. But, as long as I don't use it once the sun has set, I feel like it's good! Great, even.

I got a sample from a friend of the edT and truly fell in love. I decided to buy the edP in hope for better longevity, because Diptyque’s eau de toilettes have infuriatingly bad longevity. I don’t know about the other ones, but this have more or less the same, poor longevity as the edT has. I love it but could have save a lot of money buying the edT instead. It is one of the best vetiver perfumes out there though. It’s quite linear, but in the best possible way. The vetiver, enhanced by the citrus notes smells truly sexy. A little smoky, green and woody at the same time.

There is something about this fragrance that's very comforting. It reminds me so much of how top soil smells in the Pacific Northwest that sometimes I can't differentiate what I'm actually smelling in the perfume and things my memory is adding. It's a little sweet and a little dirty, like something you would smell outside, but I think that's what makes it refreshing to me. Unfortunately, my mom loves this fragrance, too, and steals it when she thinks her clothes smell bad 😭

This new edp concentration is fantastic! I prefer it over the eau de toilette. Starts with fresh, green, citrusy and a bit harsh vetiver which I love. Then it follows a wooden path and becomes quiet for a while to suddenly enchant you with a warm, cozy and sophisticated base composed of rose, patchouli and vetiver. Hats off for this new concoction, Diptyque!

Blind buy, my first niche fragrance and beginning of love with Diptyque. Beautiful vetiver and definitely my favorite. Unisex, slightly more masculine than EDT. Earthy, but not dirty. Complimented by citruses that make it brighter. I ended up sharing the bottle with my partner since it works amazing with his skin, but I really enjoy wearing it also.

I really love this version! It is a modern, floral, woodsy vetiver that is blended beautifully with a juicy citrus that has just a brilliant hint of bitterness on the finish. The type that keeps you going back to the wrist. If you've ever chewed on a rose petal, you know the bitter I mean. This may sound strange, but it plays great on the skin.

This is a perfume for all genders, all seasons and all locations. Perfectly fine for office and going out, perfectly fine for summer and winter. Also, you can show everyone that you are wearing something more niche. Highly recommend getting this one. It only gets outperformed by perfumes, which are made for a specific season or event.

I love this one.. particularly in spring/summer months. Ignoring the listed notes, to me the opening spray smells herbal and it's actually the bit I enjoy the most. For the first hour or so I get a moderate sillage but it then becomes a beautiful, clean and light skin scent. Perfect for warm days.

This is a great frag. Vetiver + Rose combo smells exquisite. Rose is not a prominent but the blend is beautiful. Very versatile and can be worn all year round. Love it ❤️

This has really grown on me. Long-lasting, civilised and outstanding quality materials. The smoothness of Haitian vetiver is here in all its magnificence. I am in love

It smells pure vetiver with touch of woody notes and fresh, uplifting citrues opening. If you vetiver lover, you must try Vetyverio. Amazing!
