Citiver

Like this fragrance a lot, doesn't get much coverage online generally but I saw a review for this on youtube and liked the sound of the note breakdown as I was looking for a new fresh green fragrance for my Spring rotation this year and got it as a blind buy direct from the website. I was not disappointed at all and very pleased I bought it. It reminded me of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver for basic comparison. I hav'nt had grey vetiver in my fragrance rotation since 2011 and no longer have it to do a side by side comparison now but in my memory it smelled very much like it. On my skin grey vetiver did not perform well at all and remained a skin scent from 30 minutes wear onwards but I always loved the smell of it and wished that it had moderate to great projection. Citiver however pulled this off for me and gave me the fragrance of how I recalled grey vetiver but with good projection on my skin. I got the fresh citrus that I was looking for but subdued by a fresh wearable vetiver note making it perfect for spring and I could imagine good for summer. I could also detect violet with the citrus and vetiver which for me was a winning combination. The violet component reminded me of that in Dsquared rocky mountain wood which again is one of my springtime favourites that I didn't get to purchase this year. It got compliments and people asked me what I was wearing and liked it. All in all projection and longevity varies greatly from person to person depending on skin chemistry but this delivered for me and I will keep this as a springtime day fragrance and would recommend to give it a try.

Dueto's modus operandi seems to be to tweak existing bestsellers and I for one dont have a problem with it. If Golden Boy was Tuscan Leather for a younger crowd, then Citiver is Grey Vetiver with an urban twist, a Citrus vetiver for the urban grind without being too stuffy or formal. If Grey vetiver is suit and tie, Citiver is khakis and a white linen shirt. It's a good clean light vetiver with citrus and woods and it's not heavy on the Iso E Super like Grey Vetiver or Encre Noir Sport. This had become my favorite summer frag. I love GV and EN sport as well but this has a playfulness to it that puts a smile on my face. Good projection and excellent 7-8 hours longevity as well. And considering that for a niche fragrance, it's very reasonably priced, this checks all my boxes. If vetiver frags interest you, Citiver is a goodie and totally worth checking out. Love it.8.5/10

Excellent vetiver fragrance if you can find it discounted. I got mine at 27$ /100ml. Opens with some citruses then evolves into woody clean vetiver. Not high quality if you compare it to Tom ford grey vetiver but it is decent enough and has excellent longevity. I received many complements with it. Very safe and pleasant scent.

One of the better vetiver Scents I have come across lately. Came in a sample pack when I bought golden boy. Golden boy and this are the only full Bottles I will have in my collection. Scent9/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 7/10 Overall 8.5/10

I love this fragrance. One of my favorites, definitely a spring summer fragrance. A very clean vetiver along the same line of original vetiver, they don't smell alike but I get the same clean vetiver feel from them both.
