The Collection Elegant Vetiver

Elegant Vetiver. Quite poorly done. This Elegant Vetiver don't know uses what Vetiver (Haitian and Java oil listed) but it's not the type of Vetiver I'm used to...not the Guerlian traditional type, also not the Tom Ford grey type nor the Encre Noire dark earthy type or some heavy strong java Vetiver type. It opens with a blast of heavy and fresh juniper berries, green and fresh but still feel synthetic in a way to me, maybe that's Boss way of seeing such an opening as Elegant opening or how they define the word Elegant the heavy dominant juniper berry. Perhaps the Pistachio note here contributes to such an Elegant opening but I don't get the nuttiness, green yes but amateurish and young, not mature. I own and have used 4 Boss Collection so far and this ranks last or second last. Also somehow I am getting an idea or smells a certain aroma chemical note that this Boss Collection Line is using in all my 4 bottles, one that helps in the projection and the opening of each scent. Elegant Vetiver is kinda linear scent as it develops into a rounder heart but still isn't as quality or better than some other Vetiver scents for me. It somehow stays that way till the drydown....Does not fit the higher quality higher range Line for a good designer brand, at least for This EV. Tries too hard to be Elegant but nothing too elegant about it.

I’ve always had a deep appreciation for vetiver and have explored many of its different interpretations, but Elegant Vetiver is a complete game-changer. I used to think vetiver was all about those earthy, herbal, and woody vibes (perhaps with a touch of green or milky facets at most) but this scent is the first to show me how truly refined and sophisticated this root can be. It’s truly elegance in a bottle! The performance is spot on. It projects perfectly for the first few hours with a fresh, green, and graceful presence, without ever being too 'loud.' The longevity is solid, staying well above average before it eventually fades into a warm, lingering labdanum skin scent. On a side note, you HAVE to see the bottle when it bathes in the sunrise or sunset light. WOW. That’s when you realize the 'elegance' isn’t just in the juice, but the entire aesthetic. Seriously, Boss... just take my money already! 💸💸💸✨

I had a friend bring back a bottle from Paris, as evidently this is not sold in the USA. At over €200 for 100 ml., I was a bit nervous about a "blind buy" but am very pleased with the fragrance. The name "Elegant Vetiver" is apt: bold vetiver, woodsy and earthy (Haitian plus Javan vetiver equals great combination). This strikes me as a special occasion, evening, and cooler weather choice, though I have worn it to work occasionally and received compliments. The top note has a blast of pistachio that is nutty and woody without being sweet. The middle note has lasting power and the cashmeran is unmistakable to my nose. There is a lasting ambery drydown. Unlike with so many other fragrances, one spritz is enough, and I imagine multiple sprays would be overpowering.

I recently purchased this perfume at Zurich Airport while haven’t heard about it before! The scent opens with a distinct note of vetiver, although I couldn't detect any pistachio. For me, the prominence of vetiver is key, and it truly shines in this fragrance. Some might consider it overpriced for a Boss label, question paying a premium for it and preferring to invest in more luxurious brands. I think that this will only enhances its exclusivity, since less people will buy it! The fragrance itself is captivating, it projects moderately and has a normal longevity, dancing on my skin for about six hours. I think is suitable for colder days than a hot summer but its not overwhelmingly warm.

I now have nearing 200 different fragrances, and nothing else smells like this. The pistachio in the opening is such a surprise every time, and this, along with the cashmeran, smoothes out the vetiver on the dry down to maintain a perfect level of balance and refinement. The projection is modest, but this is a fragrance that you hope catches the right person's attention so they lean in closer. I feel it's appropriate throughout the year for the right occassion, though it might not be one to wear all the time as one might grow tired of it, since it is such an attention grabber... but certainly in a good way every once in awhile.

Did spray this on at the DXB duty free on my way back, and kept sniffing my wrist all throughout the flight. Kinda regret not having bought it, but then again, not sure if I'd get much use out of it. It's a very smooth, velvety vetiver, as the name suggests, and I'd say would fit best in a smart casual situation, rather than a black-tie event. Lasts VERY long: was still faintly lingering on me after a 16-hour flight and I assume would project like a beast if worn properly. Best for fall or spring wear in my opinion.

People talk about Boss Absolu, Elixir, and Triumph Elixir, and they're good, especially the last two. However, those who know, know. This one and a couple of others from the Collection collection have better quality, performance, and scent profile than all these three hyped ones. Elegant Vetiver is one of them. This is a beast in terms of longevity, and the quality is incredible. I will talk about its scent profile in another review...suffice to say, it's an amazing all year round scent.

This was the only perfume that had me go back to the Boss shop and buy it, after 5 days of thinking about it every day. It's the kind of perfume that you'd wear with an elegant outfit, on an expensive date night or even a late business drink. For me it's one of the few perfumes that I can still smell at home at the end of the evening. So far it's my absolute favorite from a collection of around 50 perfumes.

Finally got my nose on this fragrance and I am really happy with this purchase. Good deals on line for 100 ml bottles in the US. From the start I get a smokey vetiver and strong juniper berry with an underlying hint of something that I am not sure of. It is rather linear to my nose. I am really big fan of Vetiver and although not my fave in my collection, it is worth every penny. Enjoy!

Harika bir vetiver. Boss daha önce de özel seri çıkarmıştı ama son derece başarısız bir seri idi. Ancak bu yeni seri oldukça başarılı. Özellik vetiver harika olmuş. Bugüne kadar kokladigim en iyi vetiver parfumlerden olduğunu söylemeliyim. Taze ve olgun bir havası var. Ayni zamanda modern ve güçlü. Piyasadaki birçok vetiver parfümününden açık ara daha iyi.

Very unique and super elegant! Decent performance that won’t disappoint. The opening is a beautiful mix of pistachio and vetiver that I want to last forever but in about an hour it turns into something woody, a little earthy, fresh and slightly sweet very, very elegant! Wear it anytime of the year at night I’d say.

It’s a beautiful fragrance. Very luxe scent!! It’s a very earthy, nutty kind of Vetiver that true diehard Vetiver fans will enjoy. Me, I love it!! It’s pretty pricey though, I have a bottle of something slightly similar, Bentley’s Wild Vetiver. Gonna have to save up for this Elegant Vetiver, it’s over USD 250.

Just put it on this morning on the way to work: A very pleasant surprise! This is different from most common perfumes out there. Unique and sophisticated. Not too heavy and not too light, just perfect. Classy and pleasent.

Vetiver at it's best. Elegant is a suitable name. This collection offers high quality fragrances. I have Noble Wood, Vigorous Cologne, Elegant Vetiver. All of them are stunning. Magnetic Musc is my next target.

the guy working at the largets perfume shop where i live, has thos Boss scent as his signature scent. Interesting this shop has 200 fragrances he could choose from ( Creed,Memo,Amouage etc etc you name it)

A salty vetiver, not to dry, very nice. Imagine Chanel Sycomore and Byredo Bal d'Afrique had a baby. Excellent quality, good performance and the scent is 10/10.

Out of my 83 fragrances this one of most appreciated for how simple, calming and beautifully sexy of a scent. Creamy, wood and clean that lasts all day.

Classy, clean and sophisticated. Safe to be used at any occasion. I guess it’s the best of the whole collection. Thumb up

This is one of the best vetivers out there bar none.

this is amazing if anyone has a decant lmk
