Vetiver

I reviewed this a little over a year ago. You can read that below. I add this review to let anyone poking around here know *this stuff changes over time*. Specifically, the citrus top note becomes much juicier and the longevity improves. IOW, it gets better with a little age on it. I think it also smoothed out a touch as well. I should also add, it seems to me that many of the negative reviews here would be equally critical of the TF inspiration. Which, whatever. The profile's not to everyone's taste. That said, I have dozens of clones, and between me and the wife over 100 bottles. I've worn the OG. This is a top five clone, no question.

Shockingly close to Grey Vetiver--but only after the openings. The open here is harsh. In the drydown it lacks just a tiny bit of the depth and sophistication of GV, but I notice this difference only when I get up close and really pay attention. So--for something like 97% of the time this fragrance is present on one's skin--it smells almost exactly like Grey Vetiver. Certainly in the air they're indistinguishable. Impressive.

Really lovely and long lasting smooth vetiver juice. You can't get better value than this. I just love it.

Fantastic for that price. Nice quality bottle with good automizer (my bottle is elongated and angular).

I own both Just Jack Vetiver and TF Grey Vetiver. Just Jack Vetiver is a good fragrance but a poor impression of Grey Vetiver. Grey Vetiver is quite dry and earthy. Just Jack Vetiver has a very prominent citrus + citrus flower opening that lasts all through the lifespan of the fragrance. It reminds me of a lemon/citrus-flavored drink. It is very refreshing. Excellent for hot weather but quite one-dimensional. Good longevity (can still smell it on my shirt 8+hrs later and good projection for the 1st 1.5hrs. Not bad for a cheap summer pickup but if you buy this one expecting Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, you will be disappointed.
