Bois de Vetiver

I bought this perfume at the beginning of its production in 2017, and I still own the same bottle. The perfume opens with wonderful citruses of orange and grapefruit, refreshing and light, and its heart sparkles with vetiver, with splashes of beautiful rose and a touch of mint, and the conclusion is with a creamy scent. The combination of citrus, rose, vetiver and mint is not found in any other fragrance, and also base notes here I can't distinguish anything from them, but I smell all of them only creamy. The components of the perfume are few and simple, like the case of modern perfumes. The vetiver does not overpower the rest of the ingredients, and it is not dark or earthy, but rather a bright and clean vetiver. The perfume is generally well mixed and balanced. Our beautiful and captivating perfume has its own special and distinctive character, its smell is pure and not synthetic or chemical, soft, gentle, comfortable, calming mood, completely safe, very smooth, easy to wear. It can be worn by all ages, especially after 25 years, it is a great choice as a gift for anyone. The scent is for spring and summer, in daylight hours, with casual clothes, the best place for it is the office, and also as a daily perfume.Can make it a signature scent . The perfume stays on the skin for more than seven hours, but it remains close to the skin, it sillage and projection weak, so it is a good choice for doctors or teachers, and similar professions.

I am wearing this right now. It has got a really soft sexy sensual scent - not unlike this arousing scent you smell just before having an intimate relation - an intimate scent. I just love this one. Well done Mr. Christophe Raynaud. There are some chords of `Y` from Yves Saint Laurent for women somewhere in there... Maybe it is the fine touch of patchouli. The only negative thing I can say is that I believe that the longevity and projection is not long. I hope that this scent will be around forever and that KL will make a Bois Vètiver Eau de Parfume pour Homme that lasts longer than the Eau de Toilette. Update - bought another 100ml bottle KLBDV - just to be sure i will not run out. Update nr. 2 I have just bought Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir for Him (NRBN) and to me it is very much like KLBDV though NRBN is more potent and smokey. I love`em both.

It's amazing how time and experience can change your taste in scent. When I initially bought this after watching a few reviews and it finally arrived at the local Australian discounters, I honestly thought it was a generic, nice, somewhat sweet and clean fresh smell, but it was nothing special. I was ready to sell it and even listed it on ebay, but nobody purchased it, so it sit in my wardrobe for about 1.5+ years. Recently I dug it out of my wardrobe and tried it on again and I decided I like it a lot. I don't know if my nose is getting better (or less picky), or if letting it sit in my wardrobe for a long time changes its chemistry, but this definitely smells better than what I remember. It is a great choice for warm day and 100% office friendly. Weak longevity though, so I have to overspray.

This is a great inexpensive find for the summer. It opens with a lot of citrus and dries to a clean vetiver base. Overall it holds to my skin well with 5 hours of performance and will even project freshness for a good 3-5 hours. This is not an earthy vetiver, so it is safe for most environments and won't be too challenging for those around. My one issue would be that it leans to the feminine side, but this could be a result of my wife's aromatherapy scents that carry a similar vetiver profile. In short this is not a manly man form of vetiver, but a great summer fresh take that I would reach for in favour of aquatic scents. This is not something you will smell on many people, so you will hold some individuality when you wear it. At the price you really can't go wrong.

I never believed there could be a Karl Lagerfeld this good. Its cheap and quality, and what more could you really want? You will get a huge blast of citruses after application. Juicy and almost edible smelling, total shocker with the price point. Of course you are going to smell good and fresh from the vetiver being in every stage of this fragrance. The base is a nice fresh rose mixed with some musk and you guessed it more veitver. The rose comes across as masculine. This could smell a bit mature to some, but I think anyone over 25 should have no issue pulling it off. Longevity is great, around 6-8 hours. For a freshy, that ain't bad!! It has very soft projection though. The first hour will get you showered in compliments, then its a skin scent. I love it!
