Vetiver Root Green Tea Cedarwood

I absolutely love this fragrance. I had LNDL, but won't get new batches as they are trying to rob you, with what they as for something that don't last 2hours. this one here however is small gem. at least on my skin. I was in Greece and I got 10 sets of this with shower gel. Paid 9.99 for each. Let me tell you Korres really has gr8 fragrances and they smell really nice. For me it is better then LNDL. Why? Well first off all you get earl grey opening, with tea and bergamot and I love it. Cardamom on my skin just comes from time to time, but mainly gives this a warmth feeling in the opening to counter the dry feeling from earl grey tea. So opening is dry earl grey with warm aroma of cardamom. After about 30 minutes you start to feel like this is going towards more warm scent. Cardamom becomes dominant for while, just to give the priority to lavender with resin like woody aroma. It starts to go into soapy direction. Try to imagine pine, bitter sap like aroma with creamy lavender used in candles or lotions. After a while vetiver with oakmoss bring earthy wood feeling, but scent stays kind of sweet. Not cloying sweet like with other tonka bean dominant frags. This is musky type of sweetness, or creamy sweetness. If you ever drink fresh cream you know what I am talking about. Very smooth, non offensive. It creates like soapy bubble around you. Soft lavender soap with strong, woody aroma but earthy and soft at the same time. There is no musk here but I can definitely pick it up. LNDL is more spicy and dry. Woods in there is more like pine needles and bark maybe rather than sap/resin. This one here is much more woody then spicy and much more warm and musky, enveloping scent. My GF loves this and I also received some attention from people in the office. What's also beautiful is that it is very versatile. You can wear it whole year around and both day and evening. This is masculine scent. Not unisex at all. It gives shaving cream/soap vibe through it, so unless your woman shaves the beard is not feminine leaning at all. It performs on me really well. I am getting 4-6 hours longevity and projection up to 8 hours, but after 2-3 hours is really close. And my nose is not getting blind to it. I will no longer get any LNDL, but if I will see this in any store I will grab it and you should to. you can quite often see Korres frags and sets in TK Maxx in UK/Europe.

Nice one Korres! Although I find it hard to match the notes I smell to the pyramid breakdown, VRGTCW opens with a nice warm and cardamom spicy note refreshed by a very subtle tangy citrus undertone that makes it very appealing. While I don't smell tea as in the common tea dried tea leaf smell, I think it contributes to some slight herbal bitterness that makes the opening a bit more mature than your average EdT. Most of the notes I smell actually come up front quite quickly and the scent is fairly linear, maybe because of the high percentage of naturals used here. The scent is refined and rich, very creamy as others have noted, with some controlled green and grassy facets that mitigate the sweetness of the base, which becomes just very slightly powdery in the long run. What I really like, thought, is the sexy, mysterious and mystic vibes it gives off - definitely oriental in that. I never smelled the original LNDL, so cannot make comparisons here - I'm still a scent explorer! - but if this is what is smells like, I know why it is so much loved in the community. Copy or not, VRGTCW is, for me, an excellent scent, that only lacks a bit in projection for those who care about that, but supplement with a nice longevity (if you like perfumes that sit closer to your skin, that is). It looks like people around me love it too, and that's a bonus :) The marketing and package is rather unique - it really pushes the idea of recycling, natural ingredients, environmental friendliness, eco-sustainability - and I like that, including the bottle, though the cap should burn in hell and be replaced by a nicer wooden one. Definitely a love, so happy to have bought this one. I'm tempted to buy a back-up bottle, as I cannot see it listed on the Greek Korres website anymore, although it is still available online. My bottle's batch code is 04084.

While I am not a fan of all of Korres' fragrances, this one is definitely my favorite. I have worn it in cool/cold weather and in warm, and I find it comforting, lovely, earthy, a tad spicey but not cloying. I agree with the reviews below that while this -- and most Korres fragrances -- don't project much, I find this does have a certain longevity, on the skin at least, and for the price it really is a great fragrance. I am not one to spend a lot of time trying to decide what fragrance reminds me of another, but after trying a sample of "Plum in Cognac" from Scents of Wood ($$$), I was surprised how much its dry-down reminded me of Korres Vetiver Root. Of course, the opening of PiC was far different, a fireworks of booze and fruit, but that doesn't last and the vetiver comes out and lasts just like the Korres.

Çay , Vetiver ve Tonka nin oldukça başarılı bir karışımı. Marka doğal malzemeler kullandığını söylüyor. Bunu anlayacak bir uzmanligim yok ancak yumuşak bir yapısı var. Bazı parfümlerde bariz şekilde fark edilen "kimyasal" kokusu yok. Vetiver sanırım tonka ve çay sayesinde oldukça yumuşak burada şekerli havaya bürünmüş. Kesinlikle çok keyifli bir parfüm. Kalıcılığı güçlü değil ama ilk bir saat içinde kendisini fark ettiriyor. Plaj dışında her yerde ve her zaman kullanılabilir. Markanın diğer ürünlerini de en kısa zamanda edinmeye çalışacağım. Yunanistan gümrüklerinde bulunuyor. Fiyatı makul ve keyifli.

Very exciting cologne for men. Love it on my hubby. Refreshing, erotic and intriguing. The scent feels like it ́s "flowing" not static. Like the fact that it is of 90% natural ingredients not many chemicals and not tested on poor animals. Of course longevity suffers due to this fact but I don ́t mind chasing the husband with the bottle around the house and before we go out...hehe Give it a few try ́s before making your personal decision on this one.

Love this juice! This is LNDL’s twin brother that is more chill, calm & relaxed. It’s warm, creamy & cozy with a bit of a green, earthy feel to it. If you want a cheaper alternative to LNDL this is it. Performance is very good. It lasts an entire work day for me & lingers around as you move but projects softly. It’s perfect for me & definitely signature scent worthy. 10/10

Wow this is a really nice fragrance. Opening is very very similar to La Nuit de l'Homme. Dry down is like 80% like LNDL but less spicy and a little earthiness from the lavender and oakmoss. Longevity way better than the new batches of LNDL. Absolute stunner, great quality and fabulous price.

If you want a cheap alternative of La Nuit De L'Homme, don't look any further. The opening is more masculine for me at least than LNDL, but the drydown is identical (80%). I bought this with the shower gel 32 euro. Is a cheapie so you can go heavy with the trigger, and you will need to go heavy because the projection is not the best. The longevity on my skin is 4 hours. Overall a nice cheap fragrance.

Deep, dark, warm and earthy, with quite a mature vibe. I’d suggest it leans more to the traditionally masculine side, although I believe all fragrances are unisex. I find the combination of green tea, vetiver and cedar invoke a wonderfully calm, focused and grounded feeling. I bought this for my father and it is his favourite fragrance ever. Very affordable and (possibly for this reason) underrated.

Very nice frag that suffers from limited projection (although longevity is good 6-7hrs). It sits close to the skin. As many have already mentioned it does reminder YSLN and it does perform better than 2022 or newer YSLN batches. I think it works best in 20-300C and on sunny days.

excellent vetiver, easy to wear, just a little sweetness with the cedar. easily wearable by women, especially in summer. (no rose note at all, the first review must have been for rosewood by korres)

Earthy aromatic goodness! Reminds me a allot of Bond No 9 "The Scent of Peace for Him" without the hefty price tag. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for a pleasant vetiver scent.

Sense of cleanliness in the skin. Distinct components of the aroma.

There's something so creamy along with the vetiver that just makes me melt. Utterly yummy, utterly unisex.

Hm... I have to agree with @patxaran review below, not the 'vetiver-bomb' I was hoping for, considering Korres makes strong and powerful juices (being really pleased with their Black Pepper). Too sweet and 'ordinary' smelling to me, no pronounced vetiver or woody at all. A nay from me after the yay for the Black Pepper...

I am kind of disappointed with this one. Perhaps I am spoilt by Encre Noire, Guerlain Vetiver etc. but this Korres fragrance doesn't do it for me. It has a sporty, aromatic aftershave or deodorant vibe about it (almost a bit of a sweet/warm undertone) which reminds me of those fashionable young guy fragrances. I much prefer Saffron Amber Cardamom which I find way more suitable as a unisex scent. (Note: This fragrance is not marked as unisex it was me who wanted to use it - should have believed the critical reviews below.) As for longevity and sillage, I don't think this korres is as bad as their general reputation. I will continue to sniff my way through Korres as I love most of their products, just this scent isn't right for me...

Beautiful perfume! It brings in mind some great masculines from the past, but mostly it reminds me of Shisheido's Basala minus the dry side. Deeply masculine, with a marvellous rose note which gives it a velvety aspect. Amazing dry-down, smooth, like an evening breeze. Very, very dandy.

Korres does nice perfumes without the toxic ingredients mainstream companies do BUT this has a cost.NO projection and NO sillage... This one impressed me A LOT cause it surprisingly lasted on my skin for 8 hours!!! The smell is awsome not really green but more woody

Better then the new versions of la nuit from YSl, to me a worthy buy! great fragance with natural feeling to it with great longevity and sillage! projection superb on me!

I sampled this while shopping for Korres Saffron ,amber and cardamom, which is lush btw. This is really nice vetiver, unisex and afordable. I'll buy this one next.
