Vetiver

Thought I’d best write something here for MG Vetiver, not long joined F and this is a beautiful Unisex multifaceted scent, a top 5 of mine all day long. Totally underrated from the lack of inputs on this thread. What a beauty this is, Opens with a zesty Organic Citrus (take your pick O/G/L) blast... Unique to my nose, nothing smells like this in my experience although It does remind me a tad of the vintage YSL Pour Homme (discontinued long ago and rock hard to find now... will cost you one big ¥£$!!! If you do!. Was my very first purchase in 87 at the start of this journey (apart from my mums nail varnish remover in 75!) They share Similar depth but MG V exhibits more smoke and leather with a slightly sweet edge at the top. Ticks every box this one. I’m getting a bitter sweet Lime that morphs competently with the Vetiver and smoky woods, Mild Spices and leather hold it together nicely... no synthetic formulations here. To me, completely Unisex and I can wear this any time of the day/night/year. Great performance and projects very well on my skin and has received untold compliments from both sexes. On my third bottle now. Go figure. If in doubt, go for it! In most cases we only regret things we don’t do. Enjoy!! MG V 9.9/10... nothing’s perfect!!!

I received this as a random sample, so I wasn't expecting much, but right from the first try it's impressed me. On the whole, it's a very well done vetiver-centric fragrance that uses a handful of supporting players to really emphasize the natural warmth of the central vetiver note. The composition is simple without being minimalistic--vetiver is front and center but not standing alone. So, as you might expect, you're going to get an intense vetiver theme throughout, starting strong from the opening. It's also in the opening that the bergamot is most noticeable, and it's a nice refreshing combination to start out. That bergamot note sustains quite well during wear, but less assertively over time. It's also with some wear that the woody/amber character of the scent comes to the fore. I like amber-vetiver as an darker chord for wearing on a night out, but here it's done gently enough (and in combination with citrus) that it could work all day. This fragrance stays around a solid 5-6 hours with projection within arm's length or so.

this fragrance is so special. this smells like the smile of the beautiful boy you fell in love with in the summer. its a warm afternoon, breeze in your hair, while you drive thru a citrus orchard. it’s a very happy scent. nothing offensive, yet quite unique. the celery seed, iris, and mandarin blend so well together while the amber adds this very bright sweetness. its sort of green and sweet in a sexy candy sort of way. the cardamom and wood add the earthy greenness that is the basis for the scent. i sense maybe a bit of iso-e super in there as well. it’s a bit reminiscent of santal 33 but in a way thats much younger and doesnt take itself so seriously. i would argue that there is no vetiver in here and i’m not mad about it at all. this stuff seriously smells super good and will get you lots of compliments. sadly it doesnt last or project very much ;( i’d love to discover something that smells exactly like this with much better performance

I'm in love. Vetiver is like You by Glossier for men in that it is an attractive, clean, easy-to-wear scent (I know both are technically unisex, but you get my point). Vetiver doesn't necessarily smell like You, but they give off similar vibes and serve similar purposes. It's a bit too masculine for me to wear, but I'd love to smell it on a guy. I'm impressed with the longevity. I sprayed this on at night before bed and can still smell it this morning. I REALLY love to sleep, guys; most of my fragrances disappear by the time I wake up. Many other reviews call this boring; I think simple is a better word. Often, keeping it simple is the way to go. Also, this scent is just plain sexy, so who cares if it's simple, it works.

This smells just like one of Speed Stick's deodorants (can't remember which one). But it's still very good! Fresh yet cozy, kind of sporty, masculine but not too mature. It's definitely a go-to scent and I like it very much, even though the comparison to a deodorant might seem diminishing. Also personally I can't single out any of the notes I see on here when smelling it.
