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.

I smell lots of ginger. There is something in this that makes this fragrance extremely easy to wear, the vetiver is very soft and clean (Haitian vetiver type is very clean) some warmth provided by the amber and the dry down is the most pillowy woodiness I have ever experienced. The lasting power isn’t that great but I spray liberally on clothing to extends its life.

Now, this was a big surprise. I had big hopes for Strawberry and zero interest in Vetiver. Yet thing turned differently. Vetiver is so fresh, enticing and luminous. The dryness of the vetiver is always there but it’s washed with the zing of the citrus, the subtle delicacy of the Iris and the creamy cardamom. I truly enjoy wearing it.

I really like the smell, it's more akin to aromatherapy than perfume. Relaxing, warm and aromatic. It's vetiver Moloko's younger sister. Mildly spiced dry aromatic vetiver, theres a lovely herbal quality to it that I really like too. Great comforting scent, Id get it for daily use at home:)

Lacking complexity, this fragrance does not possess a rich depth as one might expect. It exudes a pleasant aroma, suitable for everyday wear. While not particularly airy, it does fall short in terms of fullness. Nevertheless, it remains a pleasant option for wearing.

This fragrance is clean and smoky at the same time, which I find really interesting and unique. I'd say it's pretty unisex, but slightly more masculine leaning. Starts off cirtusy, but dries down woody and smoky.

Very clean woods, with some slight citrus. This smells very different on skin vs. clothes. On skin, it's more grassy and woody. But on clothes, it's almost maple syrupy with incense too.

It’s so popular now and went out in Sephora and the official site....

A very very VERY safe vetiver. Smells nothing like DS Durga St.Vetyver which is miles better and more complex than this. Lots of citrus on my skin.When the vetiver arrives it's faint and lacks punch. No roots to my nose, and even the very slight earthiness is whitewashed with carrot seed and synthetic fixatives. Disappointing effort for a vetiver scent. It's like a vetiver frag for people that hate smelling real vetiver in all of it's glory. I don't dispise it, but I wouldn't buy it, and I wouldn't wear it if it was given to me as a gift because it's terribly mundane. Office safe. A faint touch of smoke from the guaiac wood that keeps me from slipping into a coma 😴 Scent 3.5/10 Performance 6/10

A woody, lemon, cardamom, iris, very light scent. Smells way more citrusy and iris like than vetiver or woody, or earthy on my skin. Sadly, as with most Malin+Goetz fragrances it’s almost instantly a skin scent, so no point buying it when it performs as an eau de cologne! It’s truly natural smelling, so very close to how the citruses smells when you hold them in your hand and smell them but you won’t get much wear out of this scent. It’s nice but not worth the money. I find this brand overall so overpriced for the lack of the longevity of their perfumes. They smell realistic based on the concept of each perfume in most cases, but they’re gone in no time...

while vetiver by malin+goetz doesn’t develop much, and can be a bit “one note,” i don’t find that too offensive because it’s just spicy enough and just citrusy/fresh enough to be appealing to me. i can see why it might not work for some, but i think it smells delicious and attractive; when layered with other malin+goetz scents (a la mixing and matching the sample set) i think the scents work to complex each other in a way that works nicely for me. while i wouldn’t buy a full size of this, i think it would do nicely for layering, and i think the slightly-masculine sweetness is just pretty fun.

I love what I smell, it's just that I can hardly smell it. Not sure if I'm anosmic or what. The whiff I do get is of a faint earthy vetiver that's balanced out by some very light citrus without being too sweet. It's a vetiver fragrance that anyone can pull off. However, it's so subtle that it's disappointing. If anyone is aware of a similar fragrance with a little more intensity (without being too intense and masculine), please let me know!

I really like this. Earthy, grassy, woody, truly a scent of nature, feels very authentic. Good as a pre work-out and after shower. Spicy and fresh. Similar to the brand's Cannabis. I own a small size tester, probably going to use all of it but I am not in love with this scent that much to purchase the full size (I will probably rather spend that money on Leather and Dark Rum :)).

I’m into this one! The scent is refreshing, woodsy, and a little sensual all at once. Definitely unisex, more clean vibes than perfume vibes, which I feel like gives it the “boring” or “simple” rep, but sometimes that’s good! Sometimes I’m in the mood for that linear, no nonsense, ol’ reliable fragrance.

Opens very clean and citrusy, then comes some warmth and the woods. The vetiver is there but it is very light. I get a bit of spice on the dry down which is fresh and nice. This isn't an intense scent. Sunny and easy. A girl I want to spend time with but would never fall in love with.

Very fresh and clean vetiver balanced out with some citrus Some might say it's boring or one dimensional which is true, i reccomend as it is easy to wear
