mark White Vetiver

Bought this on a whim....Well...firstly..this fragrance is good stuff!! The name of the fragrance is very misleading...as it is NOT really a vetiver scent...!!! TUBEROSE/Cacao...bomb. White floral with other notes underneath...peeking in and out.The drydown phase...I get a slight soapy vetiver-ish tinge...but not full-on. I am really enjoying this...very surprised that I like this a lot.The slight woodiness/pink pepper smooths out the tuberose..which makes it NOT cloying...and I will add, I feel a little freshness to this as as well..somehow.Projection wise...this one can fool you..you think it is not there much...then ...Bam!...it really is still there...For less than $10....glad I got this.

Initially upon getting this scent in a swap I sprayed it once and instantly relisted it as it was SO strong-mind you it was the height of summer and the heat just amplified it.Well I decided to give it another try-this time I just barely depressed the sprayer until a tiny drop came out and wow-what a difference time(and colder weather) makes.It is a dark,smokey tuberose that is to die for:I strangely get no vetiver which is fine as true vetiver smells leathery to me.This has just a hint of coconut that I didn't notice the first time-very nice to ground the florals with.It would figure that now that I love it it is being discontinued....why does Avon(mark) discontinue stuff so easily?

For the price, this perfume is amazing. I wouldn't have expected sweet plum notes, earthy patchouli, and cacao to blend so beautifully together and completely enhance the scent of tuberose. Don't let the cacao note fool you. It's not a chocolate perfume by any means. The cacao smells natural like the actual plant. I would not wear this in cold months. It's so tropical, with Hawaiian tuberose and Amazonian cacao. All I can think about is Hawaii when I wear it, so I would make the most of this perfume in warmer months. p.s. The bottle is adorable with the big flower on top, yet not childish at all.

If this had more longevity it would be THE gardenia/tuberose scent I've been searching for. So well balanced, a creamy tuberose white floral with its hint of voluptuous fruit, where the vetiver holds the natural green and spicy base. And it is a 'white' woody vetiver versus a dark and smoky one. Love it. Why can't I find something like this in a strong formulation? Bond #9 Saks DNA for Her is close, but more harshly chemical smelling on my skin, so not as evocative of the tropical flowers we are trying to celebrate here.

I myself am not in love with the bottle, btw my son really is in love with the bottle! But as far as the perfume goes it is gorgeous gorgeous! I do think it is a sister to Tom Ford White Patchouly, so if that one is a bit too expensive, this one really does the trick!

I first tried the cream ans I loved it ! Then, I was lucky enouht to get the perfume. It is les intense than expected but the smell is very rich And unique. It IS a Nice odor of tuberose. Let see How long it last !

This is such a luxurious perfume!! It is unbelievable that Avon can make a perfume so gorgeously full bodied!! For lovers of a white floral perfume with a chocolate edge, this is really something for you!

I absolutely adore this perfume; the vetiver really comes through and is made feminine by the tuberose and jasmine one of my faves from avon!

What an inexpensive gem. Can anyone explain why the drydown has a minty smell? I guess it is the pepper and vetiver?

Patchouli is in the same family as mint, which might be why you think you are smelling mint

First of all, this is NOT a vetiver fragrance. This is a uniquely peppery take on tuberose. The first 10 minutes were a tug of war between the spicy, peppery note and a rather bold tuberose. It was not the candy tuberose of Truth or Dare nor the round and honeyed tuberose of Chloe (the original), but something in- between--with a bit of the roundness and sophistication of Chloe and a lightheartedness that was similar to ToD. The lighthearted tuberose kept trying to float away, to become silly or girly....but that note of pepper kept pulling it back down to earth, almost trying to pop it or bury it. It was quite a discordant introduction. And then there was a sudden truce, and the two notes found a delightfully sophisticated, delicate yet bold partnership. It is an odd combination, but I think it works. Like a quirky girl who can get away with the most unusual style combinations by bringing her own unique take--it's that kind of perfume. As it dries down, I do get a note of patchouli that is lightly woody and slightly dry; when I breath on my arm or if I wash my hands, the moisture brings out the tuberose again. It's an ebb and flow of notes that is interesting. By 3 hours, it is fading quite a bit. From an initial moderate to strong sillage, it is now faint. I think I still smell nice, but it is not the power that I started my evening with. Still, this is a fun perfume that would suit that quirky girl or woman who likes to find beauty in contrast.

Well, hello there tuberose! I like this fragrance quite a bit which is surprising because it's so cheap. I do get hints of vetiver, which is why I initially bought it. The tuberose makes me think of the islands and for that reason, I like wearing this fragrance in the summer. It has good sillage and good longevity on me. I like how the scent mixes with my chemistry in the heat of summer and becomes a little "dirty". Must be the patchouli peaking it's head up after the drydown. This is a great fragrance for a fun evening out during the summer. Maybe dinner on the beach. I feel sexy when I wear this..and it's obscure enough that I am sure I will be the only one wearing it in my town.

I don't rightly know what the concentration of a fragrance mist is, but White Vetiver is potent stuff. White Vetiver is overall a bit of a "dusty" fragrance. I also don't pick up a particularly strong presence of vetiver.. mostly patchouli & dry cacao. I had no idea what Georgywood molecule was so I looked it up. Seems it's the woody (non-vetiver) note that I'm getting here.

This is really unique. It's mature, strong, and something for evening wear & winter. The lasting power is all day! Even with that being said, this isn't for everyone. The uniqueness will make it a love it or hate it type of deal. The packaging could also turn some people away - it's about as cheap as you could get. Still, for the price this is something really special.

So curious about this one! I finally asked my avon lady to order it, and it was all gone :(

I love vetiver! I love tuberose and white florals! I love patchouli! I love virtually every note in this perfume. Unfortunatly, I abhor Mark White Vetiver. I don't know what is wrong. It almost makes me physically ill...and no other perfume has that effect on me. There is something about the indolic sweetness of the florals almost "strobing" against the dryness of the vetiver/patchouli that repells me. Yet I love Michael Kors' scents that have a similar rich tuberose/dry wood contrast. My revulsion is so strong that everytime I tried MV, I had to scrub it off within a very few minutes. Now I can't even handle the bottle without feeling ill. The effect started to influence the way I reacted to all white floral/woody scents, many of which are among my favourites. So WV must go. This is not an indictment of WV. But it is one example of the sensory power that makes perfume such a profound human experience.

I'm still debating on this one. Sometimes it smells okay...mostly it has a musty smell to it. I'm in love with the bottle and think it's expensive looking, I display mine. Sweetnspicey mentions this is a summer scent, I'd have thought otherwise. I will try this in the summer heat and see if this is the right recipe. Fresh, dry, hot weather can make a huge difference. I'm also finding out that for me to even give a review, I've got to wear the perfume a lotta lotta whole lotta times! This one hasn't been worn enough yet, so I'm not giving up. It might be just one note that might be fantastic under the right conditions. So far, I don't even really recognize what I might be smelling, not one thing at any point smells familiar...other than mushrooms?

Without ever smelling White Vetiver, I ordered it in the lotion. If I do not have to be at work, I wear real pure essential oil vetiver, which my husband and I love. But for work, POE vetiver is too earthy. So I was turned on by the idea of White Vetiver as a less "hippy" solution. I like it ok but it does not smell like vetiver. It reminds me of Sara Mitchell gardenia with a White Shoulders edge. I like White Shoulders; my great grandmother wore it, and I find it pleasant. White Vetiver smells similar to White Shoulders only it is a little milkier and "whiter". My goal was something woody, which this is not. I think I will wear it every once in a while, but I will keep searching for something earthier that I can wear in an office setting.

White Vetiver is labelled as a fragrance mist, so I'm surprised at how potent this is. Tuberose can be so hard for me to wear, so I wear this with some restraint, despite the supposed light concentration. This scent on me is mostly tuberose and patchouli, with some plum, and a hint of vetiver. The tuberose and plum combination seems a bit dark and heavy to me, and once the patchouli starts to take hold, this develops a slight masculine edge. I am a patchouli lover, so I could never understand when people mentioned that patchouli smells dank, but I actually get a bit of that here. The patchouli is a bit dirty and earthy in this. This scent seems suitable for cool wet weather.

I acquired an older (2011) bottle, which I think is my problem. At first, all I get is nail polish remover or hair spray. Then straight tuberose - which I usually like, however it's too soft and gone within minutes. I remember testing this and liking it enough to buy a full bottle back when it first came out, but this bottle must have gone bad.
