Vetiver Bourbon

A cheap vetiver with good reviews. Had to try it! The opening is a wonderful bitter fresh scent. Herbs and green. The lemon, bergamot and artemisia shine immediately. Some say its lemon pledge but to me its bitter green with lemon. Its fresh but in a more herbal spicy way. The coriander definitelt gives it all that spicy kick. Man what a wonderful opening! The initial drydown comes quick. You get a wonderful vetiver scent. Its soapy and yet has subtle smokiness. Usually vetiver has a soapy smell to me. This strikes a nice balance. The Neroli isnt as strong but its there. The initial drydown is very vetiver forward. The opening is gone within 30 minutes, at least to my nose. The later period i dont get much sandalwood foom the listed notes. I get vetiver with an more earthy smell. Likely the neroli fading and thr oakmoss taking over alongside vetiver. The sillage is moderate and longevity lasted about 2-3hours. Those complaining of it being low quality, for a $15-20, what did you expect? Secondly, the notes do not contribute to a monster/"beast" kind of fragrance. If you love Guerlain Vetiver, you'll enjoy this. No where near the same in quality but for the price, this is so worth it. Smells more expensive for sure. 9/10 for vetiver and bitter green lovers! If lasted longer, would definitely be a 10. This will always be in my collection!

Not much to say about this one, except for that it's a very nice vetiver. Simple, incredibly smooth and palatable, perfect scent for summer with the fresh uplifting hint of citrus & greens in the opening giving way to a truly clean vetiver. There's a dash of earth in there too from some moss, Monotheme don't disappoint, producing yet again, a really decent fragrance. There's actually been a packaging change which usually means a reformulation, I actually got the opportunity to try both versions and I have to say they are both really nice. One lasted longer than the other, unfortunately I got my arms mixed up and I don't know which one was which? The older formula (bottle & box pictured here) or the newer version. (dark green bottle) Lasting power is a problem across the board for Monotheme but they are so well priced and great smelling that I really don't care if they only last a couple of hours. I know some pricier vetivers that are nice from Jo Malone or Diptyque that don't last either, so why not get this instead? If you like vetiver I'd check out Vetiver Bourbon, it isn't quite up there with Guerlain or Tom Ford but a worthy purchase for sure.

I really love this Vetiver. It isn't as green and bitter as the Guerlain Vetiver but I would say that it is a really close dupe to Creed's Vetiver (which legend has it that it was worn by JFK) It has the perfect balance as a clean citrus with woodsy and grassy notes for that hint of green. A good masculine for women to wear on a sultry hot summers day with a linen dress or suit. It really has that summer in hot climes feel about it, when it is too hot to be bothered about it so you clamour for the coolest and freshest fragrance you have and spend the day very happy with your choice. I once went on a first date with a man wearing Creed's Vetiver on a shirt that was checked like mathematical graph paper. I thought it was love at first sight for him but it was the fragrance that got me. Thankfully this is so close enough to my nose that I can buy this as an everyday staple without the need to remortgage the house!

If you love green fragrances, this is definitely the one you should go for. This one is a pretty linear scent, all you get is super green vibes with a sharp grassy vetiver for 2-3 hours. Lemon and artemisia makes this scent a little more edgy. It is a safe fragrance as well, I have never heard of someone who hates that freshly cut grass smell. You can get a different scent profile here but the vibes are more or less the same. Perfect for hot days. Great for occasions like a BBQ, hiking, or just hanging out around the city. If you are out for a special occasion, you would need something with more character and deepness. Have this in your collection as a nice, clean and fresh smell which is not super popular, so you would definitely stand out a little.

Weak longevity but a gorgeous fragrance for short errands or for home activities. The more I use it the more I love it. High quality for low price (12 eur). The vetiver is not dark and serious but bright, happy, freshly-cut-grass. The smell is very natural. This perfume brings a smile on my face every time I use it. Love, love. I plan buying a second bottle online for even lower price (8 eur)! EDIT: It doesn't try to clone anything that's why it has such quality for such a low price. Love it anytime I wear it.

A gorgeous very unisex sweet, fresh vetiver fragrance. The artemisia is evident along with the juicy citrus note. There is sweetness that makes me think of a delicious cocktail like a mojito. I can definitely see myself wearing this on warm day. It's cheap but it smells high end and not chemically like most cheapies. It's a shame the longevity is not good but being a cheapie you can just reapply in the day.

Admittedly I'm not very knowledgeable about perfumes, but out of all the ones I've tried throughout the years, this is still my favorite. Elegant, refreshing, subtly masculine (although I can definitely recommend it to women who want a less femme scent too), confident without being overwhelming, and just overall a very pleasant scent to wear during the day.

Very pleasant perfume, with great versatility. It can easily be worn in the morning at work and during night out, at a restaurant or at a bar.Aromatic,green,woody.Artemisia and vetiver are the dominant notes. Perfume for men, most suitable for ages 30+.It can be worn in every season except very hot days of summer. Best season:spring. Great value for money!

Not sure why no one has mentioned it before, but it smells really expensive to me. The very first image that came to mind was royalty in such a scent. True luxury. My mind was blown at how affordable this is (£29 only?! oh wow) I literally thought they labeled it with the wrong price tag.

That is a not so sweet type of vetiver. Lots of vetiver, moss, sage and bergamot. Extremely fresh. Definitely not the Creed's type. Closer to Vetiver Extraordinaire by Frederic Malle. As if Molecule 03 was mixed with Creed GIT. Monstrous projection and performance. Loving it!

This is an earthier vetiver than Creed's and creamier than Guerlain's benchmark classic but in truth is a very wearable and pleasant vetiver and I like it a lot. Also, performance is decent and at £30 for 100ml it really is a bit of a steal, this is lovely stuff. 4/5

I really like this stuff! There's nothing big or bold about it. It's just a nice comfortable fragrance that does especially well in the heat. (The price isn't bad either.) I've been looking for something foe summer that isn't 'blue'. I may have found it.

Beautiful vetiver scent, one of the best low budget vetiver perfume, i had owned in my life. Refined, uplifting, smooth, pleasant green embracing. Good performance on the clothes, average on my skin. Highly recommended for the vetiver lovers :)

This is very fresh and clean smelling. The vetiver is grassy not citrusy, dirty or dark. Sillage is good and longevity is 6 hours or so. Nicely blended and pleasant...an excellent value!

For 12.20 euros, I think this is one of the best vetiver scents you can get. Amazing in the spring and rainy days. Like a lot of vetiver scents. Lasts between 6-10 hours on me.

It is exactly the same as signoricci. In fact, the longevity of the perfume is even more successful. I can say that it is one of the best lemon perfumes. 10/10

A very clean fragrance. I wont go much into the details into breakdown phases as this is a very straightforward, linear and somewhat natural scent. This scent shines most for men with impeccable manners as there is some 'class' to it. Not a compliment getter but people around will definitely have a positive impression (and talked about) about how you carry yourself wearing this, that's why I mentioned this scent is for well mannered men only. - Slightly mature, for 30+ Men who just want to smell clean but not loud. - Can be worn in any season, performs better in warm weather. - Can be worn anytime, day, evening or night. - Can be worn on any occasion. Great for office. - Sillage is moderate. Does not offend anyone around in closed spaces. - Longevity is 1-2 hrs max after which it becomes skin scent and it is very nice. - 2 sprays on each elbow pit and 2 on the neck sides is sufficient. - Worth for the price as the scent is more on the niche side and not artificial. . - Neat bottle and a very sturdy and fine atomizer. This can be a blind buy scent and not regrettable one. Go ahead and buy it.

Another nice perfume from Monotheme. Vetiver Bourbon is a very nice, very elegant take on vetiver. It's a nicely blended perfume. It opens with lemon, vetiver, bergamot, coriander, artemisia, neroli and a bourbon rose. The rose may not be listed but, as the name suggests, it is there. About forty minutes in it gets joined by sandalwood. The perfume projects for about two hours before it starts to fade with the citrus notes going first, unsurprisingly. It gradually fades until it's all gone in just under six hours. It's bright and on the sweeter side until the last hour or so when it goes a little soapy before vanishing. You wouldn't think it sells for the price it does - it smells much higher end. Vetivier Bourbon works in any season and weather. An excellent bit of perfumery.

Đây là bình luận tiếng việt cho anh em Việt Nam, Trước tiên mùi hương khá là ok so với giá (~24USD). Mát, hơi chua, cổ điển và thanh lịch là những từ đầu tiên khi mới xịt lên da. Sau đó mùi hương chuyển dần hơi hướng mùi xà phòng cạo râu trong các tiệm cắt tóc tuy nhiên hơi hăng. Nói chung mùi khá tươi mát, nhẹ và dễ sử dụng cho anh chị em vào những ngày hè, nóng với môi trường văn phòng hay đi dạo ngoài (cần xịt nhiều hơn) . Phù hợp hơn vào ban ngày nhưng sử dụng vào buổi tối cũng không tệ. Nói chung cảm nhận cá nhân là khoảng 6,5/10 Còn so với giá để trải nghiệm thì 8/10.

Let's make it clear that Bourbon Vetiver is a type of vetiver such as Haitian vetiver or Javanese vetiver. So it has nothing to do with Bourbon Whiskey. Bourbon Vetiver is considered a type of superior quality and in this scent it really shines in tandem with the citruses. Some may find it old school, I find it very elegant and classy. It's fresh and crispy with an aura of a very expensive bar of soap! It definitely suits gentlemen who don't want to smell like cotton candy at a funfair or a piece of tiramisu in a pastry shop.
