Vetiver in Oak

Well balanced. Fresh and clean. Not too overpowering. But wish it lasted longer. More masculine than not. Natural.

I had this in the summertime and never wore it much. It seemed too heavy and dusty. I got it out again the other day and boy does it come alive in cooler weather! As the name suggests, it's very vetiver forward. But it's also refined, just a tiny bit boozy, and even a little creamy when it's under 60 degrees. Going forward, my sample will be in my fall rotation when I want something woody but not spicy. I do prefer Cedar in Acacia for that, though, so it's just a like for me.

This is a pretty nice straightforward lime + vetiver scent, inoffensive and easy to wear. It's not super long-lasting, so I wouldn't pay full price for a bottle, but the travel size amount from a subscription service has been worth it.

Got this in a subscription service, it’s not bad. It literally smells just like Encre Noire except more fine tuned and much more subtle performance. Beautiful bottle but the performance doesn’t justify the price point.

Very woody but it would be nice if the pepper was less strong, smelling it from a far is very pleasant and nice but up close its like a punch in the face. Would be perfect for like an apple orchid day in fall.
