Vetiver of Haiti

Eureka! my scent has been found after much searching -- and this site has been so very helpful. Thank you! I am seduced by the more 'masculine' scents, if you will, ... but to find a non-allergenic formula has been years long. If only Fahrenheit came without chemicals! So, I shall continue searching various obscure scents to expand my personal olfactory indulgence. Ooooo this one makes me happy :) - yay and btw, I like that the scent remains close to the body and personal. Its not meant to attract the uninvited.

'Make perfume, not war' is the slogan. Love this bold, earthy vetiver scent. Perfect for a crisp Autumn day. And also makes a good base for layering.

I was expecting a lot from this one but was a little bit disappointed because it's not going to replace the other sexier, deeper, more elegant and glamorous offerings from say, Chanel, Guerlain or Creed. Instead this ends up to be a more intimate, simple, comfort scent that wears close to the skin. Upon immediate application the scent has an herbal, medicinal quality. Actually l tried some authentic liquorice candy the other day and this scent triggers that taste/scent memory. Pleasingly Sweet and aromatic with a hint of warm spice. I also think of gingerbread. There might be some sensual ambrette seed musk here. The perfume pyramid states this perfume has linden flower in it. I know in real life it is said to smell like semen. And yes l do get that. All the perfumes in the line are quite clean so that's really surprising. The floral note here is really delicate and green. I also smell something bubbly and soapy know the background, like liquid dish detergent. Haitian Vetiver is my favourite kind. Here out smells earthy, warm, hay like yet dark and smokey all at once. Since this is a scent that is dominated by base notes, it makes a great base for layering into a more complete perfume. I really like this combined with their Noble Rose for a deep, warm, spicy rose. A bit of Orange Blossom completes the bouquet infusing it with the cool freshness of citrus and green dew.

I can smell all of these notes. Its a very clean citrusy vetiver to me with a touch of amber. The smell is great but sits very close to the skin. If it projected well it would be great. I have only had it on for about an hour with three sprays. Just not detecting much without putting my wrist right up to my nose

Interesting. It's a very young blend, so the vetiver is very fresh and grassy. I'm interested to see what happens as it ages. I like it much better than Vetiver Elemi, which confirms that vetiver by itself is fine.
