Comment: Vétyver is part of Les Nombres d'Or Collection
Opening with spicy and herbaceous accords, Vétyver possesses a delicate floral sweetness, which ushers the composition into the olfactory direction of moist warm hay (rather than an archetypal vetiver denouement).
The vetiver isn't particularly stark but, instead, blends seamlessly with the violet, clary sage and cedar. The end result is a serene and relatively unique interpretation of this earthy accord. Both the labdanum and tonka bean are prudently incorporated, as the composition steadily sweetens over time with its core still intact.
Although one finds it too genteel to sufficiently enjoy, its addition to the pantheon of quality vetiver fragrances is unconditionally welcomed.
