My holy grail is Carnal Flower from the same line. The only reason I bring it up is because I would love to smell VE on a woman. Then I would love to smell the air as we embrace…granted it would be platonic ; ) but we’d smell fab.

Niney, it’s often combined with citrus in men’s colognes, you’re right. But the note itself is sort of dirty as in earthy/wet/rooty and green. Truly amazing!

Faizan, I remember quite liking Route du Vetiver by MPG. Must resniff. I agree, the price for VE is atrocious. Thankfully, the ozone note isn’t too strong on my skin.

Minsun, if you’re just starting out in vetiver, I’d actually not recommend VE as a starting point. I’d go with milder versions like maybe Creed Original Vetiver or Guerlain Vetiver. This one is pretty hard core.

Tove, yes, it’s a must try. I think you’ll like it.

Judith, yes, isn’t it a shame? They get rid of the good guys way too much.

Marina, now that you mention Vetiver Bourbon, I must go sniff it again. Djedi is vetiver? Somehow I didn’t notice that.
