Anyone have a recommendation for a nice Vetiver scent?
I’ve been on the hunt for a nice crisp, not too challenging vetiver-forward fragrance and I keep drawing blanks. Anyone have any ideas? I know I have a weird nose and the slightest hint from a long list of notes can wreck a fragrance for me, but I gotta keep trying — right?
For what it’s worth I do have and absolutely love a bottle of Dior Homme 2020, which to my nose has some appealing vetiver in it. Honestly, if there was something that was like that one with a twist, then I would jump on it.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far and why they didn’t work for me:
  • TF Grey Vetiver EDP: orris and nutmeg ruin it for me
  • TF Grey Vetiver Parfum: too metallic and screechy
  • Lalique Encre Noire line: way too screechy (and Encre Indigo smells like burnt clams to me 🤷‍♂️)
  • Penhaligon Inimitable William: meh, a bit soft and not exciting
  • Terre d’Hermes line: I don’t love the flint/ metallics of that line (although… Eau Givree is growing on me and is a definite maybe, but I don’t think it has any vetiver in it)
  • Vetiver Sensuel: the floral note ruins it for me
  • Jo Malone Vetiver and Golden Vanilla: has a weird burnt rubber vibe to me
  • ELDO Fat Electrician: has the same weird burnt rubber vibe
  • Boss collection elegant Vetiver: I had this but sold it, the pistachio note was weird to me
  • Then there are probably scores of others that have Vetiver in them and do or don’t work for me, but I wouldn’t consider them Vetiver forward
