The first time I tried this sample, I didn't like it. At first I heard a cold, old-school scent, more like a citrus and cucumber cologne from the past. It was flat on the skin, with more facets on cl...Read more

A stunning classic. Originally this was released by Guerlain in 1959. It has been reformulated over the years, and gone through many bottle changes. The current bottle I have is from 2018, in a tall b...Read more

Vetiver by Guerlain is one of my personal favorites from the historic perfume house. Maybe this is because I’m enamored with the vetiver note and all of its green, smoky depth. This classic combines v...Read more

The perfume of the earth... Jean-Paul Guerlain's Vetiver was one of the the first fragrances composed primarily around Vetiver, and it has become a classic ever since. For me, when I first opened th...Read more

This is supposedly one of the classic, defining vetiver scents. However, I have to say I'm not all that impressed. Guerlain Vetiver just smells "unclean" to me. Admittedly, I am no vetiver aficionado ...Read more

This is a fragrance that defies gender. It smells like the roots of plants ground up in a blender with a dash of lemon--not necessarily edible, but it fresh and fantastic. It makes me imagine a litt...Read more

Opening is a little sharp, drydown a little sweet. In the middle is vetiver, with a "nutty" tone to it I don't care for. (If you do like that note, FM Vetiver Extraordinaire is like that from start to...Read more

I think this is a great scent...but not for me. I was hoping for a clean, crisp, green scent that would be great for daily use. But on my skin it's definitely a masculine scent. I love Gendarme so ...Read more

On me this smells like smokey banana. I love it. I wonder if there's any Ylang Ylang in this. Great for summer, man ánd woman.

Hmm. I didn't expect this to be quite so...soapy. I like vetiver (I'm loving Chanel's Sycomore). But either my chemistry brings out the soapy notes in fragrances or it's just something that I don't pa...Read more

Wonderful Vetiver- so Guerlain and very unisex. I don't care if this is at the men's section at Sephora ! It's a lovely rendition of Vetiver done well and it's a classic.

On initial application, there is a burst of lively and refreshingly tart citrus. YUMMY! Then it starts to change rapidly and dramatically to spicey nutmeg within just minutes. Later, orange blossom an...Read more
