Let me start by saying that I am very weary of vetiver in a fragrance because of its unpleasant reaction on my my skin, becoming cloying and reminding me of b.o. It is fine if it is blended behind other notes but when it moves to the front I run away. My bottle of Guerlain's Vetiver occupies a spot in the back row of my fragrance collection, seldom used, often ignored.
With winter approaching, and cooler days, I have started to wear my less popular fragrances under my shirts as it masks their more undesirable notes and still leaves me feeling properly dressed. Not expecting much I decided to use some Vetiver for a change. The surprise came about 2 hours later when I noticed this divine little fragrance peeking through my shirt. Heavenly. The vetiver is still there but I have to concentrate to catch it.

About Me
- Louis
- I own so many fragrances now (and my collection is growing by the month) that I decided to capture my thoughts on them. Since I was a kid I was fascinated by smells which affected my eating habits, living habits and personal relationships. My sense of smell played a big part while growing up and formed lasting impressions that still affect me today. To me a good or bad smell is not just something that I can ignore.
