Once again the summer is gone, and
golden autumn is almost here. For this, in between period Vettiveru is a perfect
companion. Still bright, but with darker undertones. A beautiful work from
creative Comme des Garcons kitchen. Unfortunately, the perfumer is not
officially listed. Vettiveru hit the
market back in 2002. together with Ambar and Citrico. One can say that cologne
genre is quite boring and completely historically determined, but Vettiveru
broke that stereotype.
This scent opens with strong and bright
citrus notes of brisk neroli and bergamot, accompanied by faint pepper. The
main note of vetiver is pronounced. This vetiver is dark green, elegant, clean
and slightly smoky, but soften by white flowers. The base is soft cedar, most probably
Atlas cedar.
Beautiful, wearable, and modern, yet possesses
a classic cologne form. Sunny and complicated for cologne genre. Nice fresh, daily
scent with great longevity and great price. One cannot wish for more.
