La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Vetiver Dior for men

I have worn Guerlain Vetiver since my high school days back in the 80's. To me there was no other Vetiver in the world that compared. Sadly I have to say that my beloved Vetiver of Guerlain has found a superior. Dior Vetiver is more refined, elegant, fresher, and durable. Yes, this is a minimalist version of the wide array of Vetiver fragrances in the market, but it is adorable and a few steps above in elegance than the rest. It is all about the quality of the ingredients and the manufacturing what makes wine, food, colognes, etc stand a few nodges above the average, and Dior's Vetiver is proof of it. And as an EDP this one lasts a long time on me which Guerlain's and others could not do. Chanel Sycomore (which I own and cannot compare to Dior because of the dryer and much different Vetiver note), you have found a companion in your category and my collection, with a longevity that you don't offer. Well done Dior. Guerlain Vetiver, I still love you; you'll just have to share the pedestal.

Dior Vetiver is excellent.
Opens a chord with a citrus green, medium spicy, and soon felt the presence of a beautiful earthy woody vetiver and also root (already had one) and become a sophisticated scent, something earthy green and even herbal. Really have coffee?
I think why it's a great perfume, because analyzing it, is simply a matter of drawing and seeing the price, but still, quality.

I absolutely adore this fragrance. A quick burst of fresh citrus then it quickly settles down to its nature of of earth, grass and perhaps a little smoky, peat bog not dissimilar to a fine 16 year old Lagavulin Single Malt. It remains steadfast and singular in its offering however I have noticed a slight soapy development around hour 6 which is not unpleasant at all. I don't detect any coffee here but my nose is not very refined yet.

Again, I am sounding like an old record but "henri345que" has nailed it on the head.
I like this one very much but find that the coffee note makes it more interesting and arguably more appealing to the masses (given the never-ending trend of gourmand notes).

In the dry-down I get somehow something woodsy, creamy, sandalwood similar to Joop! Homme. Very potent. Very masculine.

I think this could be a great mix/ layering scent, i.e. use this as a base for let's say the light and fruity GUERLAIN Homme to make it last longer.....

Or give the classic "Fahrenheit" a new Vetiver twist by blending?

Vetiver by Dior is another staple to one's vetiver desires. It's a very simplistic yet high quality vetiver fragrance. It's not a smokey dirty vetiver like Sycomore, nor is it sweet like Vetiver Tonka. It's an elegant, dry, clean take on vetiver with a subtle coffee note. This is something i picture Cary Grant wearing while in his well-tailored suit. Also, its something of what a minimalist would wear, all about clean lines.

This will be a buy for me.

Dior's interpretation of vetiver is essential, fresh, minimalistic, no-surprise and leaves vetiver to speak by itself. Opens with a zingy green citrus accord and evolves into an incredibly satisfying, high-quality multi-facets woody/earthy/rooty vetiver with a nice projection and a good lasting power. An incredibly simple composition that sounds more like a tribute to this fascinating root.

I still prefer the complexity of Sycomore or the green edges of Vetiver Extraordinaire, but Dior Vetiver is surely another great high-end vetiver to add to my list of favorites.

No coffee detected, sorry.
