Dior launches a new exclusive collection of ten perfumes named La Collection Couturier Parfumeur in 2010., signed by the perfumer Francois Demachy. The collection illustrates the life of the founder - the famous Christian Dior.
The collection consists of re editions of three male fragrances: Eau Noire, Bois d'Argent and Ambre Nuit, and seven new ones: Mitzah, Vetiver, Granville, Leather Oud, New Look 1947, Cologne Royale and Milly-la-Foret. Vetiver and Leather Oud are masculine perfumes; Cologne Royale is suitable for both genders, while the rest are intended for the ladies.
Vetiver is a linear fragrance of raw Haitian vetiver pure essence merged with South American coffee aroma, intensive and masculine.
The fragrances from Dior La Collection Couturier Parfumeur are available in bottles of 125 ml, 225 ml and 450 ml.
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.
Rating: 8/10
Almost a solivetiver aroma from Dior. It`s a coeherent one, longlasting, of great materials, but that doesn`t seem so complex or artistical like some fragrances in the line. Seems more like a composition prepared to demonstrate the complexity and facets of vetiver itself.
The Vetiver here is the core of composition, and the transition of the opening to the vetiver is very subtle. You get a leafy, bitter opening of grapefruit, followed by a vetiver which focus on the green and woody facets of vetiver, leaving the leather and smokied sides outside the composition. The coffee aroma is very blended with the vetiver one, and you notice it`s woody, roasted smell on skin after some hours. It gets close to a gourmand coffee smell, but end being more of a woody support note to the vetiver.
This one leaves me quite confused. Although i enjoyed it, i know that great part of the quality and complexity of the aroma is because of the material itself, not because of the perfumer`s talent. It`s a simple composition, that doesn`t have anything personal of the perfumer being exposed.
I have an impression that if you like vetiver, you`ll like this one. If you don`t like, Vetiver by Dior doesn`t expose the material in a brilliant and new way that would make you change your mind.
