I have a sample of this vintage juice and it does smell really good. A deep dry earthy vetiver with a little rootyness, very good quality. The only thing thats lets it down is poor projection and longevity.
I own an almost full bottle of the original Givenchy Eau de Vetyver (without the box) which I'd like to sell. I'm in the UK but will send it worldwide. Please send me a private message with an offer.
Original Vintage formulation - brilliant, sublime scent. Gorgeous, deep & rooty vetiver with a nice light touch of bergamot to open and a smooth sandalwood base. Precedes Guerlain's 1961 benchmark bottle. A masterpiece unto itself. Will never be made again - even in Les Parfums Mythiques' release...which is excellent, but original has something special. Timeless.
If you are able to procure this juice and it has been well-preserved, it is an absolute MUST for true Vetiver aficionados. To smell it is to understand beauty. This is not a fragrance - this is an expression of scent, and a truly beautiful one at that. Have you stood in Florence, Italy at the Accademia Gallery and seen the original statue of David? I have. It is so perfectly-chiseled and awe-inspiring at 17 feet tall. There is a similar sense of divine touch when a lover of vetiver smells this bottle of Eau de Vetyver from Givenchy. I am so blessed and thankful to have it.
Not to be rude, be please leave this page of reviews for those who have the Original Vintage elixir - there is a separate page for the Les Parfums Mythiques bottle. I own that as well, for wear, but this will be treasured.
This is a review of the relaunched Vetyver, part of Givenchy's "Les Parfums Mythiques" line. Impressively restrained. A pronounced, rooty, nutty - though not radical - green vetiver note at the center, surrounded by a conservative and very well executed bouquet of masuline gentility - cedar, perhaps sandal, refined sweetness of tonka, mossy diffusion. Where Villoresi's excellent Vetiver is all about panache, this one is all about low key elegance. Not exciting, indeed, but excellent. A great alternative for those who, like myself, cannot stomach the tobacco in Guerlain's Vetiver.
