Eau de Vétyver L`Occitane en Provence for men

I'm a great lover of vetiver-based scents, and this is a very good one. L'Occitane does a great job with earthy 'natural' perfumes, and Eau de Vetyver is a solid example of a love of material. Vetiver is a mysterious substance that can be blended in many ways and clearly the noses at L'Occitane really adore vetiver because they've placed it in a beautiful setting of minimal accompaniments. Even though vetiver is used as the base, it does not have that rough and resinous side that some vetiver perfumes have. This is a simpler and somewhat lighter delivery (than, say, Guerlain's 'Vetiver',) but it still packs a warm and masculine punch.

It's sometimes difficult to find men's perfumes that can be distinguished as masculine and yet still retain the lightness that makes it less over-powering. L'Occitane succeeds here on this front. This is a great scent for a man who is just starting out in the world of vetivers, since this is neither sweet nor dirty, but balanced right in the middle.

One of my favourites, i get this one for my partner every year as it reminds me of when we first met. Its so lovely, masculine but not energetic and sporty like many manfumes can be. Its spicy and warm, perfect for winters but works in warmer weathers as well. Also, it works for women if you are looking for something different as a change from floral and fruity frags.

Very dry, very earthy smell. Not very pleasent.

Well, this is a vetiver that women can easily wear. Again, as with most "L'Occitane" perfumes the longevity is dubious and the nose itching element is there so, try before you buy.
Not bad though!

One of my rules is, if after a few wears the frag receives no compliments, it is not doing its job. So...having said that, this one is working.

Vetiver, for me, is a nice Summer alternative to the typical male citrus/ fresh colognes that mulitply on the shelves and, this is one of the better ones.

Its subtle sweetness removes the edge off the greeness found in some of the average vetivers (maybe it's the rosemary?).

Sillage is solid and longevity above average.

Do not believe it has been discontinued. The Eau de toilette is available at L'Occitane stores and site. And...at $48 a deal!

A nice smooth vetiver fragrance. It is sweet and mild take on vetiver. It also has quite a bit of cypress in it. very well done.
i like it but...
it doesn't last very long,
i get 3-4 hours and that is about all,

my wife did not like this one.

I love this one, but if I put too much on, it makes me feel nauseous. This is the first fragrance that has that effect on me........but I still like it.
Very difficult to find as it has been discontinued. They do pop up on ebay from time to time.

**EDIT** It has only been discontinued here in Australia. Still available in the USofA

One of the "BEST VETIVER" on the market !!! With CARON and PUIG.
Super longevity !!!!

10/10

Starts very masculine, but dries down to a softer scent. The following notes are not listed in the ingredients, but I still get nuances of them: Leather, tobacco and woods. It's very nice without any sweetness or floral edges. Could be worn by men or women, but the women have to be okay with non-floral, non-fruity scents. Works fine for me.

The scent wasn't very pleasant for me, it smelled somehow medical, quite dry
