Racine belongs to the Les Caprices du Dandy collection. Vetiver with its sensual character is emphasized with oak moss, while musk and citruses make it intensive and fresh.
It is available in 100 ml bottles, as well as 500 ml refills. Racine was launched in 1988.
A clean, citrusy vetiver that confirms the general high quality of the MPG's offering during the 80's but, at the same time, it doesn't completely satisfy me. Generally I prefer bolder and darker interpretations of the main theme but, if you're into fresher vetivers, you definitely have to try this. In this specific case It's really just a matter of personal taste as this is objectively high quality stuff.
Rating: 7/10
How can I be the first to review this? Well, quite simply, this is one of the finest citrus and vetiver blends. The citrus holds for a long time but finally recedes and lets a very beautiful, green and clean but not insubstantial vetiver shine.
Like all of the MPG's, this one smells very natural. Yes, there is a bit of white musk in the base, but it is there to simply give lift to the vetiver and sweeten it ever so slightly. Unlike a lot of the scents by MPG, however, Racine is not particularly challenging. It is simply a wonderful and easy to wear creation, and puts many of the more popular vetivers, such as the (how many times now?) reformulated Guerlain Vetiver to shame.
That this scent isn't better known is almost criminal!
