I like the opening a lot but then agian, later on it gets a bit too sour due to the bay leaf that I smell in there(at least I think it's the culprit).<BR/>Never tried Uomo,does it contain veriver too?<BR/>I recently tried Underworld by Liz Zorn and was completely wowed by it! It's similar to Onda, but more earthy and dirty and at the same time a bit sweeter and not as forceful. <BR/>P.S. I can't figure out a way to log in with my name showing. Do I need a blogger account for that?<BR/>VeronicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902352134639664562.post-8251857889774577892008-04-23T07:31:00.000-07:002008-04-23T07:31:00.000-07:00Funny that I always forget to state the obvious: D...Funny that I always forget to state the obvious: Dominique Ropion's indubitably magnificent Vetiver Extraordinaire for Frédéric Malle!Vetivressehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184229271272395673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902352134639664562.post-26980398275207920872008-04-22T22:11:00.000-07:002008-04-22T22:11:00.000-07:00Poivrebleu-Thanks.

It captures the rootiness without going musty or loamy. And, yes, I think Etro does a very good job. Heck, I like their fragrances more than a lot of their loud clothes. As for a list of must-smells, I'd put Etro Vetiver on there, as I would Sel du Vetiver, Annick Goutal Vetiver, MPG Route du Vetiver, Carven Vetyver, Lubin Le Vetiver, Montale Vetiver Sables and the new Chanel Sycomore. Also, Santa Maria Novella Vetiver cologne and soaps. Let me think some more...<BR/><BR/>Veronica, I remember coveting my boyfriend's LV Vetiver, but now I realize it's so much else besides vetiver and perhaps to its detriment. I've always liked it as a summer vetiver, but prefer his Uomo profumo.

A lot. Did you detect anything like that?<BR/><BR/>Dear poivrebleu, <BR/>I think it's a brilliant idea to do a week of vetiver reviews. Now I wish I was fluent in French:)I think Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver is an intresting one to try, if you haven't yet. <BR/>VeronicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902352134639664562.post-58778732654041394842008-04-22T15:25:00.000-07:002008-04-22T15:25:00.000-07:00Hi Vetivresse,I guess this is my first comment on ...Hi Vetivresse,<BR/><BR/>I guess this is my first comment on your blog. I was a little bit shy to leave a note here, because I don't speak so well English. I hope to be understood. This time, I wanted to say how much I like the way you talk about your passion about perfume. You like Etro's perfumes, so do I... You have tried many vetiver scents, and I would like to have your opinion about Encre Noire from Lalique. I would like to write a vetiver-week on my blog, and as far as I know, you really like those ones. What are the most important vetiver-perfumes to smell to have a good idea of the material, and what are, for you, the "must be smelled" perfumes for a vetiver addict?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
