manicboy's Review of Vétiver Extraordinaire by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle

Thread starter manicboy
Start date Feb 23, 2016

Should be renamed Vetiver Absolute. I smell nothing but Vetiver from beginning to end. Granted, Vetiver is a very complex essential oil that hits many notes but Malle did himself a modern perfume by bottling vetiver oil (high-end quality too) and calling it a fragrance.

4/10
