Love this one. When my sample runs out I need to hunt down a bottle.

Kept it old school and austere today: syncing with Guerlain Vetiver. Still my best fragrance purchase of all time: 200 ml in the tall listerine bottle for $38.

Encre Noire à l'Extrême by Nathalie Lorson for Lalique

My stuntman stand-in for Sycomore. Lacks the polish of the star and is rougher around the edges, but similar in shape when viewed from behind.

In Synch with Etro Shaal Nur, a citrus incense with rosemary and vetiver. Today it wears like an EdP version of Roger&Gallet Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille, but with incense and a heftier base including noticeable vetiver.

Five minutes into my first wearing of Dior Vetiver and I love it. Fantastic stuff!

How does this compare to the modern Les Parfums Mythiques version?

Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent...sorely overlooked

I need to try more from this house. A kind basenoter shared a sample of La Fumee Intense a while back, and it was fantastic. How would you describe Vetiver Insolent?

 

[Andy the frenchy]

How does this compare to the modern Les Parfums Mythiques version?

At my best knowledge, it is the bottle I pictured, but I could as well have received an early 2000's first edition of Les Mythiques... I'll have to double check. Anyways, the top of the juice I have is a bit finer, more elaborated, while the base is identical to the current one. The variation in the top could very well be just a variation due to the aging of the juice.

Saturday Syncing with:

Parfum d'Empire Vetiver Bourbon
Love this more and more with each wear. It's becoming my Saturday scent recently. I take a ballet class on Saturdays and it just discreet and classy enough to feel ok to wear. There's a lot going on with this one, but one thing it never does is shout.

 

[freewheelingvagabond]

Recommend me a Vetiver, please.

I have Sycomore and it's in my top five favourite fragrances, but too expensive for me to wear every day.

I have smelled Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire and find it to be simple and lovely, but also expensive.

I had a bottle of Guerlain Vetiver (from 2009) and loved the top-note but found the dry-down very aggressive and cleaning-product-y. Considering how beloved this fragrance is, I am curious as to whether or not this was a feature of the 2009-era of this fragrance? I adore all my other Guerlain fragrances.

I have never tried Encre Noire, Vetyver, Yatagan (and I love and wear Caron Pour Un Homme and 3e Homme in equal measure), or anything else. I am not particular about masc or femme choices, I wear it all.

Thanks in advance.

How about Grey Vetiver?
Even better if you can find it - Lubin Le Vetiver. And definitely Lubin Itasca, though that has a lot more going on.

Joining the Synch with Hermes Bel Ami - vetiver in the base already. Ellena built on that note when creating Bel Ami Vetiver.
Enjoying the opportunity to wear BA while WFH today.

For today's sync I tapped into my workhorse bottle of Terre d'Hermes, purchased new from Saks in 2006 and finally nearing the last few ml. Some days this shines on my skin; other days I can appreciate the craft, but it doesn't feel like "me". Today, it's working pretty well. The benzoin really came through in the opening with a quick punch of sweetness to underline the bruised orange. But the sweetness quickly recedes, settling into the mineralic base of vetiver, patchouli, & cedar, which I expect to quietly hum along for the rest of the day, airy and earthy at the same time.

 

[TRBeck]

Syncing with Montale Vetiver Patchouli today.

I have come to regard this as a Terre d'Hermes flanker of sorts. It opens with a bright, juicy citrus set alongside earthy carrot seed, but pretty quickly the base takes over. Vetiver, patchouli (pretty dense, slightly sweet, still diffusive) and cedarwood in the base, but less transparent than TdH.

Love this one. I have half a bottle (thanks to an incredibly kind basenoter!), but I wear it rarely to make it last since I know it's irreplaceable at this point.

Went with Etro Vetiver (EdC) this morning and Bruno Acampora Vert ("essence"/oil) this afternoon. It was a heavy application of the Etro and it was wonderful. Mild temps, nice breeze, lots of birds, sunny but eerily milky skies from Canadian forest fires - it fit the scene perfectly.
