Vetiver Bourbon

A cheap vetiver with good reviews. Had to try it! The opening is a wonderful bitter fresh scent. Herbs and green. The lemon, bergamot and artemisia shine immediately. Some say its lemon pledge but to me its bitter green with lemon. Its fresh but in a more herbal spicy way. The coriander definitelt gives it all that spicy kick. Man what a wonderful opening! The initial drydown comes quick. You get a wonderful vetiver scent. Its soapy and yet has subtle smokiness. Usually vetiver has a soapy smell to me. This strikes a nice balance. The Neroli isnt as strong but its there. The initial drydown is very vetiver forward. The opening is gone within 30 minutes, at least to my nose. The sillage is moderate and longevity lasted about 3 hours. If you love Guerlain Vetiver, youll enjoy this. No where near the same in quality but for the price, this is so worth it. Smells more expensive for sure. 9/10 for vetiver and bitter green lovers! If lasted longer, would definitely be a 10. This will always be in my collection!
