This is a clean grassy vetiver with lots of Citrus off the opening, mainly lemon, that never quite completely fades. Tobacco is aparent early on behind the Citrus then in the mid Nutmeg starts to become the lead note putting the Citrus behind it. At this point it becomes hard to differentiate notes as it's very well blended. Bits of leather, pepper, some florals mainly Neroli swirl about. Definitely very classy and well built this is. Not for a boy, this is a man's scent 35+. Drydown is a clean grassy Citrus scent with some body from the nuts, orris and tobacco as well as other supporting notes. Office safe, casual. Performance is solid 6+ hours, Spring through Autumn, Daytime. If you like vetiver scents this should be in your collection. Overall 7.5/10

This fragrance is a must buy for all classic fragrance lovers. Extremely satisfied with the purchase. Longevity is better than Eau sauvage. Lasts maybe 4 hours on my skin.

I am a senior and this is a mature perfume, in my mind. It projects well, has reasonable longevity, and the scent is deeply masculine. I suspect that an older man would enjoy it more than a younger man, just an observation. The vetiver is an acquired scent. What i do realize is that I like it more, with each use.

.A very light touch is required. as this is super concentrated.
For my taste eau de cologne would be preferable.

This is the gold standard that all other vetiver scents are measured against. Nothing compares and none come close to the price of this one either.
