Ex Vetiver

I got this for my husband and i think it will go really nicely. He is someone who runs hot and this is one if those scents that melts into the skin and gives a soft halo of diffusion

Ex-Vetiver smells like it just stepped out of a five-star hotel shower, wrapped itself in a fluffy white towel, and politely judged my life choices. It’s extremely fresh - fresh as in “did you just scrub your aura with artisanal soap?” fresh. Definitely unisex, definitely clean, and definitely not here to play around.

On my skin, the aromatics come in hot, followed by a very assertive vetiver that clearly did not skip leg day. It’s sharp, powdery, and crisp - like a luxury bar of soap that costs more than your monthly streaming subscriptions combined. If “immaculate” had a scent, this would be it. Not much citrus for me, though. I kept waiting for the lemon to show up like it was on the guest list, but apparently it stayed home. Based on the notes, I expected citrusy zing; instead, I got expensive cleanliness.

This is the kind of fragrance that says, “I wake up early, drink water, and my apartment smells amazing at all times.” It would absolutely shine as an everyday scent, especially in spring and summer, or anytime you want to smell like you have your life very much together - even if you don’t.

That said, I’m personally not a huge fan of soapy fragrances, and this one leans hard into that freshly laundered, just-polished-the-marble-countertops vibe. I respect it. I admire it. I will not be buying a full bottle. But if you love smelling clean, sharp, and effortlessly put-together, this might just be your new signature shower-but-make-it-luxury scent.

Very fresh scent, love it!

Not too sure about the longevity tbh. Smells good in the beginning tho

This is like 60-80% a lemon/bergamot musk fragrance (think dove soap, lotions, or sunscreens, but with lemon as the main note) that has a Haitian + Java vetiver base that it dries down to, but the fragrance is not a "vetiver bomb". The lemony musk has good performance, it doesn't all evaporate and leave you with pure vetiver, it stays around like the vetiver does. The fragrance smells like an easy-to-wear clean-smelling/soapy lemon skin lotion or sunscreen that has some vetiver in the base.

The vetiver is earthy, grassy, smoky, "rooty", and nutty (Java vetiver is kind of "peanutty").

This is a beautiful fresh fragrance. It’s woody and slightly sweet in the best possible way. Will be reaching for this often as it starts to warm up.
