I admit I'm a big fan of vetiver in fragrance, and this doesn't disappoint. It differs from other vetivers in my collection (Guerlain Vetiver, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Diptyque Vetyverio, etc) in...

"Contrasted and rich, Vetiver Oriental explores the chocolate redolent darkness of vetiver, the fragrant pale-beige roots of Indian grass. The scent of vetiver ranges from bitter grapefruit to soft...

I like some vetiver fragrances, but not this one. To my nose it smelled a lot like walking into my hair salon, where everything they use is from Aveda. Overwhelming, a bit too vanilla-sweet, and...

Like ocarina, I get burning rubber. It's a vanilla flavored burning vanilla rubber and it's submerged under a wonderful woody vetiver scent, but it never goes away and taints the whole thing. In...

mmm! buttery leather, spicy old dark wood, complex rich green.. all blends to be feminine enough, exotic & sexy but not too much for casual or office. has slight sweetness & boozy element.

This is nice, but what I get from this is vetiver, lavender and incense - it's pretty, and warm. But I've smelled lots of vetivers, and this is the least impressive of the bunch. It's lacks the...

Sadly, this was a scrubber on me. The opening was very sharp and harsh, with one note (perhaps the vetiver) that simply would not die down. I don't think it's much of an oriental either - just an...

I find this an interesting scent in that it unites opposites. It smells really clean, but it's also very sexy. And it smells crisp, but at the same time sultry. I think it would smell equally good...

I get no chocolate from VO, unless it's chocolate that's been thrown into a tire fire. There is indeed a deeply sexy vetiver fragrance buried in here, too bad it's smothered by a persistent...

I love vetiver, and (generally) the deeper and darker the better. I get no thrill from Guerlain's Vetiver, for example, which I find too clean, almost soapy-smelling. In the vetiver spectrum,...

In two words: unparalleled, incomparable. This is not like any vetiver I have sampled before, and I have sampled a fair share of them. This is not your typical unisex vetiver scent that ends up...

As the self-proclaimed Queen of all that is Vetiver - this is a winner. a very smooth product .. I suppose a tad masculine - but in a good way. Masculine perhaps as Katherine Hapburn. But...

Vetiver Oriental is not the type of scent I go for too often. It's got some deep, dark, masculinity almost that usually makes me stay away when I read the notes and descriptions of perfumes like...

Vetiver, sap, sandalwood--and chocolate?! Normally the slightest gourmand note makes me terribly queasy, but VO is simply beautiful.

Similar to Le Baiser du Dragon except richer but the staying power of Dragon is much better. Still, this is an awfully lovely fragrance.

Mmmm...this was lovely. I had worried that this scent would be too masculine for me, but that worry was in vain. This vetiver is blended with sandalwood and there also appears to be licorice and...

not bad but certainly not worth the price. not particularly unique either considering Lutens other fragrances. soft clean nice enough, but not even very reminicent of vetiver. to me, smells like...

Although Vetiver Oriental was initially very harsh on me, I let it run its course and I am glad I did. Vetiver is not a note I particularly enjoy, and the opening hour of so or this scent is...

A very nice woody, green, long-lasting scent that I'd personally like more if it were blended with something a little sweeter. As it is, Vetiver Oriental would probably smell quite nice on the...

I can resist vetiver, but I can never resist sandalwood and apparently I can't resist a combination of sandalwood and vetiver. Toss in some iris, chocolate, licorice and some resins and I'm on my...
