Gorgeous vetiver fragrance that's good for men and women. It's light, slightly floral, slightly sweet, and a bit fresh (lavender?). I found it wears really well in hot, humid NY summer weather. I...

VO takes some getting used to, unless you are the kind of person who instantly loves anything vetiver. It is initially very harsh, very green, very earthy, but then dries down to a softer, muted...

Some vetiver. Heap of sandalwood. Dose of floral. NO ORIENTAL. Nothing I can identify, anyway. And more importantly, no depth or complexity. I can get something strikingly similar in a $15...

I like Vetiver Oriental. I don't love it. To me, it smells exactly like those crunchy noodles in a Chinese Restaurant

Well. This is possibly the most unique and feminine vetiver scent I've found. I like vetiver, but it is usually too masculine, and too. . .dry and root-like. It tends to have a very loamy,...

Drab floriental. Reminiscent of Samsara which I love to smell on women, sans the sweetness. From reading other reviews I expected loamy green Vetiver, all I got was a lot of sweet sandalwood. Still...

It started a few months ago. I was researching Serge Lutens scents and figuring out which would be my first. I looked through the entire non export line and decided Vetiver Oriental seemed like one...

I am not a vetiver virgin. I know vetiver and love it, all on it's own. I enjoy vetiver oil on a stick stuck in a vase. So when a friend of a friend went to the city of all cities to visit the...

Maybe I have to keep at this one, as this has such a high rating, but Bois Oriental is my preference.

I must prefix this reveiw, by saying I'm allready in love with another vetiver scent. Maybe one should not compare. Although Vetiver Oriental, is warm, soft, and comforting, it did not send me to...

I have read all the review and with some trepidation, squirted some of this on my arm. As someone who always wants florals, fruits and perhaps citrus, this seemed to be the opposite of anything I...

Vetiver, in my mind, is usually something I feel that should be strictly confined to men's perfumes. Yet I want this! In Lutens' take on the note, the vetiver is sweetened by *something*...

Mmm. Love it. Sexy, earthy, but it has a softness about it (that I detect as vanilla....)Most vetivers are a bit too heavy for me, but this version is softer and, dare I say, more feminine? Not a...

This stuff rocks the party that rocks the party. It's old world, it's exotic, it's sinfully sexy. Not too masculine, not too feminine--I think you'd have to be very confident to wear this. It's not...
