I don't think I ever reviewed this before because I figured it was a pretty standard vetiver, and it is, but a very pleasant one. Refreshing that it has vetiver in the name and actually smells of vetiver, but it's a mild, non smoky, Haitian vetiver, with that sharp, citrus, nootkatone element enhanced rather than the dry, smoky, rooty, tendrills of a darker vetiver. It's no less authentic though and feels creamy in that sense that vetiver can be, and that saltiness is there, certainly in the top notes. It's lovely actually. If I consider getting another vetiver fragrances at some point, this might be on the shortlist.
