What do reviewers say about Carven Vetiver and Vetiver Extreme?
Here's the thing about Carven Vetiver: it's the original. Created in 1957, it came before every other vetiver fragrance you're comparing it to. Some people want vetiver loud and aggressive.Carven Vetiver
Veteran vetiver wearers call this the herbal one, the smoky one. It's vetiver without apology. The tarragon and anise in the top throw some people off.Vetiver Extreme
