What do reviewers say about Carven Vetiver and Grey Vetiver?
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
This is vetiver for someone who's done with the stuff that announces itself. Harry Frémont made a deliberate choice here: restraint over projection. The result is a fragrance that rewards proximity.Grey Vetiver
