    Vetiver Essence doesn't try to convert anyone. The vetiver is the point, earthy, almost tar-dark in the heart, there to be recognized by people who already know what they're looking for.Vetiver Essence
    There's a certain kind of man who wears Agua Brava. He doesn't need the fragrance to work hard for him. The drydown rewards patience, and anyone who can't handle an herbal chypre without sweetness.Agua Brava
