What do reviewers say about French Lover and Vetiverissimo?
This isn't a fragrance that fills a room. It's for the person who understands that some of the best things happen at conversational distance. The moderate sillage isn't a flaw, it's the point.French Lover
The problem with most vetivers is they try too hard. Big openings, dramatic drydowns, the whole production. This one skips the theater. Vetiver and cedar, resin underneath, spice on top.Vetiverissimo
