What do reviewers say about Vetiver Extraordinaire and Vetiver Extreme?
There's a reason it is called Extraordinaire. The Haitian vetiver here is not the dirty, smoky root you might expect from the material. It is refined and almost elegant in its execution.Vetiver Extraordinaire
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
