What do reviewers say about Vetiver Extraordinaire and Grey Vetiver?
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
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
