    Real talk

    This is not a fragrance designed to seduce. It presents itself plainly, with cedar honest and clean, vetiver keeping things earthy on the drydown, and grapefruit providing final brightness.Darwin
    Grey Vetiver does not flirt with ambiguity. It announces vetiver, uses citrus and spice as supporting architecture, and refuses the aquatic trendiness that saturated men's fragrance in 2009.Grey Vetiver
