    What do reviewers say about Darwin and Grey Vetiver?

    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
    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
