What do reviewers say about Vetiver and Francois Charles?
Vetiver is one of perfumery's most misunderstood notes. Too often it plays a supporting role, the earthiness that grounds a floral or a tobacco blend. Vetiver puts the material front and center.Vetiver
This fragrance doesn't announce itself, it arrives. The spices build quietly while the citrus fades, and by hour two you're getting compliments from people standing beside you, not across the room.Francois Charles
