    What do reviewers say about Vetiver and Acqua di Cuba?

    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
    The honey-tobacco combination is the real draw here, sweet enough to pull you in, savory enough to keep you guessing. It's not trying to please everyone.Acqua di Cuba
