What do reviewers say about Ancient Currents and Vetiveria?
Marine and moss shouldn't work this well together. One evokes water, the other damp forest floors, yet Ancient Currents threads them through saffron warmth and comes out cohesive.Ancient Currents
Clean, dry, no sweetness in sight. The vetiver is the point, mineral, slightly smoky, grown in Indonesian soil. This is vetiver, pure and unadulterated.Vetiveria
