What do reviewers say about Vetyver and Carven Vetiver?
Not for those who want to be smelled across the room. Vetyver rewards the wearer who doesn't need the attention, someone who prefers a scent that reveals itself slowly, intimately.Vetyver
Here's the thing about Carven Vetiver: it's the original. Created in 1957, it came before every other vetiver fragrance you're comparing it to. Some people want vetiver loud and aggressive.Carven Vetiver
