What do reviewers say about Bois de Vetiver and Totem Yellow?
Some vetiver fragrances want to fill the room. This one doesn't. It opens cool, citrus-bright, then settles into roots and earth that stay close, intimate rather than announced.Bois de Vetiver
The tea note is a notable element in this bright citrus fragrance. It brings a translucent quality that adds depth without heaviness. Without it, the composition would be pleasant and straightforward.Totem Yellow
