What do reviewers say about Bois de Vetiver and Montabaco?
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
Montabaco rewards patience. The opening is excellent, but the real payoff is that suede-tobacco-sandalwood drydown. Give it time to breathe on your skin and it delivers something genuinely layered.Montabaco
