What do reviewers say about Red Vetiver and Silphium?
It's linear, and that's the point. Once the grapefruit burns off, you're in vetiver territory for the long haul. Some call it a flaw. Others call it a signature.Red Vetiver
The pepper and geranium either pull you in or don't. That's the point, it doesn't seduce, it provokes. A niche fragrance that earns its wearers instead of collecting them.Silphium
