What do reviewers say about Vetyver and Grey Vetiver?
Not for those who want their vetiver diluted to something polite. This is the real thing, rooty and mineral and uncompromising. For men who know exactly what they want.Vetyver
This is vetiver for someone who's done with the stuff that announces itself. Harry Frémont made a deliberate choice here: restraint over projection. The result is a fragrance that rewards proximity.Grey Vetiver
