    What do reviewers say about Vetiverus and Old Spice Original?

    Vetiver and osmanthus shouldn't work this well together. Mineral earth meeting apricot sweetness is an odd pairing, but it does. The leather and cloves give it backbone. The osmanthus keeps it honest.Vetiverus
    A fragrance that smells like Sunday morning, a fresh razor, and a drawer of white undershirts. It's been doing this since 1938. The warm spice heart rewards the patient.Old Spice Original
