What do reviewers say about Vetiveria and Apex?
Clean, dry, no sweetness in sight. The vetiver is the point, mineral, slightly smoky, grown in Indonesian soil. This is vetiver, pure and unadulterated.Vetiveria
Bold citrus-fruity presence that arrives with intent. Apex opens with a pineapple-citrus burst so assertive it commands attention, held by the green backbone of labdanum and oakmoss that doesn't let.Apex
