What do reviewers say about Black Vetiver and Grey Vetiver?
Vetiver without compromise. No vanilla, no amber, no apology. Tar and a chili bite that lingers. If you want vetiver that acts like it, not like a candle, this is it.Black Vetiver
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
