What do reviewers say about Chess Club and Vetiver?
It won't announce you when you enter. That's the point. The tobacco isn't showy, the vanilla isn't dessert-sweet, it's composed, strategic, and stays long after you've left.Chess Club
Vetiver is one of perfumery's most misunderstood notes. Too often it plays a supporting role, the earthiness that grounds a floral or a tobacco blend. Vetiver puts the material front and center.Vetiver
