    When I first got this, I didn’t like it as I thought it smelled of basic generic soap. It needed to settle however after shipping, and now I really love this. It smells mainly of very soapy fresh vetiver (very similar to Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver but ‘white’ in character rather than grey if that makes sense) and white rum (not bay rum) together. I also get a hint of mint, as it has a cooling effect when applied. I don’t really smell anything else in this (no spices or citrus or orange blossom or pepper), and the whole thing ends up smelling like white soap. Overall that’s a very pleasant and masculine scent. Sillage is beastmode (more than 1 spray on this is too much) while longevity is also strong at over 8 hours of strong projection. In fact it got annoying after a while smelling like soap for so long, but I’m sure this would be a good thing on a really hot day. It reminds me a lot of Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver. A better name for Helan’s Vetiver & Rum would be ‘White Vetiver’ due to the white rum and white bar of soap scent. Overall this is a nice unique Italian soapy vetiver fragrance.

    Vetyver & Rum is a thick, boozy, strong, mildly spicy lemon & vetiver fragrance. The vetiver note is earthy and dirty to the point of feeling somewhat rustic but the lemon and spices/lavender adorn it pretty well. The lemon is rather mellow and lacks a sharp zesty edge. I’m not completely sure I detect a strong rum note in this frag as its name suggests but the overall dense feel can be easily described as “boozy”. While a little cloying and not as refined as the top league vetiver scents, it is pretty cool and even weirdly classy, closely reminding the composition of another Italian, the venerable Armani PH, especially its more lemony and less mossy reformulated edition; perhaps, the Armani can be described as a very refined cousin of this Mafioso strongman. And speaking of strength, it is a monster that’s hard to surpass. A single puff will project like crazy and last for many hours, with the dominant vetiver note surviving the longest. This is not a mildly refreshing sunday cologne or an inoffensive generic designer scent, but a scent with somewhat tricky character and rare citrus fragrance that offers so much power. I miss some sophistication and subtlety in it.
