    I’ve put off reviewing this scent for a while because nothing I ever come up with seems to do it justice. Just like most of Kurkdjian’s perfumes, the inspiration is very classic, but the actual finished product has seductively personal touches that take it from “decent” to “truly noteworthy”.
    The barbershop influence is obvious as soon as you spray this perfume on, with anise-pine elements that play nicely with the medicinal undercurrent brought about by the clove notes. The green aquatic character of papyrus amps up this general impression of freshness. Then, as the perfume settles down on your skin, the vetiver turns slightly sweeter, in the way that amber can sometimes be sweet. It remains clean, but it grows richer, more luxurious, with a hint of smoke to keep things interesting. There’s a soapy element to it as well that I’m not sure how to describe. The drydown I would call cosy: it’s warmer, softer, with something comforting-yet-polished about it. I absolutely do not smell any kind of citrus, but I do pick up on a slightly bitter edge that might be brought about by the grapefruit.
    This is very much a “family man” type of perfume: it’s not flashy, or intimidating, or very cerebral, but it’s a solid, comforting presence, and it’s also complex and charming in its own right if you give it a chance. A must-try if you like vetiver.

    Starts off with a Barbershop/pine sort of vibe, but then the pine turns aquatic. It’s a very good “fresh feeling” scent. I’d wear this for quick errands or something but definitely not to make an impression or to gather complements. If I had paid a penny over $50 for this I would have been severely upset. Performance is poor as well. Skin scent after an hour.

    A vetiver for true vetiver lovers. Clean, fresh, and dry in the way only vetiver can be. This leans more masculine than feminine, but could be worn by an edgy woman. It immediately makes me feel cool and fresh when I apply it.

    The entire Elie Saab La Collection Essences line has been composed by the talented Francis Kurkdjian. I am accustomed to smell either powerful and raw or at least somehow vetiver centered scents while acknowledging a label with vetiver on its name. That’s not the case though with Elie Saab’s Vetiver. Essence No.6 begins with some fresh citrus peel top notes paired with violet leaf to prelude the main course. This is a spicy woody event with an evident barbershop ambiance. The lavender is medicinal and quite herbal while a strong clove element stretches the medicinal aspect on one side and the anisic on the other supported by tarragon. The vetiver is slightly smoky and boldly supports the whole composition with the excellent quality of materials allowing the structure to carry its weight for a spruce chypre-like drydown. In general, it works as an imaginary vetiver bridge between Invasion Barbare and New York Intense connecting the suave barbershop air of the former with the classy chypre element of the latter while simultaneously washing them away with cold papyrus smoke. Vetiver is woodier, drier, greener and furthermore a tad sweet and moderately powdery fragrance exuding a warm aromatic aura. Masculine, classic and a great choice for a distinctive everyday signature.

    Tried this and the whole line at the new Elie Saab boutique on Madison Ave in NYC. This was my standout, but the amber, rose, and gardenia were all lovely. Frankly, it’s all Kurkdjian, so ofc it’s all lovely. $260 for what looked like 3 oz. Nice staying power, reminiscent of Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum (the pre-2017 incarnation). Medicinal barbershopy, a different direction for FK.
