Description
Tom Ford launched Grey Vetiver in 2009 as a masculine woody-spicy scent in Eau de Perfume concentration. In 2014, he introduces its fresher, more luminous and lighter version—Grey Vetiver Eau de Toilette. Tom Ford described it as the olfactory equivalent of a navy blue blazer, a nice watch, or brogues shoes.
“Enlivened with compelling warmth and heightened freshness, the cool nature of vetiver is revealed with new dimension in this citrus woody, eau fraiche fragrance.”
The creator of this citrus-woody composition is perfumer Harry Fremont. The fragrance opens with citrus notes of winter lemon, grapefruit, bergamot and orange blossom. The heart includes aromatic notes of Thai basil together with orris root, laid on the base of vetiver, amber wood, oak moss and musk.
The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

I agree the presentation for this fragrance sucks but so does Vetiver. I just can’t stomach it. The earthiness repulses me. I do recognize it’s a good fragrance though.
If you’d like to smell the same for $25 I would strongly recommend you purchase Bvlgari soir. It’s also quality. Trust me.

Nice composition and nice fragrance but very poor presentation-poor longevity(1-2 hours) and very soft sillage.

You may try Sel de Vetiver by The Different Company and see whether it works for You…

A fresh and powerful scent for a man. If you want a fresh masculine scent thats versatile, this is a good buy. Suitable for t-shirt-jeans, a casual attire or business, suit-tie. You will get noticed. If the Eau de parfum is too strong, get this one.
jambo12 – :
What to say… One of the vetiver pillars. A good reference scent for vetiver.
Thst being said, I would never buy a bottle given all the amazing vetiver scents out there. There are many that are cheaper or better, or both!
Guerlain vetiver , encre noir, vétiver fatal, Mugler cologne, all are worth trying.
Worth a smell or a sample, but not a buy.
PS : has anyone done a vetiver with a sea, or salty aquatic note?

This is one of TFs best, Top 5. I never been a fan of his line, but this one is one of the few, Its Very clean/fresh, masculine, and distinguished. It will get noticed from the mature audience for sure,compliments, and some of the younger ones.
babaiy – :
Thin, lemony vetiver. This is fine, it’s nice, but it’s not my favorite vetiver. Better vetivers include, IMO, Vetiver Fatal by Atelier Cologne, Vetyverio by Diptyque, and French Lover Bois D’Orage by Frederic Malle.
nachalnika1974 – :
This is a soapier version of Grey Vetiver EDP. Comparing the two versions with Guerlain Vetiver, I’d say that EDT has more similarities due to its herbal bitterness and a relative lack of sweetness, while EDP is sweeter, woodier and spicier.
dix1998 – :
This is so sexless it could almost be the signature fragrance of a Christian abstinence camp.
It’s vetiver, but a million miles away from the punchier Guerlain, Lalique or Creed. Fine if that’s your need, but for me, I like my greens a little mossier, a bit smokier.
At first spray I get a little soft citrus, crushed leaves and a clean, unsweet floral that could be anything, and soon becomes nothing. It’s not unpleasant, to be fair, but it isn’t very interesting either.
After a while, I get an odd note of hot plastic, followed by lime-ish window cleaner. Then the citrus bows out, the vetiver settles and flattens, but it doesn’t smell real; more like a plastic plant found in a corporate office.
At this point, I’m switched off. Delicate, polite and generic I can deal with – there’s a place for fragrance that doesn’t shout – but once it goes weird I’m not into it.
Tereza – :
My WorkFragranceBro gifted me a sample. Vetiver, lots of citrus, maybe a little oakmoss. Smells clean; the citrus almost smells candy like. GV is very similar to Guerlain’s Vetiver. Grey Vetiver has much more citrus and much less oakmoss, no tobacco or earthy nuance. Although more old fashioned Guerlain’s offering is more interesting to me. To my nose there’s a Windex, floor cleaner vibe with Grey Vetiver.
Feels more formal than casual. Most ages can wear this well. Masculine, fine for work and not very sexy. Projection and sillage are average. Lasted a solid eight hours and lingered softly for a while after that. A scent for all but the hottest or coldest days of the year. Not a bad fragrance but a little plain, safe. GV doesn’t have much character. Performance is good and price isn’t terrible. Not for me though; I like the bottle!
Алик – :
The Contemporary Vetiver.
I absolutely adore the burst of zingy lemon on first spray.
Then the vetiver creeps in, just gorgeous.
For me, Grey Vetiver EDT is fresher, smoother and more 2018, compared to the legendary Guerlain Vetiver, which smells slightly old man and dated.
On my skin, the EDT actually lasts longer than the EDP – I know, it’s weird.
And as they both smell very similar, there is no point having both of them.
P.s
If you spray a little on your clothes, the lemon top note lasts much longer.
Mefgr975bedyWelty – :
This eau de toilette is one of the best refreshing fragrances for daily market use.
Excellent opening, citrus, refreshing, herbal, with a floral point that is noticeable and of course, as the name suggests: “vetiver”, this feels good during drying, has a touch tinted by a soft musk that makes the drying case in wonder leather.
The duration is moderate and the wake is also, so it is very suitable for daytime use.
Gray Vetiver does not look so gray to me, it is much more multicolored than its title says, it also seems to me to be stylish, masculine, chic, classic that is not antiquated, that under that Mediterranean scent enjoys a perfect balance and a fine aroma and for my wonderful taste
Rating: 8.5

If like me you were wondering whether to get the EDT or the EDP, here’s a little help. It can be answered by one simple question: how big a fan are you of soapy scents. The EDP is much more dark and soapy while the EDT has more citrus and is cleaner. I got samples of both and sprayed them side by side. For me, the EDP was a little too soapy for my skin, but my roommate preferred it over the EDT. The difference between us is that I prefer citrus and he prefers soapy. So, if you are someone who does not like soapy scents or knows that they don’t work on their skin then the EDT is probably the better choice. If you’re someone who prefers a stronger scent and doesn’t mind or loves a soapy cologne, then the EDP is your baby. The best thing to do is to give both of them a try side by side and see which one works best for you. With either one you will get a great and interesting vetiver scent that will garner many compliments.
Dulia – :
This is very similar to Creed’s Original Vetiver, but for a quarter the price. In fact, I would prefer this one over the Creed on the basis of scent alone. This is incredibly fresh, but the thing I find conflicting about vetiver fragrances is their resemblance to many of the hand soaps found in public washrooms. It’s not the fault of vetiver per se, but the fault of convention. Vanilla and pine are problematic for the same reason because we associate them with car air-fresheners. Rose is particularly offensive because it conjures up memories of your dad’s freshly Lysoled bathroom. Vetiver is a fine ingredient, but as a stand-alone it carries associations that I just can’t seem to shake. That said, I’m wearing it now and finding it very pleasant and fresh.

I could not decide between grey vetiver EDP and grey vetiver EDT -after several testings- so I decided to buy 50ml of each at the same time.
I like them both very much but have found that grey vetiver EDT has grown on me and is the one use far more often than the EDP.
Санек231 – :
This perfume is similar to oscar by Oscar de la Renta
ajukaabik – :
I use grey vetiver EDT, Guerlain vetiver extreme and Terre’dHermes EDT as my vetiver based colognes.
Non of them is for complements, they represent masculine conservative and simple fragrances for business use.
Grey vetiver EDT is the most wearable among them. It is better than thant the EDP version in my opinion although they are almost similar. This one is cleaner, more lemony and less soapy.
Projects very well with elegant and sophisticated scent bubble with average longevity.
excimaartibre – :
Eau de parfum and eau de toilette smell very similar. To a novice they cant smell the difference. Either one is a great buy and I think it would be hard to dislike this. Smells very professional and older but I think any age can appreciate this.
Deroxwvaqv – :
Opens with a very refreshing lemon.Though I’m not a fan of vetiver,it does not disturb.It is not a silent scent but do not except any depth from him.Can be preferred for hot weather.This is mo after a 5ml EDT sample.

A Balanced Citrus Vetiver…
I really like this version of Grey Vetiver. I actually find the original a little formal (still a good thing) although I find this more versatile for warmer and hot weather.
I love the brightness of the grapefruit, lemon and bergamot. I think that pairing citrus with vetiver works and, although it’s not an original combination, it’s very well done here. I think that for versatility I would recommend this over the Eau de Parfum, however for value for money (in terms of lasting power etc), then the original lasts longer. I would suggest wearing this version year round as it’s very versatile. For very formal wear and colder/winter weather the Eau de Parfum. I tend to like citrus very much and I love the way it’s done here (it even almost reminds me of a cross between the original Grey Vetiver and Terre d’Hermès). The original is both more woody and more spicy, however this has it’s own charm. I would suggest it for any age range and all seasons. A good offering from Tom Ford.
xyliganz – :
I really like this scent in both the EDT and EDP versions. They’re both different. The EDT is airy, more citrus and a bit more floral than the EDP. Also the vetiver is not as sweet or as deep in the EDT.
This from a guy who did not even like Vetiver scents other than the old Guerlain Vetiver to some extent.
bns768JeomiWogkig – :
I really like this version of TF’s Grey vetiver; the EDP was too strong. This is just a nice, clean scent starting out a little too citrusy, but after a few minutes, I notice the clean vetiver breaking through, very nice. What amazes me is how different fragrances act on different people. I read about projection and longevity and for some, it strong and lasts while others claim weak and evaporating. For me, it lasts and lasts and lasts. Its a great value for the money and stays with my from sunrise to sunset and beyond. 2 sprays, 3 at the VERY most and your all set.
gjw355Diobtetty – :
Grey Vetiver EdT is the recipe of love for me. Vetiver and Orange Blossom is a match made in heaven (same as Sandalwood and Jasmine imho) and with noble Orris as the ever successful match-maker what could go wrong? A nicely executed fanfare of citrus in the opening and a subtle base of Musk and Oakmoss with a touch of sandalwood complete the picture. Everything about this composition sings of happiness and grace…aaah, if only it sung a bit louder…
Grey Vetiver EdT brings to mind an old love of mine, the long discontinued Vetyver by Roger et Gallet which got me through adolescence, they are so similar in fact that we could be talking about a reincarnation. However, I think GV EdT is subtler and doesn’t quite reach the performance of the old drugstore classic (an oddity for its price)
I fell in love with the middle stage of GV EdT development for its perfect balance between cold and warm, between ethereal and earthy… so the poor performance is really bugging me because I’d love to be able to smell it on my skin for hours – I did not regret my purchase however. I do enjoy its company for as long as it lasts.

j.c.b. – :
I’m really liking this. I’ve smelled the EDP, but I haven’t worn it enough to form an opinion. They do seem pretty similar though.
I find this to be a little more wearable than, let’s say, Guerlain Vetiver. The Guerlain is great, but I find it to be a little too much at times.
Grey Vetiver smells very fresh and casual, and it’s one of my favourites in the genre. On me it seems to last 12 + hours, and projection is soft/moderate. People around you notice it, but it’s not loud. I find it similar to Vetiver Extraordinaire by FM.
The SA said that GV EDT is going to be discontinued, but I hope not!
massimli – :
I have recently purchased this G V EDT. It opens with very nice natural smelling lemon/Grapefruit and bergamott, with hints of vetiver floating around. as this scent dries down the citruss notes go to the background and the main note Vetiver comes into play and pretty much stays that way for the duration with hints of light spice/oak moss and a green basil note which smells very natural. What i like best is the fact that the citrus notes always stay for the whole duration.
The scent lasted 10 hours on my skin with two sprays to the neck and 1 on the chest.
This scent can be worn year round. It is one of the cleanest and modern smelling vetiver’s i’v come across.
Quality is very high which is expected from Tom Ford. I do prefer this vetiver over Guerlain vetiver which to my nose has too much tobacco.
Age range for this scent 25 and up give or take. Sprayer is average. I prefer this version over the EDP as it smells a lot more fresh and clean and also lasts very long so longevity is not an issue. i have tried this during summer as well as winter and i get better longevety in the cooler months. summer time i get around 8 hours and during the cooler seasons i get an easy 10 which i find strange. This would be perfect for a work scent and can be used casually as well.
Mishada – :
I’ve tried Grey Vetiver before and enjoyed it. Today it was hot and humid in Kansas City so I used some from a sample I received from Sephora. A bit linear but the heat really brought it to life. I enjoyed the smell of it all through my workday. So much so that I bid on a bottle (new and sealed in box) and got it for a mere $53. I’m pumped! I think this will be a regular in my summer rotation along with Terre D’Hermes and Royal Mayfair. I also have Guerlain Vetiver but prefer the Tom Ford.
Butslusasauck – :
I think this could be a pretty versatile fragrance. I can see a man in a suit and tie and I could see a man in shorts and t-shirt on the beach wearing this. I was not always fond of vetiver but to me this one is well done. Similar to Encre Noir Sport but less floral. I really do enjoy this fragrance on a hot day. I would say that this does really appeal to most of the crowd but not everyone. All in all I would say this is a safe buy if you are a fan of vetiver. If you are not, you may want to steer clear.
8/10
VIP – :
Clean, cool and businesslike. A masterful blend of quality components. That’s what I like about this EDT. After a rather powerful citric opening, the scent is quickly calmed down with herbal notes, and then Mr. Vetiver steps in, accompanied by Messrs. Oakmoss, Musk and Amber. Beautiful rooty-woody drydown. Projection and longevity are only moderate but quite sufficient for a day at the office.
Worth every penny, recommended!

تام فورد گري وتيور..
براي اينكه ببينيم گري وتيور چيه اول بايد وتيوري كه در اون استفاده شده رو توصيف كنيم. وتيوري كه در اينجا بكار رفته شبيه وتيور لاليك انك نواغ نيست. وتيور انك نواغ به وتيور بوربن معروفه. دودي تره. ولي وتيور گري وتيور با طراوت تره. خنك تره و يكم ميوه اي تره . به بهانه ي گري وتيور بيايم ويكي پدياي وتيور رو هم كه خيلي ناقصه تصحيح كنيم. انواع وتيور اينان:
١-ايندين: وحشي و خشمگين. تاريك. كه رگه هايي از قهوه و شيرين بيان توش حس ميشه و شديدا انگار يه لايه غليظ از فلفل نقاط خاليش رو پوشوندن.
٢- اندونزي: بوي كپك مانند و تا حدي شيريني داره كه يه مقدار ميره به سمت بوي گوشت خامي كه روش فلفل سياه ريختي
٣- ماداگاسكار: دوديه. و بوش البته ميره به سمت ليمو شيرازي خودمون. تصور كنين كه بوي دود خيلي ملايمي با بوي ليمو مخلوط بشه. چه شود. آدم بيدار ميشه.
٤-
بوربن: توضيح زيادي نداره. ويتور لاليك نواغ اينه. دودي
٥- هياتي: خيلي با طراوت. انگار ريشه ي مرطوب گياه رو دارين بو ميكشين. خنك و تميز و شاداب.
گري وتيور يه كوچولو گرمه. خاكيه. يكم ميوه ايه . و خيليا ميگن بوي ليمو شيرين يا هويج ميده. يكم اسپايسيه، شادابه خيلي و لطيف و تميزه. بويي كه از زمين موقع شروع بارون باريدن مياد بخاطر از بين رفتن ساپروفيت ها و باكتري هاي خاك زيه كه دارن ميميرن. اين اون بو نيست. بوي وقتيه كه بارون دو روز تموم باريده و الان تموم شده. بوي بارون بعد از سوختن يه كنده ي درخت توي به جنگله. شادابي جنگل رو حس ميكنيم ولي بوي اون كنده سوخته هم مياد. دراي داونش دوديه و احساس چوبي بودن داره. منتها باد مياد و بوي دود رو ميبره و نميزاره زياد اذيت بشيم. اين بوش شبيه وقتيه كه بعد از يه هفته سرماخوردگي خيلي بد اومدين بيرون و حااتون خوب شده و همه جا بارون باريده و الان تموم شده و شما دارين از اين هوا لذت ميبرين در حاليكه احساس سلامتي ميكنين. نسخه پرفيوم غلظت بالايي از اين وتيور داره استفاده ميكنه. پس طبيعيه كه گرم تر باشه. پس با همين نتيجه گيري متونيم بگيم براي هواهاي خيلي گرم تابستون مناسب نيست. و توايلت براي اون موقع ها بهتره. ولي بزارين خيال خودمو راحت كنم. توايلت نخرين. از تام فورد بعيد بود ساخت توايلتش. مگه ميشه يه كاناپه چرم رو از يه اتاق (هر چقدم شيك) بيرون كشيد و بازم گفت اتاق شيكه؟ بنظر من نميشه. من توايلت رو اصلا پيشنهاد نميكنم. و اينجا راجع به پرفيوم صحبت ميكنيم. نسخه هاي سوييسي هم هميشه يه امتياز از امريكاييا كمتر ميگيرن. ولي تفاوت در همين حده نه بيشتر.
در كنار چيزايي كه در رابطه با گري وتيور گفتيم جا داشت به رايحه ابتداييشم اشاره ميكرديم كه توي نتهاي اعلام شده از طرف تام فورد بايد منتظر گريپ فروت باشيم اما من از گريپ فروت فقط طراوتش رو احساس كردم و شخصا بوي شيرين تر و خنك تري احساس كردم. كه بوي گريپ فروت نبود.
اگر يك معلم عطرسازي بخواد به دانش آموزانش وتيور رو درس بده يكي از بهترين كيس ها بين تمامي انواع عطرها همين وتيوره. در واقع شخصيت و كيفيت لازم رو به تمامي داره.
كاراكترشو قبلا هم گفتم. يه جوون ٢٨ تا ٣٥ ساله ي اجتماعي، با سطح اجتماعي بالا، خوش پوش (نه تيپ هاي دامادي يا جشنواره اي) با ست لباس روشن مثل يه شلوار كتان كرم و يه پيرهن ياسي يا طوسي اتو كشيده تميز و يه ظاهر عينكي و اصلاح شده ي خيلي خيلي مرتب . اين البته نظر منه. گري وتيور كاراكتري قابل احترام، مبادي آداب و تحصيلكرده داره. استاد دانشگاهي جوون، يه دندونپزشك جوون يا يه دانشجوي پي اچ دي مرتب. با اين عطرها بايد دقيق ومنظم و مرتب و شكيل حرف زد ورفتار كرد.
نسخه اوليه ش رو من هنوزم دارم. ماندگاريش بسيار عالي و بالاست و پخش بوش خيلي خيلي عالي. توايلتش پخش و ماندگاري پايين تري داره و من اصلا پيشنهادش نميكنم. بوي ليمو مانند توي نسخه توايلتش رو من دوست ندارم و كيفيت جالبيم نداره.
اميدوارم توليدات جديدش اصلاح شده باشن.
چهار فصله. و اينكه يه خانم ازش استفاده كنه نميدونم واقعا. تا الان هرگز بهش فكر نكردم و نديدم هم كه خانمي ازش استفاده كرده باشه.
من بهش از ١٠ نمره ي شيش و نيم تا هفت ميدم.
مشابهش بين عطراي فيك پيدا نميشه خدا روشكر و ميتونين با خيال راحت بدون ترس از خز شدن ازش استفاده كنين.
يه رقيب هم داره كه خيلي حرفه ايه: وتيور گرلن.
از بين وتيورهاي خنك ميتونيم بگيم نوبل وتيور از چوپارد هم عطر خوب و خوش كلاسيه. پس اگه امكان تست داشتين اين سه تارو بريد تست كنيد ببينيد كزوم رو دوست دارين.
Silence – :
Grey Vetiver EDT is a beautiful vetiver citrus bomb. So much different than it’s brother Grey Vetiver EDP. The EDT leans more towards a very clean citrus/ vetiver. A burst of freshness. It’s more of an every day/office fragrance. I can smell it on my skin and has great longevity.
iiiiiiiiii – :
It’s not very original, but it is very pleasant and easy to wear. The citrus notes are not too clean, which is a good point for me. The longevity is average.
Overall, for someone who is interested in perfumes, it’s nothing exceptional, but it’s very nice for others. I’d buy it as a present for a young man !
dobri72 – :
An update to the classic Vetiver cologne to arrive at a modern masterpiece. Brilliant from the opening to the deep depths of the base notes. If you are searching for a cheaper version of this for everyday use, I find David Beckham Instinct is similar.
Klofipol – :
Just like A lemon cologne! Nothing special’
bahyi – :
I have been searching for a fresh lemon scent for the last few weeks. Today I went to a Douglas store and the saleswoman asked me to test this one. She told me this was really nice and a woman could wear it. I also smelled the vetiver from Guerlain, it was also good but I chose TF. It is one of the best vetiver scents I smelled so far.
Stileatty – :
Tom Ford’s Vetiver EDT is a breath of fresh air! I have been a loyal user of Guerlain’s Vetiver in the 90’s, a Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire for the past few years now. While TF’s Grey Vetiver EDP is much more on the woody & earthy side, I much prefer the minty-citrus”ness” of the EDT. A personal taste. It is crisp like a winter wind, refreshing like limpide, pristine waters in which citrus and earthy roots would have soaked in. That is the image I’m getting wearing Grey Vetiver on these last cold days of autumn.
I always prefer vetiver fragrances in winter, especially when the temperature goes way below zero. Then, and only then I get a clear rendition of what vetiver is all about. Icy winds and snow and the smell of vetiver emerging from your scarf announcing the richness and complexity of this pure & delinquent smell. Cause vetiver can play tricks. It can be refined but it can also be harsh and turn sour. In TF’s Grey Vetiver EDT I found a side of vetiver that I love, clear, green and pure while Malle/Ropion’s Vetiver is earthy, strong, a little dirty, which I also love. No need to find a winner, I prefer enjoying all the aspects of it. Vetiver is one of the most used ingredient in perfumery, but when it is so well done… it deserves mention! Longevity is excellent (7-8 hrs) and sillage is moderate.
In a few words…
The EDP is a woody-earthy vetiver while the EDT is a citrus-green-woody vetiver.
petko – :
I’ve really fallen for vetivers lately. Unfortunately, this one falls a little flat. The citrus opening is a bit like a mist hovering over the vetiver without making any contact. The two never really come together. But, you know, I really wouldn’t kick it out of bed. A testament to the quality of the ingredients?
sssDemoNsss – :
I got a sample of this, and I really enjoy citrus and vetiver fragrances. However, I already own Guerlain Homme L’Eau Boisee and Encre Noire Sport, and I don’t feel like the Grey Vetiver edt really stands out enough from those two to be worth a purchase. I still need to try the edp someday.
klas – :
This scent has a nice, very clean dry down, but the salty citrus opening notes really don’t do it for me. Still, overall I find it to be a handsome, sophisticated fragrance.
gven81 – :
this one to me was an initial blast of overwhelming nauseating lemon. Then a vetiver comes but it is on the weaker side really. This to me was simple and forgettable. Mugler Cologne is a whole other deal but it’s vetiver done in a much better way. Too bad it is weak. Overall, Tom Fords allure is not something I can attest to, to be honest. I have tested 2-3 of them and I feel they do not hit the mark at least for my nose.
alexkorp – :
Clean clean Vetiver. That’s what I get from Grey Vetiver EDT from Tom Ford. Starts off with a blast of citrus and then the vetiver takes over. It’s so clean and sophisticated but not old. I get great longevity with it and the projection is good for my skin. 7/10.
polka12 – :
This is an extremely pleasant out of the shower smell. I detect lemon. The only thing that turns me off is the mature hint of powder in the drydown. It goes from daytime citrus to this heavy, resinous, vetiver drydown. It turns too dressy. And, sour. Not a good sour, a mildly unpleasant sour.
893992290 – :
It’s cacharel….Fantastico!!! I love it
accinuizess – :
I find this one of the most pleasant smells that I’ve experienced on a fragrance. The opening citrus dominated tones are, I agree, slightly disorientating, but as soon as it settles in and dries down, it becomes very well balanced; I sense the vetiver all the way through its ultimate evaporation. The heart and base is simply wonderful. Furthermore the old fashioned bottle design really appeals to me.
Definitely a keeper, and for me usable all year round, since it has relatively powerful sillage (I have it on my wrists and can smell it when walking a pretty long while after applying). As for longevity: I apply it on the early evening and it is still there the next morning when I wake up.
artemchus – :
It smells exactly how it has to smell. A beautiful earthy oily vetiver from the EDP version now mixed with a sour and modern citruses. After some hours EDT becomes closer to EDP on skin. The sillage and longevity at least on my skin are awesome, identical to that for EDP.
lexundusmeece – :
This is a big no from me, I thought Chopard’s Noble Vetiver was the weakest form of Vetiver, but I’ve found a successor, Tom Ford’s Vetiver is a joke, lasted about 2 hours, initial spritz of Vetiver, and then nothing it had all but gone, a drab lemony smell lingered, pass me the Guerlain Vetiver, the king of Vetiver fragrances remains unchallenged. 2/5
st.bator – :
testing it as i’m speaking. From the initial spray i get a citrusbomb. It reminds me of 4711. After half an hour i can detect a little bit vetiver but not much.
It also got much weaker and earthy and it falls a little flat.
What i,m missing is the spicyness from the original.
I think this might be ok for soft earthy citrus lovers or people that find the original too spicy and too vetiver but not for me. I find the edp much much better with the razorblade spicyness and the vetiver that rules.
Thiss is a pass for me.
The name is innapropriate for this. It should be called grey sausage or something like that. very average. 2/5
