This is another outstanding offering from phlur
For me this is similar to TF Grey vetiver but it has a sharp yet elegant greenness that stays underneath the fragrance, but is apparent in the opening.
I find this as a elegant and refined throwback to vetiver fragrances of the past.
Although this fragrance is too old for me and more suitable for 35 plus men, I find this fragrance reminding me of dark moss in the winter and spray starch for ironing and it works oddly enough. I believe this to be a talented mix of green irish tweed’s opening with TF grey vetiver EDP
For the refined gentleman who loves terre d’hermes or dunhill icon and Creed GIT

I did not think Greylocke would be to my taste given my love/hate relationship with vetiver dominant scents. However, for some strange reason this read like a “green gourmand” on my skin. There is something edible, almost “chewy” (for lack of a better word) about it….similar to how my skin interprets Angel Muse. Each time I wore it to the office I received a multitude of compliments, so much so I needed to get a full bottle. I realized that the vetiver is artfully blended with supporting notes. It also made me realize that if done properly vetiver and I can actually “get along” as many of my other “loves” also have vetiver in them (Reglisse Noire, vintage Cristalle and Tibetan Mountain Temple). At the moment Greylocke is in my signature scent category as I reach to it so often in the morning before I leave the house.

This is a strong and bold vetiver and pine scent. Very manly and gentlemen like. Not for the ambroxan loving crowd. Very unique and after checking out the review from Redolessence I do appreciate but it’s not my thing. Long lasting with great sillage though.

Greylocke opened with distinct evergreen and sea salt, and has largely retained those accords over the following hours. It has deepened into a smooth, rich, citrusy woodsy scent, very reminiscent of the Northeast indeed – a gray, cool, windswept day near the treeline on the rocky coast. I was surprised by and deeply pleased with the small insert with notes on the fragrance’s development that cited Jay Gatsby – underneath its natural and casual style, this scent indeed has a voice full of money.
In terms of comparisons, Greylocke reminds me greatly of Hermès Eau des Merveilles in its ambergris glory, just a bit cooler and greener, with the deep darkness of vetiver. If Merveilles is being out on the sandy beach, Greylocke is being a bit further upland and inland, standing on the rocky ridge overlooking cool, whitecapped waters. Often with eco-friendly and/or health conscious fragrances one runs into fragrances without too much depth or development – this one has no concerns there. It’s deep and evocative without being overwrought – soulful, if you will – and very much has a sense of well-earned leisure about it. It could transition easily from workplace to vacation.
The sillage and longevity both are very good, lasting and present but not overwhelming. My husband checked Greylocke out as well and remarked that he feels like he would have chosen it for himself. As a female, I do feel like I could wear this with confidence – which is a bit surprising and certainly quite satisfying. It’s the kind of fragrance that every time I catch a hint of it in the air I find myself momentarily searching for what smells so good.

Fresh done right! An amazing green scent. To sum this fragrance up, it smells as though you smashed up vetiver, various citrus on to a rock. Sounds strange I know, but, smells stunning to me. Perfect for anyone working in an office, or loves a green fragrance. Last for 5-6 hours and has a soft 1 to 1/2 hour projection. Please sniff this one out, I think a lot of men and women will enjoy this bad boy. this is my favorite Vetiver fragrance. Amazing forest in a bottle fragrance.

Bought the sampler, enjoyed it so much and splurged on a full bottle. Comes in 50ml only and will set you back $70 if you ask for a discount.
I do not understand the note breakdown at all here and it’s very misleading since this hasn’t really been reviewed.
Begins with a petrol smell like Dior Fahrenheit, settles nicely into an earthy vetiver, and develops citrus + saltiness at the end that blends well with the vetiver. Smells very similar to TF Grey Vetiver and beats out it’s longevity.

For me, it smells like a slightly sophisticated version of OFF.
The notes under the insect repellant part of it are intriguing, especially the bergamot, but I just can’t get past the turpentine-ey side of the heavy pine smell.
It does have longevity, though – if you like it, you’ll be getting a good value.

I’m a sucker for woods, and this is extremely woody, therefore it follows that I would love it. It’s a cedary scent with a little pine too. I get something a bit tangy that I always associate with vetiver or papyrus. So while there is pine here, it doesn’t smell like an evergreen forest to me. It reminded me of Timbuktu–woody and like dry grasses. It’s not a particularly complex scent, and it’s linear, but when it comes to these super woody fragrances, that is fine by me!
I don’t find this masculine, but very unisex. Woods are one of those things that I just think belong on both men and women.
Notes from the PHLUR website: Sea salt, bergamot, birch leaf, silver vetiver and pine resin

Update: I purchased a FB. I fell for it because it is just about the perfect wood scent for me. Nicely balanced, not too much of any particular facet–not too tangy, not overly astringent, just the right amound of resin, no pepper, and smells like a real tree. Also does not cause massive headaches like many perfumes with chemicals do. I feel that those around me may not like it because it smells like straight-up TREE. But nevermind them, I wear it 100% for me, and there’s nothing I love more than smelling trees around me 24/7, and this really fits the bill if you are eccentric in that regard like I am. Now my signature!

Very heavy & chemically. Masculine. Will NOT wash off no matter how I try and what I use. It’s giving me a headache. I am afraid to try their other samples. Really pissed off, actually! They are all marketing and hype. Its cheap, chemical perfume. You will not smell any botanicals.
abazj – :
So did not work at all for me. Quite tinny on the initial note, migraine almost immediately. Then lingered to smell much like a pine scented car freshener. Would NOT wash off!!! I tried. Pretty package, nicely written theme. I would advise anyone thinking of this to opt for the sample first. I would be quite hesitant to shell out $85 for a pine scented air freshener. One of those cheap ones you find at that. Ugh.

Love, love, love. This smells really close to the masterpiece Guerlain Vetiver. However, and I may get nailed to the wall for this, It smells much better. Really nice vetiver/pine note that settles down to this green clean smell. I am really impressed by this one. I have a coworker that is a tough critic of all my fragrances and she actually stopped me at work and said, “wait a minute. what do have on? That smells really good”. Enough said.
9.5/10

Greylocke has a heavy masculine scent. On me it was just as heavy and strong after a few hours wear, as when I first sprayed it. I was hoping for so much more from this, but sadly smelled rather generic, to me.
res_pect – :
The pine in this one opens and closes within a minute and this turns into something incredibly salty and citrus on my skin. This remains very salty and citrusy with just the tiniest hints of pine throughout the day. This is definitely a bright and beachy fragrance that would work well for anyone at any age.
ApantyVunny – :
This scent is definitely woodsy. Although it is unisex, it seems more on the masculine side to me. Unlike the other reviewer I haven’t had an issue with longevity. In fact, I was hoping it would fade fast, but hours later even after trying to wash some off, it’s still clinging to me.
I don’t hate the scent, I just do not like it on me. I was hoping for more of the sea salt and bergamot smells that it advertises but I did not smell either of those.
VinTagE – :
The scent is a pleasant, fresh pine, suitable for men or women. After an hour, though, I can barely smell it on my wrist. Not sure if it’s just my chemistry — but on me, this has NO longevity.
