I really love this EdC Version of Goutal’s Vetiver. I’ve been looking for a Vetiver scent that was more on the feminine side as most Vetivers are quite masculine and thus just not for me.
I was very happy to find this EdC as it combines some of my favourite notes, – vetiver and iris.
I wonder why there are only vetiver and “spicy notes” listed here? The Goutal website states vetiver, iris and salty notes and that is exactly what I get, a wonderful, simplistic, very refreshing and elegant combination of cool vetiver with a slightly powdery and sweet, but also fresh iris and a little bit of salt.
For me this definitely is a feminine scent and I couldn’t imagine my husband wearing this.
It’s exactly what I was looking for for a long time, an elegant and fresh vetiver scent, that is still very feminine and Annick Goutal gave me just that – love it!

Sorry, but this is so weak and such a shallow scent. I love EDC’s, but this is silly. A very shallow vetiver in the beginning, then a decent citrus. 20 minutes and it’s gone.
Just go buy Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDT.

A salty vetiver, with a touch of pepper. It smells natural and dry. In the first 10 minutes the salty notes make it a bit harsh, but don’t worry, it will abate. Then, you will smell vetiver, and vetiver and vetiver.
It’s very polite sent and can be easily worn almost in any occasion. I have to say that it suits more on a mature and confidence man. I get decent performance from it. Its longevity on my skin is about 8 hours and projection is decent.
I like it.
Update:
It’s a nice scent, and get even better if it be worn on chest in the warmer months. Let the salty dried vetiver leaves to soak in sweat. They may get alive 🙂

A glass of mineral water with some vetiver roots swimming inside. Very nice, nothing wow.

This is the new Vetiver in EDC concentration. Being a fun of the EDT for years I was eager in trying this. Truthfully the scent is there and the unique accord that I had so much loved in the EDT is intact. A bit fresher of course with some of the darker aspects trimmed but still immediately recognizable from its sharp iodine opening and spicy heart. I grabbed a 200ml bottle and went away.
While at the store I tried some other Goutals including Songes. When I reached home I took out the paper strips and arrayed them. Then I smelled again and in my surprise I mistook Vetiver for Songes. It seems that after an hour a short of white floral accord comes out of Vetiver. That was astounding since there is no white floral note included in the fragrance. I grabbed the EDT and test it too, the same thing happened. The white floral accord reemerged.
In sum if you were a fun of the EDT and its feral, uncompromising beauty pull the trigger without hesitations.

Were I to give this a Luca Turin-style two-word review, it would be “vinyl vetiver.” That’s all I got, folks.

This vetiver is a very plasent vetiver that its easy to wear and good for any occasion. It opens up with a citrusy vetiver floral note. It smells a bit like sprite with the vetiver note. I think its a buy and versatile for any moment.

A wonderful antitode to oppressive heat and humidity.
What I appreciate is that despite being a cologne, here soft doesn’t mean wimpy. An opening of zingy lemon sets a bright tone and alerts the senses. The vetiver that follows is strongly aromatic: flushed by the moisture of sea air and then dried out under a baking sun, leaving behind salt-crusted roots with a faint whiff of smoke, as if on the verge of catching fire. There’s also a sprinking of iris – no more than a bit-part player but a worthy inclusion as a mellowing agent to wind down the day.
If you want to trade the office for the beach, pounding the pavement for strolling across warm, powdery sand; still air for a wafting breeze; or neon lights for a dazzling outdoor sun…
…Annick Goutal’s Vetiver Cologne is just the ticket.
A summer staple.

this is the Goutal Eau de Cologne Vetiver, and not the Eau de Toilette Vetiver. The two are quite different (not just in concentration)

Funny, I find it too feminine for a man to wear. I have this one on my left wrist right now, and Frederic Malle’s “Vetiver Extraordinaire” on my right wrist, and I find the latter far more elegant and suitable for a man. This one dissolves after some time into an undefinable scent which hasn’t much vetiver feel to it. Not recommended for someone who seeks a good vetiver fragrance, neither men nor women.

Interesting fragance from Goutal.
Opens with the tipical Goutal citrus opening but it fades very fast. Then comes a natural vetiver that stay all the rest of the fragance with light floral and green notes.
Too natural, well made and classic.
Longevity is very good (more than 7 hours) and projection is low.
scent: 7.5/10
longevity: 8/10
sillage: 4/10
