(Sampled from the mini wipe): Soap scented with grapefruit and muskiness. Not special.

Tried this today, it smells good but it is so light I can barely smell it. I noticed this with the great majority of Fragonard perfumes (today I went to Grasse and smelled almost every Fragonard, Galimard and Molinard – if you are interested, I can tell you that Molinard is by FAR the best, followed by Galimard). It is very light and inoffensive, great For summer, but I’d like to be able to smell a fragrance more on myself, this and many other Fragonards were so light I almost couldn’t smell them (and it wasn’t olfactory fatigue, trust me, I made sure my nose was able to smell first, and the other people with me agreed on this fact).

Vetiver should be listed as a note in the heart. From Fragonard website:
“Note Pyramid:
Top notes elemi, grapefruit, neroli, incense
Heart notes vetiver, balsam fir
Base notes benzoin, cedarwood, musk”
This is my favorite type of scent on a man. Gorgeous, smokey vetiver, with some bright citrus and a little musk. Clean, but not too clean…very manly, very attractive.

If you know how Terre d Hermes smells you will know how this smells but Hermes is a bit longer lasting..

Balmy, sharp vetiver flanked by fir and neroli. The grapefruit might just as well be bergamot, really. The benzoin-incense combo gives it a certain silkiness and it is also decidedly fresh, Fragonard is a great company for pleasing fresh/citrus notes. 100 % unisexy, uncomplicated without being boring.

All I like about a good Vetiver
It does stay crisp for a long time
Later – for me the cedar stands out with soft woods.
Easy to wear including sports is an advantage.
Summer – week end all year round.
It does cary the Fragonard pedigree – a sober note but it will be you carrying the scent and not the other way around.
A house that makes its own juices and creations that did not lose its soul to a big corporation is commendable – full respect.

The opening of Fragonard Vétiver on me is grapefruit and vetiver, with quite a soapy punch. Fortunately, it soon calms down into a creamy woody scent of cedar, fir and musk.
Afterwards, the fragrance doesn’t change much. It just gets warmer and a bit sweeter with time, as benzoin becomes more noticeable especially in the far dry down. Meanwhile, the vetiver behaves more like a supporting role on my skin, adding freshness to the woods throughout the development, which seems a bit odd to a fragrance named Vétiver.
The sillage of Fragonard Vétiver is moderate to soft, and the longevity is around 8 hours. Since the vetiver seems rather shy in this fragrance, I’d hesitate to recommend it as a vetiver fragrance. But as a fresh, creamy woody fragrance, Fragonard Vétiver is a quite versatile and affordable one.

A fresh cologne, cedar then vetiver, very refreshing for summer and though slightly more on the masculine side, I wear it anyway, it’s so pleasant. One has the pleasant sensation of smelling cedar in the air and vetiver on the wrist! The grapefruit just adds an initial zing, it’s not as prominent as the neroli and cedar – but if you want a deep, smoky, rooty vetiver, maybe with patch, this is not it. This is a fresh, spicy, radiantly clean scent, ideal for hot weather and very appropriate for its birthplace. 🙂 xx

Of course there is Vetiver in the composition (it’s webmaster’ s mistake).
An original vetiver not fresh as usually but flowery and leathery.
Very good value for money, addictiv as spray in the bedroom and on pillows !

How beautiful!
An opening of earthy grapefruit, sharp, clean and soapy. It really is only soapy for a minute.
There is clean vetiver and then cedar, cedar and more cedar. Sharp, spicy elemi adds a lot of body to the composition and almost makes my head spin.
A soft incense moves in after about 30 minutes and sticks around. Mysterious yet light. The incense is my favourite part, except that all of it is my favourite part.
Perfectly unisex and would be lovely on a humid summer day.
If anyone knows where I can get some in Canada without a ridiculous mark up or shipping please let me know!
notes listed on my manufacturer sample:

I love this! It is earthy, “rooty”, vegetal, and also substantial. Somewhat more masculine than your “middle of the road” unisex fragrance. I still can wear it. I wear it for energy boost. Often times I pair it with Fragonard’s Fleur d’Oranger. Goes well divine. I adore Fleur d’Oranger, but it is soft, romantic, feminine… In combination with Vetiver it becomes more complicated fragrance that I can wear to work, expect energy and confidence boost and still be romantic and nonoffensive… 🙂

For me, this is green, fresh and discreet; altogether, a class act. I’ve been wearing it a few weeks and find it curiously soothing–perhaps that’s the uplifting green notes relaxing me. (Perhaps that says more about me than the fragrance? The last few years I’ve worn a different man’s cologne, ‘Endymion’ by Penhaligon’s.)

I really like this perfume when i first got it as a sample from fragonard’s website. to me it’s pretty much the smell of a man fresh from the shower and ready to head off to work or some special occasion. the funny aspect about this fragrance is how everyone keeps saying that it doesn’t have vetiver in it. remember, perfumeurs are working off an idea of a theme, regardless if it’s fantasy or not, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that fragrance has to have that particular note in it in order to be called that note. it’s just there interepetation of it.

I believe this is the same as the men’s ‘Vetyver’ repackaged as “Les Naturelles.” In which case it is an extremely pleasant scent. Balmy, warm spicy, citrus, green, fresh describe this fragrance in that order. It is fairly long lasting with mild sillage. And the base notes as stated above is missing vetiver (duh) in addition to benzoin and musk… Mild, lovely everday/every season shower fresh fragrance with decent longevity.

I think there must be a mistake in the notes, how can a fragrance called Vetiver not have vetiver in it??? I hope this gets corrected!
