2 – Super fresh vetiver, almost citrusy in and of itself. Nutmeg is powdery and works to keep the cypress from coming across as too astringent. Not my favorite sandalwood that I’ve come across but works to ground the scent.
This, as pretty much all of this brand I’ve tried, is excellent.
Much too masculine for me, which I knew it would be, but if you’re a femme-identified person who can do vetiver, I think it would be worth sampling.
There is something very comforting about this. It smells almost dense up close, but then is a light airy smell from a foot away.

Very green and I also get Vetiver with nutmeg. I like it but am used to their other line which has much better projection and longevity. Not bottle worthy for the price in my opinion.

Much like the other Note di Profumum fragrances I’ve tried, it is hard to find any fault with this. I smell quality and, as @landshark points out, I enjoy the fresh-without-citrus-or-aquatics vibe I’m getting.
But… I can’t help but feel underwhelmed. There’s just a flatness to this lineup that I can’t shake.

Vet G16 is third of my three samples to try of the new, not-widely-distributed Profumum Roma collection of six fragrances, Note di Profumum.
Also for sale, like the rest of the collection, at Parfumeria Benegas, which corroborates the Profumum website’s note list of nutmeg, cypress, vetiver, sandalwood.
Certainly the name suggests that the blend will be vetiver-hearvy, and I can generally corroborate its accuracy from the opening into hours of dry down. It’s woody, sure, but also green, with a hint of the spices and sweets that come with the nutmeg. Cypress lends its green/woody hand, and the vetiver itself isn’t ashy or earthy but rather fresh, as in Roja Vetiver Extrait, so the whole blend is pleasant and year-round friendly but not without some bass in the form of the sandalwood, which gives Vet G16 some roots, in my estimation.
Vet G16, like Amante, has the benefit of being fresh without a citrus-heavy note breakdown that might otherwise be relatively fleeting (Acqua Viva, though, defies this, and all logic).
At $294 for 100ml plus taxes/shipping, this is not unreasonably priced for what it is: a good performer like Luce (albeit not quite as good as Amante) but a robust versatile scent that is four-season-friendly.
