Description
Vetiver Bourbon is a part of the basic collection of Monotheme, named Classic. The Classic collection includes recognizable and charismatic scents which are classified as the classic components of perfumes. All mono – compositions were inspired by Nature; each one of them is dedicated to a beautiful nature scent. Vetiver is a classic male ingredient; only its root is used in perfume industry, woody with a natural earthy accord. Aromatic notes of Artemisia and coriander, completed with lemon and bergamot, lead to the elegant heart of vetiver. Its beauty is emphasized with orange blossom, the base of sandalwood and oakmoss. This elegant woody aromatic fragrance can also appeal to women.

Friendly, very fresh vetiver. Unlike other vetiver fragrances I’ve smelled, this really does smell like cut grass, but with lots more besides – complexity in layers. Bright, herbal, slightly sweet, with a hint of Pimms or Mojito type spirits. Very well blended. Delightful and brings the summer to me on this winter day. Highly recommended.

A gorgeous very unisex sweet, fresh vetiver fragrance. The artemisia is evident along with the juicy citrus note. There is sweetness that makes me think of a delicious cocktail like a mojito.
I can definitely see myself wearing this on warm day. It’s cheap but it smells high end and not chemically like most cheapies. It’s a shame the longevity is not good but being a cheapie you can just reapply in the day.

Not much to say about this one, except for that it’s a very nice vetiver. Simple, incredibly smooth and palatable, perfect scent for summer with the fresh uplifting hint of citrus & greens in the opening giving way to a truly clean vetiver. There’s a dash of earth in there too from some moss, Monotheme don’t disappoint, producing yet again, a really decent fragrance.
There’s actually been a packaging change which usually means a reformulation, I actually got the opportunity to try both versions and I have to say they are both really nice. One lasted longer than the other, unfortunately I got my arms mixed up and I don’t know which one was which? The older formula (bottle & box pictured here) or the newer version. (dark green bottle)
Lasting power is a problem across the board for Monotheme but they are so well priced and great smelling that I really don’t care if they only last a couple of hours. I know some pricier vetivers that are nice from Jo Malone or Diptyque that don’t last either, so why not get this instead?
If you like vetiver I’d check out Vetiver Bourbon, it isn’t quite up there with Guerlain or Tom Ford but a worthy purchase for sure.

This is an almost creamy vetiver, it is light and very smooth, I own the Guerlain and Chopard Vetivers, this is very different to both, a lot fresher, more like a Summer Vetiver, very easy to wear.

a pretty long lasting, linear but a little bit rough fragrance… i can smell some sweet/green flower, pepper and vetyver of course… nice, but not very impressive

This is a remarkably pleasant and refreshing scent that performs well. It is also very inexpensive. I highly recommend it to all vetiver lovers.
