Old school Vetiver. I can wear this scent every day. Going to work, going out. I love this one because it smells earthy and fresh at the same time.

The morning is rainy and the sky is grey. The smell of grass and earth from the nearby field is perceptible. A perfect spring day to wear the gem that is Piver’s Vetiver. I own the old version although I haven’t had the chance to get my nose on the newer iterations.
Piver’s Vetiver opens with sharp sweet citrus notes that dissipate into a spicy lavender combo. The combo is supported throughout by the notes of vetiver, musk and patchouli giving the earthy woodiness character of the scent. The fragrance gives good sillage for the first 2-3 hours and remains noticeable for the whole work day. Piver’s vetiver and work go together like hands in glove.
Piver’s Vetiver is mature and austere. It is a beautiful reminder of what perfumery was like in bygone eras. Nevertheless, it is also a benchmark for the note of vetiver. A must try, at very least, for the connoisseurs of perfumery and vetiver, in particular!
8/10

The opening is a zingy, nose-tickling blend of citrus, cool herbs and a pepper, then a dusting of powdery barbershop lavender. The vetiver develops more as the citrus subsides, subdued and less rooty than say Malle’s “Vetiver Extraordinaire”, but has a rugged earthiness that feels unmistakably masculine.
It does fade a little too quickly for me, but for the price I wouldn’t mind buying a big bottle and re-applying.
Could be worn day or night and in all types of weather. Fresh, spicy and quite versatile.

Gwizz review says it all!
A very fresh vetiver with a nice citrus-green apple mix in the opening mixed with pepper. Very refreshing and modern smelling combo. The drydown is a bit smokey, which makes it very masculine with a nice vetiver-woody base surrounded by flowery and spicy elements. It lasts and projects at least average. Recommended if you can find it! Could have been, to my imagination, a (more modern) flanker of the Guerlain one, next to the ‘Sport’ and ‘Frozen’ versions! Rating: 9/10

This is a lovely old school vetiver that I came across in a quite obscure way, and I’m glad I did! It casts & lasts, is inexpensive, turns heads and has endless versatility. The opening is certainly the star, with spicy pepper & citrus being a more familiar presence, but it is beautifully highlighted by an unmistakeable green apple. Very unusual. It soon transitions to showcase a pristine jasmine & lavender that are very welcoming and dries to a woody base of vetiver & cedar.
I love the staying power and class of this modern day offering from a house that’s been around since time immemorial. The dry down isn’t as interesting as the opening, but I still have to say that I prefer this Piver to the reformulated Guerlain Vetiver, which has become blurry and indistinct in its retake. I think they’re relatively comparable vetivers and I always find myself erring in favor of the Piver.
If you see this beauty and you’re a vetiver fan, you’ll no doubt find a faithful and rewarding fragrance that won’t hurt the pocket book too much either. What’s not to like about that? Gold.

Masculine, confident, pedantic even. Posh smoky winner))
Very retro, yet very modern.

A vetiver in which freshness is achived with an unripe green apple note in the opneing. It dries down to a retrò woody-nutty fragrance that’s still pretty likeable but, maybe, not as interesting as it is during the opening. Nice and inexpensive.
Rating: 6.5/10

One of the best vetiver scent out there. Very deep, earthy and old school (in the good way) fragrance. It’s for mature and elegant men however young people will be oryginal wearing this one on great occasion. Special events, evening suit and ciggaro – that are additions to this scent.
