Grapefruit opening, green vetiver, spicy, smoky. Pretty nice.

It’s fresh and clean with the vetiver being evident, although the fragrance itself is very green. If I were to pick a woodsy element that stands out the most, it would be pine. While the pine isn’t terribly sharp, it’s noticeable. Additionally, I’m in agreement that the incense (and maybe a hint of ash) note that others have mentioned is there. It’s subtle but it’s there.
Quite honestly, Vetiver Vert is the best of the Czech & Speake line that I’ve encountered so far. That’s not saying much, considering that I’ve only experienced their signature No. 88 and Oxford & Cambridge.
Projection and longevity of Vetiver Vert is moderate.
As a bit of rambling on the side: I’m under the impression that Czech and Speake is using quality ingredients in their products and may not necessarily observe the IFRA guidelines or restrictions. The reason I say this is because the ingredients list on both the box of the C&S No. 88 and Oxford and Cambridge that I bought last year, has “evernia prunastri extract” which is the real oakmoss extract and not the chemical substitution that so many fragrances containing oakmoss now use. I’m assuming that the same type of natural and quality ingredients would apply to all of the fragrances in their line as well.

This is a surprisingly interesting Vetiver with an unusual character. It is a very natural smell that reminds of freshly-steamed shirts or freshly-cut paper. Green, austere, minimalist, down-to-earth, unpretentious. It does not have the musky, perfumey richness of something like Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver, but that makes it unique and speaks of its Englishness.
As with most Czech & Speake fragrances, this is not the type of fragrance that you find in department stores. It is clear that the creation process and aesthetic of these fragrances do not follow the mainstream. Vetiver Vert is the sort of smell that projects respect, confidence, and tradition, rather than seduction or indulgent luxury.

from this fragrance those guys are proving that they are in the bathroom manufacturing. it’s exactly like an experiment we used to do when we were young by pouring 7up in the toilet seat and then flush it to see that it bleaches the seat perfectly. it’s like a lemony soapy mettalic green smell just like 7up in toilet seat. unpleasant.

This is a very very very good fragrance!!!
The citrusy opening is not shy, but a little bit strong, as a bergamot wrapped into the bay leaf (very good), with a citrusy and green effect, very very interesting for me; like Jack_Hunter i detect a balsamic and resinous effect (pheraps myrrah and incense), but not listed on the notes; the vetiver is not very intense, is a little bit dry (not wet, like in Sycomore, l’Exclusive de Chanel), a little bit sweet with the sandalwood.
Is a fantastic fragrance especially for spring, when i like green nuances, but could be good also in summer, with the cold and slightly sweet effect of the resins and tangerine; the longevity is very good.
However should be suitable for all the seasons, except for the cooliest months.
Is more “Vert” than “Vétiver”, but absolutely interesting and good.
Probably it will be my next purchase……….or a good gift for me….

Very fresh vetiver top that melts into an resinous, incensey heart. This fragrance is like a Tom Ford Sahara Noir “light” made for spring. Unfortunately somewhat low sillage and longevity on my skin.

A timeless vetiver very interesting. Yes that is so good I feel something earthy smoky but the the same time on my skin, and I like that a lot.
So I would rate it:
Smell: 9/10
Projection: 9/10
Longevity: 8.5/10

This is delightful, from the bergamot top to the sandalwood dry down. It’s straightforward, light and cheerful. Its not complicated or edgy, just quality ingredients, well blended and solid.
It does have a barbershop simplicity but I find it to be a true unisex. The vetiver is very prominent and works well with the bay leaf. The sandalwood makes for a sweet, dry finish.
I could say that this perfume is merely pleasant, but somehow that lack of pretense, the open willingness to please makes for a lovely, uncomplicated and heart-tugging experience. Like a fresh faced farm girl who puts all the elegant city beauties to shame.
I want a bottle.

Fresh citrusy bergamot mandarin very well blended into vetiver bit of resin hint sandalwood bay leaf galbanum all very well mixed together. Got this as a sample so just a few times to wear it but a nice mood enhancer on a grey cold spring day. Elegant vetiver fragrance for both men and women.

This is the only fragrance from this house that I like. It opens with blast of citrus which reminds me of ‘Hugo Boss orange’. The dry down is the area that this fragrance shines ,fresh and invigorating. I also detect verbena in the middle notes.
hfeveppoktx – :
Well it opens with a blast of citrus of bergamot and mandarin and it feels very green. What I really like is the incense resin smell that it develops along with a sweet Sandalwood after the topnotes fade. The vetiver note is small and mixed in with the laurel and the sandalwood.
This will not wow anyone as it is a gentlemens scent and almost a type of barbershop fragrance. Those looking for a killer vetiver fragrance will be disappointed.
But I like it mainly due to the resinous and it does smell like incense resin feel underneath the citrus opening. The Sandalwood,vetiver, galbanum and laurel mix smells really nice on my skin and the longer I wear it the more I like it.
