Vetiver

Notes & Nuances

This one’s aiming for that polished, effortless cool of Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver. And it gets reasonably close, maybe 90%. The grapefruit and orange blossom opening is bright and refreshing, like a crisp white shirt. There's a slight synthetic sharpness present, noticeable if you’re familiar with the original's smoother citrus. The heart brings in that spicy-woody warmth – the nutmeg and pimento add character. The orris root tries to give it a powdery elegance, but here's where the clone falls a little short. It lacks the refined, almost creamy texture of Grey Vetiver. The drydown is a pleasant, clean vetiver with woody notes. It smells good, but the oakmoss feels dialed down.

Is it Worth It?

this is a solid choice. If you want a sophisticated, clean vetiver scent without breaking the bank, this works. It's for the guy who appreciates a well-groomed appearance but isn’t trying too hard. But for everyday wear, this clone delivers a similar vibe . A great grab for everyday professional wear.

The Performance Stats

It projects moderately for the first hour, creating a subtle but noticeable aura. After that, it settles closer to the skin, lasting around 5-6 hours total. This isn't a beast mode fragrance. More of a "quiet confidence" kind of vibe. Perfect for the office or a casual date.
