While I don't own any perfumes that have vetiver (yet, sorry but my wallet just isn't that understanding) I have smelled the essential oil and to me it just smells like lovely autumn leaves, damp, cool earth and night time in October. Yay, Halloween!<br /><br />Oh, and sorry, off-topic, but I've been reading past Dan Jennifer Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769363516299757050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-82156906635507297532011-04-27T14:31:10.357+01:002011-04-27T14:31:10.357+01:00To me Vetiver Tonka doesn't smell "that m...To me Vetiver Tonka doesn't smell "that much" like vetiver but then, I'm a vetiver slut, and you, Katie Puckrik, are clearly not.

(We may have covered this ground previously on this site, please forgive if so - it's late and I'm beyond research.) I think if my spaniel self were decanted, it would be nag champa.

That's what happens when I get my "reading list" from Dan, who has very specific interests and tastes. Or non-specific, judging from this idiosyncratic decant set.

I don't find it similar to AG Le Mimosa, the peaches in this last one bother me a lot (and I am usually a fan of AG peach notes). Iris Ukiyoe is amazing, I don't care if it smells like shampoo or face stuff, as long as it smells good!<Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207896058506357574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684347516161317491.post-14641169445434271102011-04-26T15:06:18.561+01:002011-04-26T15:06:18.561+01:00Nope, not allergic to shellfish, but this grouping...Nope, not allergic to shellfish, but this grouping is the sort that leaves me feeling puzzled, as if I'm just missing something. Sort of like when I scratch my head through some acclaimed novel and wonder if there was a prequel that I somehow missed. The Hermessences in particular do this to me, although I do profess a liking for Vanille Galante.
