Which Should You Buy?
Sycomore is a 'quiet luxury' vetiver masterpiece, though its close resemblance to cheaper alternatives and its divisive performance cause some debate. Expect a sophisticated, high-quality woody experience, but don't expect it to shout for attention.
This is a grown-up, elegant vetiver with serious cult status. Divisive over price and its similarity to Encre Noire, but for fans, it's a 'holy grail' sophisticated woody, smoky experience that few can match.
