Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fat Electrician Semi-Modern Vetiver Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some find it a sweet, creamy vetiver dream, a 'vetiver perfected'. Others get burnt wires, an 'electrical fire', or 'gag-worthy gin'. Utterly divisive, but undeniably unforgettable.
Statement
Our Verdict - Hermessence Vetiver Tonka Eau de Parfum
This is a masterpiece of a gourmand vetiver, but its delicate sillage and high price tag mean it's definitely not for everyone. Expect a sophisticated, subtle experience that you'll primarily wear for yourself.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fat Electrician Semi-Modern Vetiver Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its unique, often 'burnt wire' or 'rubber' facets, combined with a creamy sweetness, make it too idiosyncratic for formal events or the gym. However, its intimate projection and intriguing character suit casual outings and close encounters like dates, where its complexity can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
