Which Should You Buy?
Floris Vetiver is a proper grown-up scent; it's a classy, understated British take on vetiver that's surprisingly sexy and complex. Not a raw, dirty vetiver, but a smooth operator with a timeless appeal, though some find its spicy start a bit much.
This one's a bit of a chameleon: a brighter, sharper take on a classic vetiver that divides opinion. Some find it a superior alternative to Terre d'Hermes, while others feel it's just 'basic' or too harsh up front. Give it time to settle; the drydown is where the magic (or indeed, the mediocrity) happens.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and superb longevity make it suitable for office and formal wear, providing a classy backdrop without overpowering. The understated elegance and 'polite' vetiver also make it a good, mature choice for dates, but not for casual or sport settings where something more robust or fresh might be preferred.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Its versatile profile, with a fresh opening and a refined woody-spicy drydown, makes it suitable for many occasions. While its sillage is moderate, it's generally considered inoffensive for office wear, and its sophisticated warmth fits well for casual outings or dates.
