Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver Eau de Parfum
A masterful vetiver that balances zesty citrus with earthy woods and pepper, delivering a clean yet assertive signature. It radiates understated class and modern masculinity, ideal for those who prefer subtle power over loud statements.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Draconis Extrait
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.
