Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Vetiver

If you're after a Terre d'Hermes EDT alternative with serious oomph, Montale Red Vetiver is your ticket. Expect a bolder, spicier take on the classic vetiver-citrus profile, though there's some debate over new batch performance.

Our Verdict - Del Mar Baldessarini

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some folks reckon it's a classy, versatile number; others call it a generic, forgettable aquatic that barely leaves a trace. If you're after something universally lauded, look elsewhere. If you're willing to take a punt on a polarizing scent, you might find a hidden gem.

Season and Occasion Fit

Red Vetiver

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its robust projection and long-lasting nature, particularly in older batches, make it less ideal for the office but great for casual and date settings. The woody, spicy accords lend themselves well to everyday wear, but it's perhaps too loud for very formal events or high-intensity sport.

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its moderate sillage and short longevity make it suitable for office wear, where discretion is key. The generic and 'safe' nature means it won't stand out on a date or formal event, but its fresh, clean accords make it an easy choice for casual outings or even light activity.
