Our verdict on Bois de Vetiver: Favourite

This budget-friendly freshie punches well above its weight in scent quality, but its weak projection and longevity are a constant source of frustration. You'll love the smell, but hate how quickly it disappears.

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile, coupled with moderate-to-weak performance, makes it perfect for the office, casual wear, or even after a gym session. It's too subtle for formal events or a date where you want to make a strong impression.

About

Bois de Vetiver opens with a zesty burst of blood orange and grapefruit, brightened by a hint of cool mint. As the initial citrus fades, a fresh, almost dewy rose emerges, intertwined with a soft, clean vetiver that's far from earthy or dirty. The base settles into a smooth, musky accord with a touch of ambroxan, creating an easy-going and modern scent profile that's remarkably elegant for its price point.
