This is the video we've all been waiting for. Thank you Aaron! Love Vertiver scents

[@kylermclachlan8384]

I’m really loving your reviews!! thank you for the great/educational content!

[@sugaar73]

Great!! I was waiting for this!!!!

[@JustBeerz]

Been here since day 2 ,, appreciate your content. ❤

[@abdlhmdx]

You have become my favourite perfume content creator yet, your straightforward and dissective approach to how a perfume is constructed really makes me leave with new insight, a nice change from the “this is bad and this is good” narrative in perfume content creation nowadays even when I watch a video about a perfume I don’t like from you I can still appreciate the perfumery behind it. For the vetiver perfume you asked about, the only one I could think of right now and thus recommend is Encre Noire Lalique, but if I were to humbly recommend another perfume to try you should really try Silver Oud from Amouage. I really want to know why the dry down takes a different turn and becomes so good

[@bozoc2572]

Guerlain's vetiver has been around since 1959 and it's still very much loved. I think that's something.

[@shpalman7]

While the Eau de Toilette was discontinued, there's still the Eau de Parfum.

[@vodkapops]

Yeah between the two it’s the EDP all day 👌

[@RichardOliver]

I have the EdP but haven't smelt the other two. Was hoping to get the EdT after seeing this until I heard it had been discontinued.

[@nathanthomas5133]

@@RichardOliverAaron is reviewing the EDP even though he keeps saying EDT in the video. This is in a frosted bottle - the EDT came in a totally clear bottle. The video title also says EDP v Parfum

[@renegadebrad7448]

@@nathanthomas5133 he said he could feel the water though as in a edt

[@AOK342]

I’ve been hunting for that edt for a while…. edp is just a bit too much vetiver for me.

[@montyvlc1634]

This is exactly the video I was looking for. I'm looking into adding "grey vetiver" to my collection, but I was unsure if I should get the EDT or the parfum. You've got a new subscriber, sir.

[@allenh.7373]

We did not have our bottle of Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver EDT. We did not engage our higher selves. But we got testing. Something isn't adding up in this universe.

[@jameslunsford4168]

Luv luv luv this perspective from The ATH himself! I soooo want to try some of your fragrances, especially “Homme” and I think it’s called hard candy

[@Radhatter1]

Can’t wait for Vetiver Guerlain and Extreme versions. I also love Heeley Vetiver Veritas but it’s £135 for 50ml !! I also have a hunch you might LOVE Diptyque Vetyverico Eau de Parfum which would be perfect for your review. Creed’s original Vetiver is also iconic if you can find it the one from 2004. Thank you Aaron 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@josephkaizen7352]

Really nice review have the edt and prefer it as well

[@sipandsniff1744]

The Art of shaving vetiver Citron is a great vetiver heavy scent . Great review as Always 🫶

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Aaron.

[@eduardofernandes7378]

I may be confusing because it is a video, but to me this bottle is from the EDP and no the EDT. The EDP is more matte and the EDT is clearer.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Yes have fixed title now sorry

[@pappym.8421]

Thanks for the correction...I thought I was going bonkers ​@@AaronTerenceHughes

[@MillaQ9999]

Hi Arren! Mancera's Vetiver Sensuel is a great extremely easy to wear vetiver scent. Has a lot of citrus along with vetiver. I found it like an easier version of Guerlain's Vetiver.

[@jopvandam6820]

Tip: try bois de vetiver by karl lagerfeld if you like this style of vetiver! Lots of similarities with vetiver sensuel, and very affordable.

[@mrserious9619]

Aaron thank you very much for a great review as always 🙏 Could you review Nishane: Afrika-Olifant It is an amazing fragrance (my favourite) and I want to hear your thoughts and the assessment of the ingredients.

[@garrisonel]

The Encre Noire line is good. I know you already reviewed the original EdT. There's Encre Noire Sport that's fresher. And there's Encre Noire a la Extreme which is an eau de parfum

[@EJ-wc3ew]

The love the entire Encre line...I like darker scents. The Noir Amber is great too

[@Radhatter1]

Absolutamente

[@hauntological]

I have all the Encre Noir scents. I love them. The Sport is definitely fresher but I think I still prefer the original version above the others.

[@Dear.Mr.Fantasy]

Hi Aaron! I would really like to hear your thoughts on the Encre Noir Sport flanker in your vetiver review!

[@alexisbetterful]

I've found that if you layer a citrus base fragrance over a vetiver it really tames the sharpness of the vetiver and smooths it out. Try a spray of encre noir and two sprays of D&G light blue. Its a nice combo.

[@Ishida2725]

Hi! When is the store going to be restocked? Itching to get my hands on a few fragrances!!😊

[@sriramchundi3142]

Hello Aaron. Any chance you can review Galloway by PDM? I recently bought a sample and wanted to see your breakdown before I commit to a full bottle. Keep up the good work!

[@andrewc9343]

would love to hear your thoughts on Xerjoff Tony Iommi

[@joshuarichardz6010]

Le Labo Thé Noir 29 Frederic Malle Vetiver Ext. and PDM Bryerley are more challenging but I absolutely love them!

[@martysnarf]

If you do a vetiver comparison vid, I’d love to see what you think about Nishane’s Sultan Vetiver. It is my favorite vetiver.

[@JoeK627]

Grey Vetiver EDP was one of my first fragrance buys. I was flying blind, but it worked out, as I still adore this fragrance. Cheers.

[@dru812002]

I’m angry they discontinued the EDT, it was my favorite. Got my wife a big bottle but she used it up.

[@EJ-wc3ew]

I just bought the EDP, it's beautiful

[@aidancalabria]

Hi @Aaron I'm a vetiver fanatic, I think you should review 'Fat Electrician' by Etat Libre d'Orange!! It's a gourmand take on vetiver focusing on the nutty and creamy facets. I think it's the kind of vetiver you might enjoy or at least find interesting.

[@Rico200105]

Amouage beach hut man for a Vetiver scent. Eternal and projects immensely. I would call it a green/fresh cologne with a somewhat smokey woody dry down.

[@seanp7871]

👌

[@derdyscobaron]

When you make a whole vetiver fragrance-round I can recommend you to try "Nuit de Megeve" from Eight & Bob. Its very interesting smooth sweet vetiver scent!

[@carbondated21]

I have never tried the EDT however, I do use the parfum as a signature sent exclusively in the summer. And the warm weather it comes off as somewhat leathery, smooth and green, while in the winter time it comes off as smoky in a way that almost seems it was unintended, and not well blended.

[@Radhatter1]

My favourite and signature used to be Guerlain Vetiver Extreme then I switched to Nishane Sultan Vetiver but it’s very powerful so I’ve moved back to Guerlain Vetiver and the Extreme version ..

[@danielvereb6979]

Hey Aaron :) pls consider trying Lunar Vetiver by Amoroud! It's actually quite beautiful ❤️

[@Radhatter1]

Oh and Montale VETIVER PATCHOULI is a luxurious and sophisticated fragrance that perfectly captures the essence of vetiver and patchouli. The scent opens with top notes of citrus and spices, which give way to a heart of rich, earthy vetiver and patchouli.

[@user-xo5ik9dk1d]

You should do this same review but if ombre leather!!

[@dahnyul]

Nishane Sultan Vetiver is a really cool vetiver fragrance. Love your reviews, always! Always put a smile in my face 🙂

[@leandronicolas8848]

Other vetivers are Encre Noir, Terre d'Hermes, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Sycomore.

[@ralfjenkins2605]

Terre D’Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver is another outstanding smoky Vetiver sent, would like to see your thoughts on that too

[@joshc7291]

Haven't tried it myself, but I have heard that Terre d'Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver is a great one

[@gaborszilassy4714]

Hey Aaron, i love your work. Im loking for your oppinion :) Which one would you choose for a summer wedding (36 male) Naxos or Layton exclusif? :) thank you for your advice!

[@tessiermail]

Aaron's mentioned that he doesn't really read the comments anymore. I'd steer clear of Naxos for a summer wedding! Too powerful and rich of cherry tobacco and honey. Layton Exclusif, on the other hand, ought to be great. Just dial in the right quantity and spray points for you over a couple days. I think about 70% of other people who have smelled both would agree, another 15% would tell you to try both yourself, and the other 15% would recommend Naxos or something else.

[@gaborszilassy4714]

@@tessiermail Hey! Thank you for the advice! In hi review of Naxos, he said its getting way better in heat, under UV, thats why i though Naxos might be great, but LE is more sensual, etc.

[@yummydirt4851]

Fat Electrician from Etats libre d'orange is an interesting one to check out. Vetiver and whipped cream!!?

[@crapsack47]

Would love a comparison of l’homme original and bleu electrique

[@EnthropyDelirium]

Lighter Vetivers suggestions: Red Vetiver by Montale, St. Vetiver by DS Durga, B'al Dafrique by Byredo, Vetiverio EDT by old French can't remember house. Skip Roja's Vetiver it's a Meh. Skip Creed. On the TF grey Vetiver I smell metal, I hate it. But what is the chemical that does 5:18 it? You did review Vetiver Sultan and it is damn heavy Vetiver.

[@markeletr]

The Hermes’ Intense Vetiver is really great, but I’m keen to try the TF Parfum.

[@andrewdigiovanni2901]

I prefer Creed Vetiver Geranium over Creed Original Vetiver. I just wish they had more longevity and projection.

[@mohamednayad]

Aaron in the same genre you need to try Bois Imperial 🌿 by Quentin Bisch /Essentiel Parfum To me it is the perfect combination between Grey Vetiver EDP and Ganymede by Marc Antoine Barrois 👍(Same perfumer as Ganymede)

[@shanehall98]

They brought Oud Minerale back a couple of months ago after it was discontinued for many years.

[@keepsniffing2416]

DS Durga St. Vetyver (green and aromatic) Fragrance Du Bois Cannabis Blue (green and woody) Jovoy Private Blend (leathery and smoky)

[@user-sy7ij9ge8p]

Red vetiver by Montale .I think you will like it .

[@cuttingedgevintage]

L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme Vetiver by Issey Miyake is a great light airy vetiver that's watery and really isn't too vetiver heavy. The best part is it's priced well now that it's been out for a while. Performs nicely for en EDT intense.

[@Bogey456]

I'd love to hear your opinion on Dunhill Egyptian Smoke since it's right up your alley on what you like. Fragrantica gets several of the notes wrong however compared to Dunhill's website

[@nikosnoulezas]

No way!😉 NAXOS is too sweet for the summer, and LAYTON Exclusif is too “dark” for a summer event, animalic with a smoky, coffee vibe. Don’t get me wrong - I own both -: They are both AWESOME fragrances, but not for the summer! Only LAYTON could be an option, to my humble opinion (don’t go heavy..). My suggestion: Get ISOLA BLUE and you will smell like no other! Summer, day, night, elegant, sexy, classy, masculine, everything in a bottle!👋👋

[@Bogey456]

@@nikosnoulezas I think you ment to comment on someone else's comment 🤔

[@vincenthusvh]

I personally prefer the Terre d'hermes line, but Tom Ford Grey Vetiver edp is also really nice👌

[@EJ-wc3ew]

Terre d'hermes Vetiver is great

[@fredbell23]

You should add Mancera Vetiver Sensual to the comparison list

[@TheDinosaurSociety]

EDP version is my absolute favorite but I try to wear Lalique Encre Noire A L’extreme more often as it’s an amazing while still affordable Vetiver perfume.

[@jesperhansen4751]

My favorite vetiver is Amouroud Lunar Vetiver.

[@thepogue]

Please, please, PLEASE add Christian Dior Vetiver to your list!!! For me, its the vetiver by which all vetivers should be compared! Thanks bro!

[@Tyler2004durden]

Great review as always! Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver Eau de Toilette is my favourite of his "Greys". It's lighter, brighter and more versatile. Such a shame that it's been discontinued. I also do like Guerlain's Vetiver. Very good, but a bit more old school.

[@JESUSISCALLINGYOU7]

I still don't know what vetiver smells like! 😅 Been dodging it since I started buying fragrances seriously in 2014. Curious now!

[@Benjamin-]

I don't personally like dirty/smoky vetiver, I dislike Encre Noire line for example. But Mancera's Vetiver Sensuel is a very easy bright vetiver. I would guess it's a bit similar to Tom Fords Grey Vetiver EDT.

[@dorianphilotheates3769]

CARVEN Vetiver (Originale) - (1957) GUERLAIN Vetiver (1959) GIVENCHY Vetyver (1959) - also, CHANEL Sycomore and LALIQUE Encre Noire.

[@Onore09]

Hey, I’m considering to add a nice vetiver fragrance. I have two on my list. The TF grey vetiver EDP or Terre d’Hermes vetiver extreme. Who can help me out with my choice?

[@IanBianchi]

Does anyone enjoy vetiver by ROJA? I love it ❤

[@freddiev125]

I like the freshness of a toilette, but also appreciate the firmness of a parfum. 💪

Grey Vetiver edt and grey vetiver edp I have almost full bottles...love them...edt the best!!!

He’s reviewing the EDP not the EDT, he said he’d made a mistake & has changed the title of the video to correct it.

[@Vinny0101]

Mine smells strong and funky.Is it possible that mine has to sit for awhile?

[@abuzubayr1584]

Aaron you did the guerlain , admired the perfumery but said it wasn’t for you and that you were working on something green .

[@stephand.4437]

Encre Noire Sport is quite similar!

[@moparlinke]

Mugler Cologne or Lalique Encre Noire Sport for 30 bucks is a very good alternative

[@626lifeaa]

Love both versions but the parfum is a bit to heavy imo. IMO a lot of the Tom ford parfums are just way intense and almost off putting at times. Also Aaron is the 🐐 love your videos.

[@ricdynasty]

I prefer the parfum version, especially in the dry down.

[@BigSteve93015]

Nishane Sultan Vetiver is deep, dark, camphoric, even more so than the TF Parfum version you tested.

[@wsultana8532]

I’d love to see ATH review of this

[@eddiemaxwell6949]

There's a Bois de Vetiver by Karl Lagerfeld.

[@biliharp9839]

Just try Mancera Vetiver Sensuel

[@majstorgile]

Encre Noir Sport is light one

[@hank2130]

I have Bentley Wild Vetiver which on its own is good but add YSL La Nuit De L’Homme 💥

Not a massive fan of vetiver so would go for the edt for sure

Light vetiver ; Mancera vetiver sensual Challenging vetiver; Nishane Sultan Vetiver

[@danielrocek1801]

I've had both the tom ford vetiver parfum and guerlain vetiver at the same time. Kept the guerlain and sold the tf. The huge price difference is not worth it and i prefer the guerlain ❤

That's the EDP not the the EDT, the EDT was released in 2014 and discontinued a few years later.

Mythique Vetyver by Mizensir

[@cloudlessmind888]

Discontinued long ago, Goutal's original 1985, Vetiver, in EdT concentration, was one of the best vetivers ever. Lots of different vetiver out there, so people will be diverse in their suggestions. I don’t like the smokey, dirty type, so if you like a fluffier, amber vetiver (which you probably won’t lol) Au Coeur du Désert by Tauer is good, (but not daily). Terre d'Hermès also works. Generally, I love vetiver, citrus & oriental scents. The one I have a hard time with, both the name lol, & the scent is, Fat Electrician Semi-Modern Vetiver. Just NO. Also since you’re in Mexico often, did you know that you can *drink* vetiver or barley water & cool your body down on a hot day? It’s also a moth repellent If you’re still there, be careful of El Popo…theres alotta ash coming from that volcano Stay safe. Vetiver tea • 4 cups water to boil • 8-10 strands of Vetiver roots, washed and chopped • Optional - Lemon, ginger, pinch of black pepper, Sweetener of your choice. Boil all of this in a pot till the time when water has reduced by ½ half. Drink.

[@mrrob4590]

Now on to Chanel sycomore and incident diplomatique
