Review of Vétiver oriental by RINA

The fresh, earthy, and vibrant scent of vetiver, along with its depth, is clearly discernible. The addition of amber invites you on a mystical journey. A subtle hint of chocolate adds richness, and this accent harmoniously blends the complex and somewhat ambiguous impression of vetiver, further enhancing its allure. Oakmoss and sandalwood give a cool, almost witch's stone-like impression, while iris adds elegance, creating a mysterious and profound fragrance. Particularly noteworthy is the exquisite gradation between the authentic "mud-covered roots" of vetiver and the "dark veil" created by dark chocolate. The powdery texture of oakmoss and iris contributes to the cool, witch's stone-like impression. The elegance of these authentic fragrances, as if wrapped in silk gloves, is the charm of this work and a testament to Serge Lutens' unique storytelling. His skillful approach, which seamlessly blends themes with the allure of vetiver, invites you into a world of fragrance. In recent years, many perfumes have focused on single fragrance ingredients, highlighting their unique appeal. However, Serge Lutens' approach combines this with a distinctive theme and story, creating an unparalleled individuality. The importance of storytelling and originality—these are the elements that make fragrance all the more captivating.
