L'Occitane's Vetyver eau de toilette is my absolute favourite scent, one of those that smells phenomenal to me and also gets compliments all the time. Unfortunately, they discontinued it a few years ago and I flew through my hoarded bottles.
(They brought it back as a men's fragrance but the blend is different, something very distinctly aftershavey kills the good stuff.)
The basenotes.net reviews mention nutmeg, macis, cypress, bergamot and rosemary as well as vetiver - it's not overtly any of these, although the cypress was definitely present and good on me. I thought Sloth smelled somewhat similar but my ex-boyfriend (who loved Vetyver) said it was nowhere close. Vetiver and I get on well so I am trying all BPAL scents featuring it, but hints would be appreciated.
Any suggestions? I'd be very grateful!
wow, i used to work at L'Occitane, and i never knew that they had an older Vetyver scent! i wish i could have smelled it when it was still around.
how is it different than the current version?
i love this version, and even though it does seem rather aftershave-y in the bottle and wet on the skin (that put some people off when i was trying to sell them some), it really calms down and becomes a delicious, warm, friendly scent once it dries down.
i recently discovered BPAL and have not ordered anything yet, but am also checking out their vetiver scents. are there any you could recommend to a fellow L'Occitane fan? :-)
