    Pwaah... Pure Villainy! I think there's more green color than vetiver in it.

    This is a strong fragrance when sniffed from the bottle, once applied it softens, warms, and lingers. It smells like water soaked vetiver, some light citrus, ginger root, and a touch of black pepper. It is a grassy, warm, noticeable, but in-the-background fragrance. It is a pleasent scent if worn properly --not a cheap-smelling bottle of chemicals you sling everywhere. The secret to this EDT is applying it sparingly. It would be best for a summer day outside, or on a picnic. I recommend it, as long as you don' bath in it.

    It's a nice grassy smell, but there's not much too it. I haven't tried other vetivers. It lasts a decent amount of time and is inoffensive. Smells like freshly cut grass, good for what it's going for.

    Edit: This isn't much of a vetiver really. To me it smells like Azzaro Chrome (VERY similar almost stinky drydown which is nonetheless enjoyable), except with a green grassy note instead of a blue note.

    it smells of freshly mowed grass with dew drop on a sunny day. yeh, it smells quite fresh, real and intense...with excellent sillage(needless to say with azzaros). not bad atall. i would rate it over Vetiver Hombre and to an extent on par with Mugler cologne..the only problem is? the opening notes.

    Well...I don't know what to think of this one. Overall it is an airily pleasant, innocuous fragrance. The notes are very muted and perhaps a bit harsh at first. Maybe it's the pepper. I agree with one review that said this would be good to layer with another fragrance, but which one? Its dry down is decidedly masculine and somewhat "ferny." It was on discount for $10 for a 75ml bottle-attractive container. Because of its agreeable sillage and bargain basement price, I'll give it a thumbs up.

    The scent of some sort of toxic lawn chemical.
    Or an insecticide.
    for every redeeming note, there seems to be 10 toxic ones.
    I mean literally quite toxic.
    My least favorite fragrance I have ever tried.
    Thumbs toes all digits down.
