I'm relatively new to the world of vetivers - this one was recommended by a well respected (by me) BNer. And I just love it! Starts out brisk and woodsy with a touch of brine and rum. As it settles down I would swear I detect coconut - at any rate the drydown on me is a creamy amber with an edge....and the smoky green-ness of that sad and gorgeous island.

I must say that its not my cup of tea, but I can see the attraction. It has a drydown that is tonka, vetiver and lots of rum. It's sort of a dirty grungy smell which reminds me of rainy weather in a third-world tropical beach town. As scenteur7 said, "boozey" is accurate.

Usually I do not mind that CSP stands for Cunningly Synthetic Perfumes*, but this one is straight from a failed lab experiment. Smells like someone was working on an artificial vanilla and created hazardous waste instead. Unhealthy chem odor & tonka is what I get, maybe this freebee leftover bottle is a little stale. But if this should actually be Vetiver Haiti, verily I hate thee.

*note that I love Eau du Gouverneur, Aqua Motu, Écume de Thé

A surprising vetiver scent, rich in spice notes. Somewhat boozey with accents of sandalwood, rum and patchouli, but not as heavy as it might sound...there's a strange freshness pervading the composition. Very interesting.

My attendant scarcely knew what to say. "Um, that is certainly from left field! What on earth is it?"
"Why, it's Vétyver Haiti, and it certainly is different, I'll say that much."

This vetiver is unlike any I've tried before. It is both soft and creamy, but also somewhat dark, spicy, and earthy. It is quite strong when first applied, but not at all sharp like Route du Vetiver or Vétiver de Puig. There seems to be a maté-like note as well, and it has pretty longevity to boot. A very interesting take on vetyver and certainly worthy of a try.

This is vetiver??? I was totally surprised by this scent...as it did not have any resemblance to any of the many vetiver-based fragrances in my wardrobe. This is probably a good thing for me since I have way too many of this type of fragrance to begin with. Nevertheless, CSP's version is a spicy, woody, creamy rendition of the classic men's fragrance. I'm still undecided about it, but it's definitely unlike anything I've ever experienced.
