Fragrance Reviews by proustian

Chanel's finest fragrance for men. There's nothing else that smells like this. It's slightly green, slightly orange, and slightly vanilla....making it the coldest vanilla fragrance available. It's difficult to conceive of a cold vanilla, but this one really is, and yet, Pour Monsieur is still a very sexy fragrance.

This scent is one of the coldest woodsy scents ever. Quite beautiful in its chilly austerity. A great success by Cartier.....the bois really do smell bleu.

I think those who dislike this fragrance are probably missing the point. This is not your typically green Vetiver. Lanvin's Vetyver smells almost of aquatic blue grass rather than the earthy/woodsy use thereof in Guerlain. This scent is very much based on the grassy, rather than root, portion of the vetiver plant. Wonderfully refreshing.

Quite simply one of the finest green fragrances on the market. Herrera's sensual vetiver embodies what a warm green masculine fragrance can be. I say green and not necessarily woodsy. Completely different from Guerlain's vetiver, and yet, like the Guerlain, this one could have become a classic.
