Noble Vetiver by Chopard, 2010

Surprising indeed. Unbearable for the first minute, but after 5-10 minutes there it is! Sharp and very dignifying, noblesse oblige type of scent. Very formal and demanding, good quality. Scent itself is rather dry and bitter, also quite cold in character. All I can say that scent might fall well on a snob kind of person - so if you feel like a snob this one might work well for you. Noble Cedar has more humanity and warmth in it. Longevity and projection are up to the task. I personally don't like the scent, but am rating it positive on account of how it performs well, it's refined, distinctive and classy.

Very nice, elegant, modern scent. It's like something between Terre, Beckham Homme and Fahrenheit. I didn't detect too much vetiver, but I'm not vetiver fan anyway. The longevity is very good, and the bottle is a piece of art. I bought it very cheap, so I'm really happy with my Chopard Noble Vetiver almost without vetiver.

This is a great modern vetiver based fragrance for spring and summer. Start fresh with some citrus and just hint of pepper and also the main note of this fragrance, vetiver! It's not smoky like Encre Noir at all. It's very smooth and pleasant. It the mid citrus and pepper are gone, with beautiful scent of vetiver and only hint of leather which give this fragrance just a little smokiness vibe. I believe there are some woodsy notes here too but they are so weak in the background just to play a small role to make it a little more complex. The scent did not change too much in the base. so what you get in the drydown is what you will get in the base too. Above average projection and really great longevity on my skin which really surprised me! I get 10+ hours. While Encre Noir is a great modern vetiver based fragrance for fall and winter, this will be a good replacement for it in the spring and in the summer.
