Enough has been said about this scent's top notes, middle notes and base notes. So I'm going to take a different approach and write about what Vétiver reminds me of. I would be pleased if you told me what you think/ or write your own experiences...!
After putting it on my mind slowly travels back in time and fond memories of one afternoon on my honeymoon just a couple of years ago reemerge.
...I'm sitting in the backyard of our ancient house in Sicily. It has just stopped raining after a long period of drought.
The sun, slowly but powerfully reappears and you can see the water evaporate on the hot asphalt just outside our garden.
Meanwhile in the garden scarce Sicilian nature takes its beautiful course.The water trickles away slowly leaving behind a quiet, sizzling noise.
Consequently the plants in our garden are breathing a sigh of relief, soaking in everything the now harsh sun doesn't take them away.
Looking closely you can truly see the yellowish grass and the lemon and orange trees becoming revitalized.
As the sun becomes ever more vigorous, causing the remaining water covering the plants to evaporate at an ever faster rate, a tranquil wind gently carries away the newly released scents....
