First I want to thank all who make this community available and alive, it is so helpful.
I love Vetiver by Guerlain, unfortunately it does not last at all on me, 40 minutes in the best cases, around 20 to 30 minutes in general, even within the first 30 minutes I am told it smells nice but very light and faint although I spray a more than generous amount. It is too bad because I would probably only use this one until I got tired of it, I am almost addicted to it, that's how much I love it but I have to be practical and since I use way too much it will become too expensive.
After many samplings and reading here I have come to the conclusion that I am most attracted to:
A balance between citrus and light flowers, a little woodsy with a slight sweetness and bitterness together.
Sorry, that's the best I can do to describe it...
Guerlain Vetiver seems to have everything I like, too bad about the lack of longevity and sillage.
So I have decided to get a bottle of D&G Pour Homme, after reading about it here and sampling it in a retail store it seems to have almost everything I like plus I understand it lasts and has good sillage, I'll be able to try it this evening, I got a sample from a reputed retail store that I'll compare with the bottle I just received from EBay which I suspect could be a fake, I find the cap to be a little strange and fitting too tight, I'll know for sure after I compare the two, one spray on each arm and we'll see.
I would love to hear different recommendations for my situation from the veterans or others.
