Sorry guys, I know Ive started like 4 vetiver threads lately, lol. Its been a learning process and I think I can finally describe what Im looking for with the above description.

Im looking for the Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce of Vetivers Fresh, Arotmatic, Gobs of Siliage!

Im seeing a lot of people say FM Vetiver Extraordinaire fits this. What do you think?

Well, I love vetiver and Vetiver Extraordinaire is my absolute favorite. It's actually a really close race between VE and EldO's Fat Electrician. FE is quite a bit more affordable ($80 for 50ml vs $145 for 50ml) and it's just an absolutely fabulous fragrance. FE, also, is an edp, which is nice and definitely adds to the sillage and longevity. However your vetiver exploration goes, those are 2 vetiver that you absolutely MUST try. I'd be willing to bet that one of those will end-up being your holy grail vetiver. Anyway, good luck on your hunt. Vetiver is a really fun note to explore as practically every house has one.

I don't think Vetiver Extraordinaire fits the description very well, even if it's a great vetiver. Even if I personally like it less, I think Lanvin Vetyver fits your description better.

Again, I would add Armani Vetiver Babylone. It's citrusy, fresh and aromatic.

Check out Diptyque's new one. Malle's Vetiver is quite nice but it's not fresh by any means.

Vettiveru is what I look to for fresh and aromatic.

Diptyque's Vetyverio, which I'm currently wearing right now for the first time, would fit the bill.

Try Vetiver Dance by Tauer, it'll singe your nose hairs off if you sniff it right after you apply it, it's so aromatic.
