this one to me was an initial blast of overwhelming nauseating lemon. Then a vetiver comes but it is on the weaker side really. This to me was simple and forgettable. Mugler Cologne is a whole other deal but it's vetiver done in a much better way. Too bad it is weak. Overall, Tom Fords allure is not something I can attest to, to be honest. I have tested 2-3 of them and I feel they do not hit the mark at least for my nose.
Thin, lemony vetiver. This is fine, it's nice, but it's not my favorite vetiver. Better vetivers include, IMO, Vetiver Fatal by Atelier Cologne, Vetyverio by Diptyque, and French Lover Bois D'Orage by Frederic Malle.
I really like this scent in both the EDT and EDP versions. They're both different. The EDT is airy, more citrus and a bit more floral than the EDP. Also the vetiver is not as sweet or as deep in the EDT. This from a guy who did not even like Vetiver scents other than the old Guerlain Vetiver to some extent.
I'm really liking this. I've smelled the EDP, but I haven't worn it enough to form an opinion. They do seem pretty similar though. I find this to be a little more wearable than, let's say, Guerlain Vetiver. The Guerlain is great, but I find it to be a little too much at times. Grey Vetiver smells very fresh and casual, and it's one of my favourites in the genre. On me it seems to last 12 + hours, and projection is soft/moderate. People around you notice it, but it's not loud. I find it similar to Vetiver Extraordinaire by FM. The SA said that GV EDT is going to be discontinued, but I hope not!
As someone who doesn't much care for a potent vetiver note (I can't stand any of the Encre Noirs, even the GV EDP was a little on the strong side for me) this EDT version is perfect. Opening reminds me a little of LL Bergamote 22 - fresh burst of citrus rind, easing into a sort of candied/frosted lemon with smooth vetiver hanging out in the background. To my nose vetiver can harsh, but not here - it's blended perfectly, there is no awkward transition between the citrus top and the woodier drydown. Not a complex scent, but still excellent perfumery. Leans classic and mature, but this strikes me as more unisex than the EDP.
