Vetiver

I really like the opening of this on paper and on my skin but in five minutes it was flat Outrageous! for three hours. Remember that Revlon shampoo from the 90's? Yeah that Outrageous.Tried it twice to be sure and both times it gave me flashbacks to high school. Not that it was bad, but a little overwhelming. Silage is good, and the eventual dry down was soft and sweet but, man.. I've never been attacked by jasmine this way before.

Upon first spray, i was kinda worried. I got that wet cardboard/slightly urinous smell that others were talking about and almost dismissed it. But after about 5 minutes it settled and wow. Earthy, herbal, slightly floral. Kind of reminds me of damp soil which i like but might not be for everyone. This isnt a citrusy vetiver scent like red vetiver or TdH, nor is it a gloomy vetiver like in encre noir. Vetiver is a main note here but theres complexity with the florals and patchouli. Even if you like vetiver, i would sample this before getting it; the wet cardboard might be more prominent for you. Another thing to take into consideration is that i think in open air it smells a lot better. Having your nose all up on where you sprayed is quite different then catching wafts of it. I just sprayed it on so i cant speak for the projection/longevity/sillage, but i imagine itll be moderate for all of the above. 7.5/10 Still prefer encre noir

This is gorgeous! All vetiver and patchouli on my skin. I do not get any apple or blackberry gladly. Very unisex, creamy and woody. For me this is a perfect tropical vacation fragrance. It is an amazing fragrance! Great job Commodity!

Beautiful clean vetiver with a bit of patchouli and light fruity notes. Jasmine is detectable and rounds off the vetiver. Very nice, safe fragrance and it shines in the hot weather of South Florida. It lasts a long time on me.

When I was 3 years old I attended my uncles wake and the body had been there for three days. This is that smell. It’s death but before putrefaction really gets going. I think this really balances between interesting and off putting and it just depends on your associations. At first I smelled a mossy damp woods with wilted flowers but when the memory hit me I couldn’t un-smell death and corpse or maybe if something or someone sweaty was doused in vodka. At best it smells like floral mixed with spray paint or marker. It’s such a high quality for what it’s worth and I’m sure in small doses on someone id even enjoy it, but it doesn’t work for me. Edit: It might just be my chemistry on paper I get jasmine at most
