Beautiful; heady
I am female and love this fragrance. Like all Frederic Malle fragrances, this is beautifully made. It has the fragrance of vetiver,but I notice an almost fresh lilac. It has amazing staying power and sillage.
Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire is a woody aromatic fragrance featuring vetiver. Created in 2002 by the amazing Dominique Ropion, this is one of the best vetiver fragrances available. Using about three times the normal about of vetiver (about 25%), it has not bitterness, just all smooth vetiver. Experimental when it first came, out, it is now a vetiver classic. A gorgeous, crisp, spiced vetiver that is completely unisex and smells amazing on women as well as men. Notes of Bergamot, bigarade orange, pink pepper, nutmeg, floralozone Haitian vetyver, sandalwood, cedarwood, oak moss, myrrh, cashmeran, musk-tone and tonalide
From Australian Perfume Junkies - "I find something very clean seaside air in Vetiver Extraordinaire that wants to wrap me up and fly me away."
From Bois de Jasmin -"Vetiver Extraordinaire is my favorite all-vetiver fragrance. The opening, which I wish lasted far longer than it does, is magical, and it smells like moss and woods lit by lemony sunshine. Traversing the fragrance with ozone keeps it firmly in the outdoors, although it is undeniably a scent elegant enough for a soiree. It has coolness suitable to the wearing of evening attire as well as burly flannels, and it’s almost perfection against an autumnal backdrop."
From Now Smell This - "Frederic Malle has said that it reminds him "of the forests in the north of France where his grandparents lived",1 and although I have never been in the forests of the north of France, I would imagine that that is as good a description as any."

This is just what I was looking for in a vetiver fragrance. Rooty, masculine, bold. Vetiver can sometimes turn the stomach if not done right, but the addition of smoothening agents like musk, orange, and myrhh balance those harsher elements of the root.

This is a awesome Vetiver an maybe my favorite. Every time I wear it in my rotation I'm reminded of how much I enjoy wearing it. My female colleges at work always tell me how good I smell when I were it.
