From the brand - "A fragrance dedicated to the sensory perfection of Vetiver - an oil obtained from the root of an exotic grass, which perfectly balances earthy, leathery and smoky tones, and as a result is a mainstay of masculine perfumery. Bright Citrus notes mingle with the vibrant green qualities of Galbanum and Celery Seed for a natural freshness, the earthiness of which is strengthened via both Cedar Wood and Needles, alongside a dry bed of Oakmoss. This vetiver fragrance features touches of Pink Pepper, Caraway and Nutmeg swirl around a prominent note of Black Pepper, drawing out a smoky sensuality, whilst hiding in the shadows are the leathery notes of Cistus and Labdanum, which draw out the Vetiver’s inherent leathery assertiveness"
From the perfumer - “There is no material in perfumery quite like Vetiver – it is at once earthy, smoky and leathery all in perfect harmony. Sophisticated and incredibly versatile, those who wear it are confident and self-assured – a presence in any room. Vibrant Citrus notes create a lively freshness around the dry warmth of Vetiver, whilst both Cedar Wood and Needles, and Oakmoss add heat and complexity. Everybody wants to be near him. It is the ultimate example of how a modern man should smell. The Vetiver wearer doesn’t provoke envy but instead, adoration.” - ROJA DOVE.
Fragrantica - "Probably my favorite fragrance ever made- one of the many absolute bangers from Roja. Opens with a juicy lemon draped over a vetiver, sweetened with a subtle bergamot. As the dry-down comes, a beautiful oakmoss blends into the scent. 1000/10 get your nose on ts (this scent)"
Fragrantica - "just an incredible vetiver fragrance, really amazing floral notes in here"
Fragrantica - "Quality is second name of this fragrance people, you can't deny that. Roja is master who lived for a fragrance and he clearly demonstrated it with this one. From a first sprey you get breath taking lemon like in none other fragrance. Very soon you get vetiver full on but lemons are still in background. Hiding, but there. Smoking leather but not like leather smoking one or like Gurlean vetiver. Balance is third name of this fragrance.
Vetiver is soo good like you wanna drink it. From two spreys you are set for a day. It's pushing really hard but not overpowering. Just right amount. People around you will like it. And for the last stage I get oakmoss but nothing like old school....so polished, soft and perfect. What a magic, transition is undetectable! This is what TF doesn't have! I have never experienced anything like this. Even after shower I get a fragrance on my skin. Throughout lifetime of the fragrance there is some spiciness the detactable I don't know what it is....but it's so damn good. One would say according to notes nothing special, all seen before. That true, but done like this....this is new!"
Fragrantica - "I think you have to really like Vetiver fragrances to understand what this one is about, I agree with the reviews here, where many say that this hits the sweet spot of Vetiver fragrances in that it is perfectly balanced, its not too "Green", its not too "Earthy" and it doesn't lean hugely sweet to try and counter both of these like so many other Vetiver fragrances do."
Fragrantica - "For me, the vetiver in Roja's refined essence is an Indiana Jones in a suit who elegantly wanders through the wilderness.
Fragrantica - "The smoky, peanut-like aspect of the vetiver takes a back seat in favor of a creamy, citric character, with a hint of ginger, but not really a sharp ginger note. It is very attractive to me. For those who have always wanted a vetiver fragrance full of softness and warmth, this is my recommendation."
Fragrantica - "ELEGANT EARTH Beautiful citrus opening that slowly morphs into a rich, smokey, earthy dry down. This version, the Perfume, is best for evening. If you need/want a masterful vetiver, look no further."
