Tom Ford Grey Vetiver was released in 2009 - a sophisticated masculine fragrance that features vetiver throughout the entire span of the fragrance. Easy to wear, it works from the office through evening - it is classy and mature without being "old." This was a 2010 CEW Awards finalist. Notes of citrus, spice, wood and vetiver.
From Influenster - "Regardless this is a true classic and a sophisticated scent for any man. Not something for everyday use or for a teen, but a young professional through to an old man should love this and feel like a he's wearing a suit, even if he's naked."
From Now Smell This - "Grey Vetiver is a subtle fragrance; it begins with warm citrus and moves quickly to a pleasant “smoky” phase. The rich smokiness is followed by a gleam of “sweat” (perhaps the grapefruit making its debut). The heart of Grey Vetiver is vetiver with a touch of toasted tonka and nutmeg. As the scent dries down, I smell pepper and warm woods (cypress-cedar?) In the extreme dry down, the sweaty note reappears, mingling nicely with the notes (now fading) that came before."
From Mr. Essentialist - " Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver, the perfectly non-aqua-themed spring scent that a.) doesn’t involve ads of models jumping off cliffs in Positano, and b.) is warm and generous where many other fragrances wane. Top notes of sage, orange flower and warm wood work to invigorate, while a rich blend of amber wood, moss and nutmeg serve as warm base notes, creating a truly elegant experience. Indian vetiver, around which the fragrance is centered, ensures a characteristically masculine vibe that remains energized (translation: this thing will smell good for a while)."

I love this scent. It's my favorite vetiver fragrance, and one of my favorite TFs. I almost like it as much as Oud Wood.
The only thing that keeps me from purchasing a bottle is the lack of longevity - for me it lasts only an hour or two before I'm pressing my nose to my wrist to see if it's still there. Others might hold the scent better. Definitely try this, I think it's a great crisp summer fragrance, and works for women too.
This is my favorite everyday/office scent. It's absolutely crisp and clean, getting those grapefruit notes right away and settles into the soapy vetiver and spice with the slightest hint of the orange blossom. It's not overpowering at all or intrusive and not too sweet (which I tend to dislike for a men's cologne with one exception) Great all around.
