Vetyverio Eau de Toilette Diptyque: Where Nature Fails

Maison Diptyque – legendary and innovative; but, most importantly made of raw materials, done manually in small batches. It is known for quality natural-smelling unisex scents.

Being passionate about vetiver fragrances I wanted to explore Vetyverio by Diptyque. Travel with me back in time to 2010 when this famous perfume was created. Vetyverio is a unique combination of vetiver and rose with a zesty opening full of juicy citruses and a spicy fragrance heart. You will find geranium, carrot seeds, nutmeg and clove. Vetiver is there silently laying in the background.

I give it points for originality. However, it has a fresh herbal element which, in fact, bothers me. I like simple herbal smells but here, combined with citrus, flowers and vetiver, I am perplexed. I would much rather see more of that vetiver and maybe a hint of sweetness. I can appreciate the craft, and the resources; nonetheless, it still does not smell good to me. It makes me feel nauseous.
