Comments on: Lanvin Vetyver… Then and Now http://scentzilla.com/2006/06/04/lanvin-vetyver-then-and-now/ A monster perfume habit. On a rampage... with a wanton waft of sillage in its wake.

I enjoy wearing it. It was so cheap, I really thought it woud be no loss if it ended up being to sweet or whatever, but it's quite nice, sweet and a litle green, very refreshing in the heat. Every time I wear it I find myself sniffing my wrist...and then applying more, but it never gets heavy. Not rude at all! I enjoy wearing it.

Do try Guerlain's, though, too ;) I'm curious, what did YOU think of Pink Musk, if I may be so rude as to ask?

I can definitely do low-end (after all, I bought Jovan's Pink Musk after reading your review). We don't have Wild Oats in GA, but we have Whole Foods, and they may have it. If not, I'll find it online. :) Thanks Katie. I can definitely do low-end (after all, I bought Jovan’s Pink Musk after reading your review).

I love being able to sniff at these Russian goodies you have :) Greeneyes, the one that seems to attract the most folks is generally Guerlain's. But if you don't mind low-end stuff, one I like specifically for summer is Provence Sante's Vetiver. It's not super long-lasting, but it's only $25 for a big ol' bottle, so you can keep it in the fridge and give yourself a nice refresher spray whenever you like. It's reedy and a little earthy, and for the price I think it's perfect for hot weather application and re-application. (Do you have a Wild Oats store nearby? The one I had near me puts their bath & body stuff on 20% off sales every now and again, which makes it even cheaper. Plus, you can test it first to make sure it's okay on you. I didn't care for the others in the PS line, but this one is a nice simple winner.) Cait, will be interesting to hear what you think of them. I think you especially might like the vintage version - I'm not sure why I think that, though. Robin, that's okay, I wasn't so keen on the marine part either, so I sympathize. But the dry down is nice and earthy, and I always seem to like that. March, oh yay! It is really fantastic, and I do wish I hadn't discovered only now that it's been apparently discontinued. It's really one of those scents that DO live up to it's name, I think. So glad it found a good fit with you :) I don't even really like lemongrass, but I make an exception for this particular edp.

Why didn't I try this before! (Oh, Lordy, I need to get busy on those samples) I am deeply thrilled with the lemongrass.

I just finally sampled Guerlain Vetiver Pour Elle which I quite like. I must say, your doggie upstages any perfume or any garden with his wonderfulness. I shall have to try these vetivers.

I'm very intrigued by vetiver fragrances, but unfortunately, the couple I've tried haven't done much for me: Il Profumo Vetiver de Java (so fleeting I can't even tell you what it smelled like) and Anthousa Fig & Vetiver (which should be renamed Anthousa All Fig & No Vetiver). Any others you can suggest I try? This sounds so fresh…like just what I have been craving as it heats up here in Atlanta.

I haven't tried Lanvin's Vetyver, old or new, but, reading your description, it seems to me, it was (probably in its new version) an inspiration for Green Vetiver :-) Katie,
