St. Vetyver is a classically inspired perfume that pays homage to the Caribbean colognes worn by sailors of days past. The fragrance expertly blends a smooth vetiver with sunbaked citrus, sweet cane and a perfect dose of clove-spiced rum.
"St. Vetyver is a robust cologne. A high quality vision of vetyver set amongst Caribbean plants and objects. It pays homage to the famous Caribbean colognes of sailors and lovers of the sea. Pure aged distillate of Haitian vetyver is expanded with sweet notes of cane plant and spiced rhum. Fresh island grass and tropical citrus complete an elegant symphonic perfume. It’s classic DSD – old world updated to modern tastes." — DS & Durga

I love vetiver as a base note so I wanted to try a vetiver-focused fragrance. This is just lovely. They nailed the description. It smells like warm, sweet dried grass/straw. It reminds me a bit of sweet pipe tobacco & I loved it more as it aged on my skin. I was worried it might be too masculine or strong based on a test strip, but it's amazing on & lasted almost all day without being overpowering. Definitely a new favorite.
This smells like Pert shampoo but fancy! Not a lot of projection or longevity but I’m excited to reapply it at the end of the day.
Got a sample of this in the vetiver set - didn’t expect to love a vetiver focused scent as thought it would lean too old school masculine and was really surprised by how much I love this. It keeps to the vetiver spirit but points it decidedly into the Caribbean and unisex category with the warmth that the cane and rum agricole bring.
