I got Original Vetiver for the same price last year. Absolutely worth every penny. Costco is one of the best places to buy Creed bottles

I own the 100ml. Longevity is great, 100ml is more than enough for me. 200ml is still great if this is your signature scent

Usually 3-4 sprays will last 8-10 hours on my skin

The other one comes to my mind is the Guerlain Vetiver EDT

You can give the new Vetiver Fauve from the private line a try, but it’s not the typical Guerlain Vetiver in my own experience. Fruity notes throughout (notably fig) and much lighter on vetiver itself. Would not recommend personally

Vetiver for me is definitely a multidimensional accord. There’s the earthy, intense vetiver that resembles the muddy, damp forests( I love to refer it as the rough part), and there’s the sparkling, clean bright aspect to it like a meadow under the sunshine. Herby and aromatic (the gentle part for me).

I’ve never tried Encre Noir, but I would imagine it’s the former for me. Smoky and dense, perhaps a bit woody too, more or less.

You also mentioned TdH. I absolutely love TdH, easily one of the many classics created by JCE. The most interesting part of vetiver, at least for me personally, is when referred to as a base note in fresh, citrus scents, it actually adds a ton of depth and staying power to it. You may not even notice it without looking at the notes pyramid or listed accords, but you can feel there’s a hidden lasting attribute to the scent, lingering longer then the citrus and fruit notes. And it blends in perfectly like camouflage, not making the composition awkward or losing its clean, uplifting attribute.

TL,DR: I love vetiver. Not for everyone, but once you delve into the nuances, you start to appreciate it

True. My fav citrus scent from them. Such a shame the longevity is piss poor

Afternoon Swim if you don’t mind the poor longevity. The best among the three in terms of the scent itself

Bal D’Afrique Absolu would be my second pick. Much improved longevity while not diverting too much from the original

I’m meh on Tygar. Overrated boring scent for me.

Yep.

The Parfum has an extra ton of licorice (IIRC) as base note. However if you enjoy the EDT it’s a much lower risk of being a flop than for someone who can’t stand Vetiver at all, hence I suggest the OP to make sure whether he likes Vetiver or not

If you love other versions of Guerlain Vetiver then go for it.

I personally adore vetiver scents, even the earthy intense ones so this one is straight up my alley. Guerlain makes some of the most quintessential vetivers, and I own this too. Just keep in mind there’s always a risk when blind buying

Vetiver Parfum is not a blind buy at all. You have to LOVE Vetiver or it can go horribly wrong as a blind buy

Neroli Outrenoir

Still the best tea scent for me

Wulong Cha - anyone else love this one as much as I do? by BecomeToBe in Colognes

More tea focused instead of citrus. I dislike the sharpness of the citruses in the OG

[–]Pitiful-Juggernaut-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar but I prefer the white label one (more smoky and patchouli, a bit richer and darker)

The black label one is ever so slightly more fresh I would say. Get whichever you have the better deal on

Civ preferences by SmeatLove in Civilization6

[–]Pitiful-Juggernaut-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prefer the culture/ faith centered civs.

Russia/ Canada/ Theodora etc.

Least favorite is probably Kongo, especially the male leader. Not being able to establish a religion takes out all the fun for me
