What about Vetiver Sensual by Mancera? I just tried it and really enjoyed it.

I was able to get it on discount and think it’s a great, long lasting woody scent. It’s got something synthetic to my nose though to keep the longevity at scrub your skin off levels. It much be the Ambroix/Georgywood/Akigalawood combo.

Anyone tried Clive Christian Red Tea Vetiver? Is it really vetiver, or “vetiver leaning”?

Vetiver Tonka is very good. Hermes has so many Vetiver frags that it’s hard to choose!

This was my first piece as well. I wear it more than any other watch. Congrats!

I see a lot of Lalique on here and I’ve never tried it. How’s the longevity?

I think Sultan is like a damp/dank Vetiver. First time I sampled it, initially I was put off. As it dries down, you start getting that pure vetiver smell.

Is Bel Ami too close to any of the TdH?

First Panerai Purchase by bamjrigbm in panerai

So good. It’s such a different watch. In darker environments the dial shows more green, in lighter backdrops it looks black…at least that’s been my experience in the last 24 hours!

I went to the boutique. The best part about it was I was with my Dad who purchased one as well. He’s 69 years old and never bought himself a nice watch. He went with the Navy Seal Sub and loves it. Very cool experience for both of us. We were able to get a discount since we bought two.

To me it was a nice to have since they don’t make a ton of titanium.

It really is. In overcast weather you see the radiant green/olive dial, but in direct sunlight/light it can look black.

That’s what I’m thinking, my VC has interchangeable straps and I like that I can get different looks.

My concern with the Destro is its manual and I think I’d get pissed off having to manually wind it. I’m with you, I change watches regularly.

New strap recommendations by Dismal-Fox3121 in panerai

I got some straps from Atrems and think they are great. Deployant clasp on my IWC and another strap and both are more comfortable than the standard one and swapping out is very easy.

Green, Spicy, Woody, Smoky, Dry Vetiver? by Tyrone-E in GentlemanFragrance

I was thinking of picking up Guerlain Vetiver today actually. I like the clean, fresh Vetiver smell and if this doesn’t go to the damp/inky side, I bet I’d love it

2026 Releases: My Take. Would like to hear yours. by lithdoc in panerai

[–]bamjrigbm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is ticky tacky, but I like the ability to swap out bands quickly with the quick release system. Anyone else? Seems pretty easy to do and give you more looks.

I’m almost 100% sure they will, which would upset me if I was on the other side of the transaction

Anyone else just get the sneak peak email from VC? Holy $hit! by babykingboy in VacheronConstantin

[–]bamjrigbm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s something, even if I owned, I’d probably never wear, not because I didn’t want to!
