Guerlain Vetiver; He has me by my Heart

I love men's colognes on women, it's a subtle nod to thinking about a man you love or even just to fantasize that you just kissed a man and he left a subtle lingering of  fragrance.                     Off to the Races     I can't deny the way he holds my hand

And he grabs me, he has me by my heart

He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past

He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me

He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart       
                                                                                              It all started over 50 years ago, and it’s still going strong today. Guerlain Vetiver was first released in 1958, and then it was reformulated and repackaged in 2000. The newer version, which isn’t a far cry from the original, offers guys a classy and sexy cologne that they can appreciate. It’s filled with earthy scents of tobacco, nutmeg and coriander, as well as citrusy accords of orange and lemon. A beautiful balance between fresh and woodsy. Guerlain Vetiver is a distinctively men’s cologne. But it is my favorite.  Overall, the cologne has a warm, earthy aroma that’s intense and captivating. Given that that’s not the norm nowadays, Guerlain Vetiver provides a singular option for today’s modern man

A high-quality cologne is worth its weight in gold. That’s what makes Guerlain Vetiver such a worthy investment. While other, especially newer, fragrances target more gender-neutral bouquets, Vetiver is definitively masculine. The base notes of tobacco and citrus have an engaging interplay that makes it both fresh and earthy. When you wear it you’ll enjoy the contrast of its woodsy subtleness and citrusy refinement. It’s particularly nice during warm-weather months. That said, Guerlain Vetiver might not be your everyday fragrance, but it will definitely be the gold standard by which you judge your nighttime colognes.

New and more intensive Vetiver was introduced almost half a century after the classic Vetiver, which has remained one of the most popular men's fragrances until today. 

The new Vetiver has got more modern tone due to intensified presence of spices. The green grassy notes are not so strong like in the classic Vetiver. In the top notes the citrus harmony of bergamot and lemon is followed by tarragon and Licorice note. The hot spicy notes of the heart include pepper and nutmeg, what accentuates the extreme adventurous side of the fragrance. Frankincense adds dramatic smoky note to the heart. The base is more oriental and intensive then the classic version, and beside vetiver root it includes cedar wood and balsamic Tonka bean note.
