Awful, awful, AWFUL! Blech!

I came across a 50 ml splash of this at a thrift store and as soon as I opened the box, I was greeted with a strong wave of pongy, old lady musk that got right up my nose. I didn’t even remove the cap. That’s how potent the musk is in this. I could smell the remnants of this nasty ass musk for at least an hour afterwards on the tip of my nose. This is disgusting!!

Reading the reviews, I get the impression that everyone was smelling something different from whatever everyone else was smelling. I did a blind buy some time ago and I don't know if it has turned or what. It certainly doesn't smell like the vetiver I know and it's very pungent with beastly projection and sillage. I don't even know how to break down the notes, it's just not good in hot weather because it becomes very cloying in nothing flat. Not to knock Puig's products but I almost threw this one out.

Some clever people at Delft University of Technology have developed an algorithm to analyse the facial features of portraits. They scanned the data points from many Rembrandt paintings and then combined them, which became 'The Next Rembrandt', a picture based on the statistical average of the artist's work.

It shows a Dutch burgher in black hat and coat with a large ruff collar. The computer has perfectly reproduced the painter's technique and the picture looks like a real Rembrandt, but the subject lacks individuality - he's an everyman with no soul.

This may be an impressive feat of engineering but the folks at Puig have long since discovered the trick. They took the measurements of Paco Rabanne pour Homme and Quorum, worked out the average, added some vetiver and programmed it into the compounding machine.

In most of the so called Vetiver perfumes (Guerlain, Creed, Lanvin, Carven, etc) the vetiver note is buried by a plethora of other notes that drown and do not let the"star note" of the perfume breathe normally.
Guerlain is more of a tobacco perfume rather than vetiver, Lanvin's too much juniper and cloves, Carven's too much tart lemon, Azzaro's pure vetiver is more of a spice scent, and I can go on and on with this.
Puig's is, on the other hand, a real Vetiver scent. Vetiver is dominant and you can really enjoy and appreciate what that note is all about. There are other notes in the perfume, but they support and compliment the main note and do not rob the spotlight from it.
I like those other vetiver perfumes (well, with the exception of the reformulated Carven), but if I want "VETIVER" I'll stick with Puig's anytime (too bad Indian Vetiver is not longer available).
Puig's is the most honest Vetiver in the market.
Sillage and longevity are adecuate

A balanced vetiverThe core freatures have been described well in previous reviews, and Bokaba is spot on in regard to the balance and this scent. On my skin it is more on the restrained side, less forceful and elemental than it's Molinard cousin but a classic vetiver nonetheless. A plus is the very decent longevity of over five hours.

Gorgeous long lasting vetiver scent from the Antonio Puig House in Barcelona, Spain.

Beautifully done in a masculine way; you can detect most notes if you pay attention carefully...

Ideal for any time of the day and an all year round scent...big thumbs up...!!!
