I could try with unscented lotion, but I feel I find this scent more interesting to discover than something I'd wear daily. This is more earthy, dark green or perhaps a tad dark brownish. There are probably greener scents out there.

It is somewhat greenish, but I wouldn't call it a full blown green scent. However, I feel this offers more of a complex journey or discovery, especially with the abundance of notes that are present in this composition. I am somewhat reminded of other vetiver scents, but they seem more dedicated to vetiver than this fragrance is. With time, the tea note seems to fade away and the vetiver is what remains. It is a very interesting and complex fragrance, but unfortunately it does not work on my skin. Immediately the tea and the date are more pronounced, creating more freshness and sweetness.

I've worn this for two hours now and I have just poured some water over my skin to get it wet.
The dates and incense support this in the background and give it a sweetness, but on my skin (which is a bit dry) I get a very earthy and dry vetiver, to which the tea note contributes. The vetiver shares it's leading role with tea but it takes some time before both make their presence known. from ĭespite what the name might insinuate, this is not mainly a vetiver scent. Not only does Vetiver Sacre 'pass' for a Vetiver fragrance, it has its own particular place on my Vetiver shelf. But you can't make guacamole with raspberries. An avocado doesn't spring readily to mind when I think "fruit". Perfumer Karin Vichon Spehner appears to have tamed the woody amber. The peppery note is the thin line that provides just the separation needed to keep this fragrance from falling into the hypnotic fugue perfume producers love to call radiance.
If the composition lacks a dynamic to offset the encompassing harmony, your sensory filters would eventually isolate it and turn it off like background noise. This is the sort a linear fragrance that has a deliberate but diaphanous harmony that surrounds you. It gives you a little bit of a slap and separates the woody and sweet notes that might otherwise form a monotonous tone. A black pepper notes acts just as it would in a fruit dish you would eat. The fruit is neither sweet nor tart, or better still, is equally sweet and tart and suggests the crispness of a green apple at the same time that it calls to mind a sweet honeydew melon. This tone feels like the middle ground of musky sweetness and a fictional dry wood. I don't know shit about the nuts and bolts of composition, so I'll talk about notes rather than ingredients. Vetiver Sacre lays a musky sheen over a dry, balanced fruity tone.

Let's open the windows a bit and air out our vetiver criteria. But so would Guerlain Vetiver, the standard bearer of the genre. If replication of a pure vetiver note is your standard, Vetiver Sacre bombs. I've seen other fumies compare Vetiver Sacre to other vetivers, from Maitre Parfumeur's Route du Vetiver to Chanel's Sycomore. Superb, and highly recommended.Ĭoeur de Vetiver Sacre is a Vetiver fragrance the way an avocado is a fruit: technically. This one has gotten no love from most reviewers, but *I* love it and it is the first L'Artisan that is added to my collection and my "Top Ten" list. Those looking for a raw vetiver dominant scent are bound to be disappointed, but if you want a subtle, classy skin scent that uses vetiver as a supporting note well, but features other notes like bergamot, black tea and saffron at the fore, then Coeur de Vetiver Sacre is bound to impress. Projection is minimal to below average, and longevity is above average. Other supporting notes that take even more of a background role to the bergamot, vetiver and saffron, are dates and hints of cedar in the heart, and later-on light musk, semi-sweet amber and castoreum forming the base notes. I get a lot of bergamot and black tea up top similar to the beautiful smell of Earl Grey (and into the heart notes), with a nice vetiver supporting note that is of the non-smokey kind, mixing with a heavy dose of saffron that stays around throughout the scent's development. It is extremely subtle, slightly sweet, and the vetiver is not the primary note to my nose (despite the title). I love vetiver scents, but this one is quite different to the vetivers I have smelled in the past. Despite my reservations on the house it came from, since Luckyscent recommended it after I filled out an extensive questionnaire as to my preferences, I felt I *had* to at least try it. L'Artisan is a house that I have struck out with many times in the past with no hits, so I sampled Coeur de Vetiver Sacre with extremely low expectations.
