St. Vetyver
St. Vetyver by DS & Durga is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bitter orange, pink pepper and seaweed, moves into sugar, clove and hay and dries down to vetiver and rum. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
Heart
- Sugar Plain sweetness. Usually there to round the edges off something else.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Hay Sun-dried grass and tonka. Warm, rustic and comforting.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
