Vetiver by Carven


This is a light vetiver that is rather fleeting but with some complex, sophisticated character included. It starts out with a burst of lemony, dry citrus and rapidly moves into floral notes of carnation and orris in the middle. The base notes are vetiver and cedar with a lingering floral component that lends a roundness and comfortable feeling to the drydown. There might be some sandalwood in the base as well. This cologne doesn't shout, it is a comforting vetiver that lingers close to the skin. Vetiver Carven is probably more for people who like mature and classic fragrances rather than ozonic or fruity scents.

I found your blog by searching for "Happy" the other day. I recently began paying more attention to fragrances ever since my girlfriend and I were trying out a bunch at a Mall the other weekend.

So far, "Happy", is my favorite scent...I had some a few years ago and am thinking of buying it again. There's a few others out there though that I'm discovering that I like. Escada's "Moon Sparkle" for men is one of them. I especially liked the women's scent of that...reminds me of grape bubble gum...my girl likes it a little, but I don't think she would wear it all the time. Anyway, she would like the men's version on me though. If you get a chance, do a review on that one!

So, just wanted to say that I think your blog is pretty cool.

I'll probably be back once in a while.
