I'm not necessarily saying that these scents will make the wearer an intellectual, but when I wear iris or vetiver I am always put into a very thoughtful mood. They always seem to stimulate my brain waves.

I like yesterday's VE for its brill execution of a 'solivetiver' but prefer my vet blanketed in warmer, sweeter nuances, so it's no wonder that VT claims the top spot in my heart. Can't wait for tomorrow's review! :)Dusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06499372234215611666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-89712572210696722132008-10-23T18:59:00.000+01:002008-10-23T18:59:00.000+01:00You're in for a treat tomorrow then ;-)VT is the o...You're in for a treat tomorrow then ;-)<BR/>VT is the one I wear of the time myself: it's amazingly easy to pull off on every occasion from casual to dressy, summer through winter.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-89958820374978544142008-10-23T18:43:00.000+01:002008-10-23T18:43:00.000+01:00I guess I don't have a sample of Vetiver Orientale...I guess I don't have a sample of Vetiver Orientale (I thought I did), but instead, I put on some Vetiver Tonka this morning, and was reminded how lovely it is.

I tried it over the summer, and found it far too sweet and gourmand for me, but perhaps it is worth re-testing it in the colder weather. I've seen some export bottles still available here.Jarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320628861633769796noreply@blogger.com
