What fragrance are you wearing today?

Vetiver Veritas (Heeley) lavender, mint, vetiver

Smoky, oily vetiver and not much more. It's genuine right down to its rooty bones. The lavender and mint last only a minute before being swallowed whole by a wave of vetiver. There may be some grapefruit rind in there too, but it never really joins the dance. I love everything about this fragrance but the price (about $195 for 50 ml). If you're tight like me, you can get nearly the same reeky results with a $5 sample of Javan double distilled vetiver oil.

Freddy: Seeing just a wee drop of that vintage Vetiver left in the bottom of your flask makes me weep. That was good stuff.

Today I drenched myself with the current pale version of Guerlain Vetiver, but I can hardly smell it.

That is what I have been so concerned about, Bouki.  I have been wanting to get a replacement bottle but have heard the same as you have pointed out here, that the new iteration isn't as good.  Do you have any ideas of a decent vetiver for a replacement because you are right about my bottle; I have one, maybe two uses left.
