I love this. Learned so much! Please please find someone to do a video like this on Tonka Bean. Since it's banned in the US, I can only really read about it.
Vertiver is also a good insect/parasite deterent, soothes stomachs, nerves, and inflamatory disease. The fact it helps soil erosion and water retention in sandy soil is amazing. We need to grow so much more of this. Smell you later!
Thanks for this extremely informative video Sebastian. It's taken me years to figure out that vetiver is my most appreciated note. Now all my fragrance purchases are dominated by this fact. Great content again. An educated consumer is the best customer.
Brilliant! This is type of documentary is what we perfume aficionados need to know what is in the bottles we love so much. By the way we here in Senegal have been drinking vetiver flavoured water for centuries without any problems. It is also prescribed to women after giving bith.
your content continues to be on the top of my watch list. This video is an example of why... so tired of the same old 101 content of most you tubers competing to review the hype of the day rather then celebrating the art of fragrance. Thank you! I have several vetiver dominant fragrances in my collection, been reaching for Sel de Vétiver (The Different Company) the most recently. Fazzolari's fragrances are quite interesting, Love UNSETTLED... I need to check out Vetiverissimo for sure. Thanks again, And keep 'em coming!
Brilliant!! I love this one. Can we please see more of these educational vids. So many things I'd like to learn about certain scent notes. I mean like what the hell is Tonka bean and all that 😂😂
Fantastic video Sebastian & Bruno! I knew that vetiver could vary (clean vs. dirtier - I love both), but didn't realize the extent of variations. Great information and again, thank you!
Its funny, i gave my buddy a sample of Terre Dhermes and hea like eh i dont really like it, it smells like a hamster cage. And now that he said that , i cant un smell it. Obviously when the dry down hits it is much more smooth and refined.
This was facinating to listen to , from a true expert on not only where it can come from but also just how varied it can be and why it can change depending on all the outisde factors 👍
Awesome video! Why don't you enable likes/dislikes? This video absolutely deserves big-bige like! Thank you for your work!!! I noticed a few bottles of parfume on the table, what was it?
The etymology of the word is Tamil. From the south of India and it is non toxic definitely and yummy. Known as khus in the north of India. We use it daily and for cooling both the home and body. Ayurveda perhaps will tell you all the medicinal uses. Also, for the French connection, how it came be grown in Haiti, the French colony of Pondicherry anyone. Lots of vetiver still grown there. Usually along the banks of any water body. It a wonderful cash and medicinal crop that double as excellent ground cover to prevent erosion. Also cleans the air.
Hi Sebastian - are you able to give some examples of well-known designer fragrances where vetiver is a prominent note? Vetiver is listed in some of the fragrances I have but, as I’ve never smelled the raw ingredient, I’m curious to know how I would identify it?
Very interesting 🤔 thanks for this! I was wondering if you can help me distinguish a certain note that gives off grapey vibes.....I have some perfumes that have whiff of grapes in them, and looking up the notes there is absolutely NO grapes in them. Do you know what notes that might be?
Hi Sebastian. I am currently catching up on your videos. (I relocated from Florida to Portland, Oregon in the last four weeks. Things take so much time. ) I am amazed at this video, just completely floored. 😍 Bruno Fazzolari has a quiet confidence and is so knowledgeable and down to earth. The two of you are both passionate about vetiver, communicate so well, and it clearly shows. 😎 I really love learning about the genetic intricacies of individual essential oils. It would be extremely cool if you could put together a similar review using patchouli as the star of the show. Patchouli remains my all time favorite perfume oil. 🌿🌱🗺️🌛🗝️☮️☯️
@@ThePerfumeGuy I remain entranced by Gallivant Tokyo. I still really want this fragrance. 😍 I love the atmosphere up here in Oregon. Literally, the expansive nature is fantastic. It feels like a cross between the airiness of Hawaii and the winteryness of the midwest. My hometown is Detroit, Michigan. I have missed the four seasons for many years. There will not be anywhere near as much snow here in Portland, but after 30+ years in Florida I will need to acclimate slowly. 🌲🌲☔🌩️🌨️⛄💜💜💜
@@ThePerfumeGuy I just watched this review yesterday. The watermelon note caught my attention. 😁 Yes, I took note of the gorgeous nature scenery surrounding you. I love the amazing, tall evergreen trees here. 🌲🌲💜💜💜
Very educational. You and I had a few emails about vetiver a few months back. I picked up Terre d'Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver recently and really like that one. Do you do a review of it yet?
Just an outstanding video. One of the best illustrations of the many facets of the world of perfumery. It really has intrigued me to obtain at least a couple of Bruno's creations. I love Vetiver. I love my Encre Noire!!
I really enjoyed this video! I love vetiver and loved learning about what it is, where it's resourced and how it's distilled. Also, Bruno Fazzolari has become one of my favorite houses ☺️
Sebastian, what a great video!!! I'm happy how I learned today with you and your expert guest. This type of content makes the difference with other respectable reviewers. Thanks a lot!
Great video, Sebastian! I was curious about vetiver. These are the kinds of educational videos that help those of us who are learning. I think I have a good nose, but I'm not sure how to identify different notes in a fragrance, especially if I'm not sure how they should smell. Top 20 videos or the best fragrances in different families/seasons are great. However, these educational videos will help you audience more. This is teaching us how to fish, rather than giving us a fish. Thanks!
