“Opens with a juicy blast of grapefruit, quickly transforms into into a soapy vetiver & cedar, then dries down into a woody/oakmoss-y base. Smells a lot like Terre D'Hermes. It also reminds me of Hacivat in the drydown, but less focus on the oakmoss, more focus on the cedar. The strong vetiver in the opening was too much, smelled a bit screechy to me but I'm also not a huge fan of strong vetiver scents in general. I'd wear this to the office or on a hot summer day - also it performs very very well for a summer scent, as do most of Sospiro's scents.”

“Gentlemanly green and woody fragrance, with mid longevity and sillage. Well made, but nothing to write home about, especially for this price point. I bet you can find similar cheapies for fraction of the cost. Fragrances of this type with this performance are not too hard to make, so cheaper houses do them often.”

“It has some similarities with Terre D’hermes but not much. TDH is a polarizing scent, SV is appealing. TDH has a dirty side, SV is bright. TDH is suitable for casual and formal occasions, SV is screaming “I am a formal occasion fragrance”, classy, elegant. SV is a beast, incredible longevity and sillage, room filler. TDH has moderate longevity and sillage.I have both TDH and SV, imo if you have a large collection, having both is not redundant.”
