Karl Lagerfeld’s Bois de Vetiver seems to me to be a fruity, citrus, floral, and woody fragrance. I really liked the scent: it opens with rich citrus notes, which, while not entirely natural, are pleasant. It then moves to a floral phase where rose stands out along with some spices like cardamomo, and finally, the vetiver is perceived, though for me, very timidly, when I expected something bolder given the name. As the hours passed, I noticed it reminded me of other fragrances until I realised it’s a combination of Declaration and Declaration d’un Soir, but more citrusy, less sharp, spicier, and more evolving than Cartier’s. Its freshness makes it ideal for daytime and a good option for spring, summer, or autumn. In general, Bois de Vetiver offers a new take on vetiver-based fragrances, making them less formal than others I’ve tried.
Lagerfeld’s Bois de Vetiver is a citrus, floral, and woody freshness that I absolutely loved. It begins with rich citrus notes, though not 100% natural but certainly pleasant, then moves to a floral phase where rose dominates with touches of cardamomo. The vetiver, which I expected to be more potent given the name, appears very timidly. Over time, I noticed it smells like a blend of Declaration and Declaration d’un Soir by Cartier, but more citrusy, less sharp, and with better evolution. It’s ideal for daytime and perfect for spring, summer, or autumn. Basically, it gives a fresh twist to vetiver fragrances, making them less formal than usual.
A pleasant and non-intrusive fragrance. The vetiver is softer compared to other products featuring this note. It’s an elegant aroma that evolves well on the skin, suitable for those who enjoy Terre d’Hermes or Declaration. It has a slightly sweet side and explores the vetiver in a different way (if you’re looking for bold vetiver, this isn’t it). It’s quite versatile and informal, with moderate longevity and projection.
I stumbled upon this fragrance by chance, as I wouldn’t normally have considered it due to its obscurity and difficulty in finding it. In Spain, perfumeries usually have a ‘low cost’ shelf, similar to Ferrari or Jaguar, which I rarely browse. What a surprise; I let out a ‘kapachao’ (a term of delight), it’s better than the price suggests. It has a soft citrus opening, neither sharp nor intoxicating, and the dry down is sublime; you can tell the vetiver is high quality. It’s a highly recommended office and business casual scent, although I don’t think it would replace Declaration or TdH.
Just tried it and it’s elegant, hitting the right olfactory note. It lasts about five hours on skin and I’d guess eight on clothes. The trail and projection are a little below average, but the scent is delicious. It’s more subtle during the day than at night, making it perfect for everyday wear. Excellent value for money. Best regards.
Pure vetiver is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with very little middle ground, though there are exceptions. I’ve enjoyed it camouflaged in scents like Eros, Nuit de L’Homme, Dior Homme Intense, and even Zara. As a standalone, Cartier Vetiver Blue felt refined, whereas Guerlain Extreme gave me a headache and I had to wash my skin to get rid of it. I picked it up on offer for $23; the bottle is lovely, reminiscent of YSL but with a transparent cylindrical cap. It opens with a sweet yet acidic orange note, nothing too intrusive. After 20 minutes, a soft, delicate vetiver emerges, accompanied by barely perceptible rose and mint. I detect cardamomo (which isn’t listed) and it adds a touch of elegance. It lasted 6 to 8 hours with a projection of about three metres. I didn’t receive many compliments; only two older women praised it, but it didn’t offend or cause any rejections after 10 days of use in 30-degree heat. It’s a balanced, quality fragrance. If you’re looking for a fresh vetiver, it’s a good buy, but do test it first; the price is unbeatable. PS: More than four sprays give me a headache.
Bought it blind and that’s exactly what happened. I don’t think it smells this good for the price (16 euros). I had just tried earthy, soft vetivers and loved the base of Terre d’Hermès because it lasted all day. Now I’ve tried Bois de Vetiver for the first time and it’s very similar. Soft vetiver aroma, a bit powdery and clean like Terre, but with rose and citrus. I love it and regret not buying the 100 ml version.
Quite rich, reminiscent of Terre d’Hermès without the orange; it has something of Eau de Cartier but I like it more and it’s cheaper. I love it, even if it doesn’t last more than 4 hours. 8/10.
I was looking for something like Declaration of Cartier but without that woody, dirty note. This is it! Fresher and more citrusy but with the same elegance and signature. On my skin, it lasts 8 hours and projects for about 6. I love it.
Wow! For my sensitive nose, accustomed to potent fragrances, this is a surprise. Soft citrus opening with masterful mint. The vetiver arrives slowly, subtle as the shyest guest in the room. You don’t need to be an expert to see it’s well-made with top ingredients. Bottle and cap are beautiful, box is simple but with details to protect it 100%. Ideal for going out to the mall, university, office, interview, proposing, chess, cinema, or church. Smelling good, fresh, and clean without being intrusive, a great all-rounder. Before, I hesitated between Bois de Yuzu, Bois de Cèdre, and this one, and I got it right. But it’s not perfect: the longevity and trail. It projects for two hours and another four inches from the skin (perhaps my pH). If not for that, it would be a 10. Curious to see how it performs at night. First from Lagerfeld, a pleasant impression. Would I recommend it? Of course! Presentation: 9.0, Bottle: 10, Scent: 9.5, Trail: 6.5, Longevity: 7.5, Versatility: 8.5, Praise: 6.0. Blessings from Panama.
Wow! For my nose, accustomed to potent aromas, this is a pleasant surprise. The opening is citrusy, soft, with a masterful touch of mint. The vetiver arrives step by step, as subtle as the shyest boy in the room, without imposing. It’s evident that it’s very well made with quality ingredients. The bottle and box are gorgeous; the latter looks simple but protects everything perfectly. It’s the perfect all-rounder for the mall, university, office, a job interview, proposing to your girlfriend, chess, or the cinema. Clean and fresh without being intrusive. Before, I was torn between Bois de Yuzu, Bois de Cedre, and this one, and I think I made the right choice. The only flaw is the longevity: two hours projecting and four hours close to the skin (perhaps it’s my pH). If it weren’t for that, it would be a 10. Highly recommended! It’s my first Lagerfeld and it has left a good taste in my mouth.
It’s blue, a blend of Bleu and Terre, and costs less than a third of the price. Versatile, easy to like, with exceptional quality and a suspiciously low price. It comes out with grapefruit and sharper mint than Chanel, feeling fresher. In the middle, blood orange from the vetiver, grapefruit from the rose, and mint from the geranium. Performance is decent: two hours of projection and another four inches from the skin. Soapy finish. Among the hyped ‘cheapies’, it outperforms Encre Noire Sport and Bentley Intense. You don’t need to be an expert; it works every day, elegant and even sexy.
To be brief, it smells good, but in my opinion, it’s more suited to women than men; it’s too feminine.
What a lovely scent! Citrus, soft vetiver, a touch of sweetness, and very elegant. Highly recommended.
It’s a blue fragrance with roots in Bleu and Terre, and it costs less than a third of either of them. That speaks volumes about its versatility, exceptional quality, and suspiciously low price. The opening revisits the grapefruit and mint in the style of Bleu, but more acidic and fresh than the Chanel icon. In the heart phase, blood orange yields to vetiver, grapefruit to rose, and mint to geranium, all very harmonious. Projection and longevity are decent: two hours at a metre’s distance and another four within about 20 cm. The final stages are soapy, confirming its blue facet. Among the hyped ‘cheapies’, it should be ranked above Encre Noire Sport and Bentley for Men Intense. You don’t need to be a fanatic to enjoy it; it works every day, it’s elegant, and even sexy.
Very good for everyday wear; quality-to-price ratio on par with major brands. Fresh, citrusy, and clean. Perfect for starting the day after a shower and breakfast. Citrus opening, soft heart without being harsh. Discreet trail and medium longevity.
To me, it smells fruity with a very delicate rose note. Don’t confuse it with Terre d’Hermès just because of the name or the orange, which here is sweet and perfectly fine. The vetiver is only in the title. Ideal for the office or hot weather, it’s not intrusive, although it doesn’t last forever; it’s worth it for the price.
What a marvel! It’s a masterpiece, a hidden niche gem of the finest quality.
Citrus opening with lemon, vetiver, and that exquisite orange from Hermès; I think it’s very similar but not quite the same as the perfume Un Jardin au Sud du Nil. It’s good, fresh for any occasion. 1 Vetiver daily and formal, sporty. 2 Zuyu fresh for daily sporty use. 3 Cedar, soapy scent, I don’t like it as much as these two. Vetiver or Zuyu, yes, I recommend them…
Very fine and elegant, it smells like something more expensive. The performance is good. If you test it on blotter paper, the rose and geranium dominate and it seems feminine; on skin it changes, the flowers remain but the citrus, mint, and then the vetiver (very subtle and informal) and the musk make it a unisex masculine. It’s versatile, smells great, projects well, and lasts many hours. For the price, it’s a gem.
A very refined and elegant perfume that smells more expensive than it is. The performance is good. On blotter paper, the rose and geranium dominate so much that it seems feminine, but on skin it changes: the flowers remain, but the citrus, mint, and then the vetiver (very subtle and informal to my taste) along with the musk make it a unisex masculine scent. It’s versatile, smells great, projects well, and lasts many hours. For its price, it’s a jewel.
Delicious, I like it. I use it for work after a shower because of the good price. It gives me great energy.
What a delight; this is quality and spectacular, undoubtedly a hidden gem that isn’t mentioned as it deserves. I love it, and every time I breathe it in, I love it more.
I don’t understand how it remains a hidden gem. It’s super soft and delicate, projecting only if you walk and leave a trail. Among men’s scents, it’s the polar opposite of things like YSL Kuorus, Tom Ford Ombre Leather, or Blentley Intense. If those smell like a rough man with a beard and chest hair who works with tools, this Bois de Vetiver smells like the delicate man who doesn’t raise his voice, walks impeccably, and always smiles. It’s the other masculine extreme. For the price, few perfumes deliver so much value.
I don’t understand how it remains a hidden gem. It’s extremely soft and delicate, not projecting unless you walk leaving a trail. Among men’s scents, it’s the opposite of perfumes like YSL Kuorus or Tom Ford Ombre Leather: while those scream rough man with beard and chest hair, this Bois de Vetiver projects the delicate man, who doesn’t raise his voice, looks impeccable, and always smiles. It’s the other side of masculinity. For the price, few give so much.
It’s a fine fragrance, with the vetiver not as strong as in those focused on that note, and the rose really stands out. The only downside is that it’s not strong and the scent clings to the skin quickly.
I went out to buy a beer and try it for the first time. At first, it reminds me of Narciso Bleu Noire, but once it dries down, it becomes delicious. Low projection, citrusy style, and moderate longevity; ideal for feeling clean and fresh, it’s a top option for the price.
It’s a good softie; I have to put on more than fifteen sprays for it to last… the smell is, a delight. I bought it for the hype and reviews, but the truth is it’s not potent.
There are perfumes that give you confidence and presence, that something that makes you feel invincible for picking up someone or just to feel incredible; this is one of them. Although it doesn’t project much and you need several sprays for it to shine at its best, it’s a crisp and elegant scent that women love.
One of my top fragrances; that vetiver with rose is absolutely insane, ufff.
Burberry The Beat, my first blind test.
A good fragrance, fresh and elegant, very masculine. Excellent for work. An aroma that doesn’t become cloying, with a fresh and earthy dry-down. I recommend it for any weather, especially in the heat. If you like vetiver, you’ll love it.
Reminds me of Adolfo Domínguez’s Vetiver Terra, but drier and without the sweet touch. Over time it smells like Nivea-style body cream and works well for both men and women. It doesn’t expand or explode; it stays close to the skin. At 30 euros for 100ml, I find it pricey for home use, though I like the bottle.
I was looking for raw, citrusy vetiver, but here it’s barely noticeable; grapefruit, mint and florals dominate. It hardly makes a presence, ideal for the office or small spaces. Fresh for spring, but it disappears completely in summer. 4/10.
Fresh and livelier than Bois de Cypres, which I found too sweet. Both smell synthetic on blotter, but on skin Bois de Vetiver surprises with freshness and versatility, though it feels flat for the first three hours. At €140, it seems expensive for a five-hour longevity, but it’s worth trying.
It’s not an aromatic explosion. Bois de Vetiver is woody, earthy and elegant, with vetiver as the star and a sweet base. The trail is subtle and longevity is limited. Perfect for everyday wear, but its projection is intimate. I’d recommend trying it before buying. I’m already on my second bottle.
There is Jeep Aventure, an exact replica of Lagerfeld’s Bois de Vetiver made by Diamond for Jeep. Excellent quality and available at Carrefour for €12. Although I prefer the original, this is a bargain if you can’t find the Lagerfeld version.
I already own the second bottle. A rich and pleasant fragrance.
Citrusy, sharp and slightly sour due to the blend of rose and earthy vetiver. Elegant and mature, very similar to Cartier Declaration. Ideal if you’re looking for something serious and office-appropriate, not youthful.
A fresh orange scent that turns soapy and elegant, with a light green vetiver and a constant acidic touch. Low projection, but it lasts hours close to the skin. Dry down reminds me of After Game El Ganso.
