Le Loden is, quite literally, a first-class vetiver: dark, aromatic, with a solid structure that is immediately noticeable. It starts out spicier and lighter, but then gains a camphoraceous touch from the geranium before the vetiver’s density really opens up. It suits me well; it’s very masculine and long-lasting, though for me it recalls Lalique’s Encre Noire line, particularly Al Extreme, just with a bit more quality. Others might pick up more nuances, but Lalique’s price-to-quality ratio is unbeatable, so if you have to choose, this one falls a little short. That said, trying it and comparing is the best approach. Rating: 7/10. Tested from the official Discovery Set.

Extreme! The opening transported me back to childhood: a distinctive, penetrating scent dominated by a beastly amount of vetiver that swallows almost everything else. Perhaps if you listen closely, you can faintly detect mandarin and juniper, with an alcoholic start reminiscent of gin and herbal liqueur. Overall, it smells like inhaling balls of camphor, with a mentholated touch like Vick Vaporub and a medicinal base akin to Epidifen. Buff, too much for me… Although it evolves while retaining that balsamic sensation, with woody notes (pine) and even moss appearing, I still don’t grasp its charm. It’s purely masculine and, to be honest, I would never wear it. That said, it has nothing to do with Red Vetiver, Terre d’Hermès, or the Encre Noire trilogy. For those who love old-school colognes and vetiver, give it a try. Perfumery greetings.

Perhaps if you listen closely, you can make out the mandarin and juniper, with an alcoholic start that recalls gin and herbal liqueur. Overall, it smells like inhaling camphor balls, with a mentholated touch like Vick’s VapoRub and a medicinal base reminiscent of Efferanalgan. Blimey, too much for me… Although it evolves, maintaining that balsamic sensation and revealing woody notes (pine) and even moss, I just don’t get its charm.
