  One of the best vetivers I’ve tried. It blends modern citrus with a fresh, cheerful, and fruity vetiver, thanks to a subtle touch of plum. It’s very well balanced: you can feel the root, but it’s not earthy. Ideal for those who aren’t vetiver fans or want to dip their toes in; perfect for the office or daily wear. Lasts over eight hours with good projection. Highly recommended, though perhaps not for purists of the note.

  It caught me off guard. I was expecting a classic Guerlain-style vetiver, but this is another world: a fresh vetiver with a plum note that adds sweetness without being heavy or gourmand. To me, that masculine and sensual vibe reminds me of a man straight from the shower—clean and attractive. Thanks to the plum, it becomes unisex and natural. At first, with the citrus, it’s more masculine, but then it balances out and is perfect for any age or weather. It doesn’t overwhelm in heat or cold; it’s a quality all-rounder that doesn’t turn plastic when you sweat.

  In the opening, I perceived good quality citrus, in harmony, and a somewhat sweet and creamy impression, perhaps given by the plum note. Five hours after application, it reminded me of portions of Cartier Declaration, but always feeling that distinctive sweet note. Twelve hours after application, it seems similar to portions of Terre d’Hermes, perhaps due to the orange, vetiver, and cedar notes. It is clearly a distinct vetiver, although the note is not dominant; more fruity and indulgent at the beginning, away from green or spiced vetivers. On me, the trail was moderate and the longevity exceeded twelve hours. I see it as good for intermediate seasons and daytime use, as a personal enjoyment fragrance. PS: I forgot to mention, I didn’t perceive the oud note. If it is there, it passes too unnoticed.

  At first, quality citrus with a sweet and creamy impression from the plum. After five hours, it smells like parts of Cartier Declaration, and by twelve hours, it recalls Terre d’Hermes with its orange, vetiver, and cedar. It’s a different kind of vetiver, more fruity and indulgent at the start than the green or spicy ones. The trail is moderate and lasts over twelve hours. I see it as ideal for intermediate seasons and daytime wear as a fragrance of enjoyment. PS: I didn’t notice the oud; if it’s there, it goes unnoticed.

  It really resembles Vetiver Tonka, but without some nuances of that one that make it a bit less special. Still, a very good Atelier fragrance. In the opening, you can smell the citrus a bit, but they disappear quickly and what I smell most is vetiver mixed with plum, giving it a sweet touch. I don’t notice the oud that it says it carries. The evolution is almost the same; it doesn’t change much in the dry-down, perhaps it becomes a bit sweeter. I recommend it for spring/autumn. Longevity and projection are acceptable.

  I loved it. Citrus opening that gives way to vetiver with the just-right sweet touch of plum. The violet leaves are very light, and I don’t detect the woods. It’s versatile, for day and night. Moderate duration and trail.

  I met it alongside Musc Imperial, and I loved the latter for its resemblance to Aventus. As for VF, it seemed strange to me in its bitterness. Over time, it began to intrigue me, until finally settling among my favourites for good weather. Currently, Musc Imperial bores me, and I enjoy VF very much.

  I bought it blindly years ago thanks to Drakecito’s review… It was my first truly good fragrance. I use it little because I love and respect it so much. I use other things that are cheaper because I’m not rich and I’m very grateful (just like with cooking and music) with perfumes, but… when I want to smell something truly delicious, I go to my Atelier colognes. I’m an ignoramus when it comes to perfumery topics, and it would be an adventure to concretise my sensations with Vetiver Fatale; I’ll just say that if you like vetiver and can afford it, this fragrance is worth it in every sense.

  I bought it blind years ago thanks to Drakecito’s review, and it was my first fragrance I truly loved. I use it sparingly because I adore and respect it; I use other, cheaper things because I’m not rich and I’m very grateful with perfumes, just as I am with cooking or music. But when I want to smell something truly rich, I go to my Atelier colognes. I’m a layman in perfumery and wouldn’t dare pin down my feelings about Vetiver Fatale, but I’ll just say that if you like vetiver and can afford it, it’s worth it in every sense.

  A delicious fragrance, with a vetiver that feels more ‘floral’ than woody thanks to the sweet touch provided by the plum and violet leaf, with the citrus balancing it to give the necessary freshness. It reminds me of Bal d’Afrique (but they are different), which I could smell in the perfumery alongside this Atelier one. I’m sticking with Vetiver Fatale because it feels more natural and woody to me, although both smell very good. VF is unisex and smells classy, though in my particular taste, a woman would get more out of it; there is no Encre Noir-style vetiver here. By the way, I don’t smell any trace of oud. High longevity (more than 10 hours on my skin), moderate projection for the first 2-3 hours. High price but appropriate for its composition quality and scent, as well as performance. Au revoir!

  Vetiver Fatal opens quite citrusy with notes of bergamot, vetiver, and plum, giving it a sweet and creamy touch, yet fresh at the same time. I think I also detect a bit of violet leaf, which adds a floral green touch and balances the perfume very well. Without a doubt, this is the best phase. That creamy trail fades away until, about 4 hours later, it’s completely lost and is simply a somewhat sweet citrus and vetiver cologne, lasting another 4 hours before disappearing. It’s a totally unisex, super pleasant, and summery perfume, though it could work in spring and autumn too. It has surprised me very positively as, besides being an excellent interpretation of a typical summer cologne, it lasts a fortune for an EdC. If I see a good offer, I won’t hesitate to get one. Every time I use it, I imagine myself with a straw hat, sunglasses, a white linen shirt, shorts, and sandals, walking, fresh and carefree, in some coastal village under a sun that melts the stones. They say it resembles Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique, but I own both and I think BdA is much more floral and has far less vetiver (and lasts less than 1/4 of VF for double the price). Without a doubt, my favourite vetiver today. Pleasant: 9/10 Interesting: 7/10 Versatile: 6/10 Original: 7/10

  I agree that it is a DISTINCT VETIVER. I don’t smell it as earthy, dark, or smoky. In fact, it feels clean thanks to the fairly balanced citrus. I own the ENCRE NOIRE saga, which revolves around an earthy and somewhat dark vetiver, and I love them all. The SPORT version is quite pleasant and has that twist that makes it different from the rest. Regarding VF, I don’t detect the sweetness. It might be very subtle, or perhaps the cool/cold weather I’m in right now prevents me from perceiving it. I’ll try it another time to see how it goes, but definitively, it’s a bottle worthy of adding to my collection.

  I’ve been re-testing this after a while, having owned the 100ml bottle before, and definitively, it IS A DISTINCT VETIVER. There is a slight sweetness added by the plum, but nothing cloying. I believe, in addition to the broad citrus blend, the neroli flower gives it that clean, subtle floral touch, yet it’s not a feminine flower. It’s a clean masculine scent.

  Super fruity fragrance, with that radiant, creamy plum note hitting first. As for the vetiver? I barely smell it, perhaps lurking in the background behind the neroli. The sensation is of a musky aroma… Maybe ‘Musk Fatal’ would have been a better name. On my skin, it projects well and lasts quite a long time. I find it versatile, perhaps an all-weather scent, suitable for summer evenings too. Unisex with a leaning towards the masculine, though a woman could wear it perfectly. I don’t own anything similar to this ‘musky plum’ in my collection, so it seems like a good recommendation for anyone looking for something different.
