The review
Vetiver scores 6.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Vetiver.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Vetiver's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Vetiver — the cheapest of 8 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Essence Vault publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Guerlain Vetiver is lemon, bergamot and neroli at first, vetiver, nutmeg and pepper at its heart and Tonka Bean, cedar and musk at the end. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Base

- musk
Smoky-earthy Haitian vetiver spiked with nutmeg and tobacco; the gentleman's gardening scent.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
