{"product_id":"roger-and-gallet-vetyver-wellbeing-fragrant-water-100ml","title":"Vétyver Wellbeing Fragrant Water 100ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eVetiver is a material most houses reserve for serious masculine fragrance, so finding it at the centre of Roger \u0026amp; Gallet Vétyver Wellbeing Fragrant Water 100ml, in a light and casual format, is the interesting part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree materials, and the middle one is the point. Bergamot opens it, bitter and bright, doing the lifting for the first few minutes in the way citrus always does in a cologne style composition. Vetiver follows and dominates everything after it: earthy and rooty with a dry, smoky edge and a faintly bitter green quality, the smell of soil and cut grass rather than anything sweet. Sage sits last, dry and herbal with a cool, slightly camphorous character that sharpens the vetiver instead of softening it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing about this is rich, and nothing about it develops. It is dry from start to finish, which is unusual in a product sold as a fragrant water, where the expectation is usually something gentler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a light concentration it stays close and fades within a few hours, so it is meant to be used freely and reapplied. The 100ml bottle is sized for that habit rather than for careful rationing. It reads as unisex despite the traditional associations of the material, it suits warm weather and daytime, and it is a good answer for anyone who wants to smell clean and dry rather than perfumed. Vetiver at this strength is approachable in a way it rarely is at full perfume concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoger \u0026amp; Gallet has worked in perfumery and soap in Paris since 1862, the year brothers in law founded it around a cologne house dating from 1806. Body and bath products were added from the 1950s and remain a large part of what it makes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger \u0026 Gallet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53313215529287,"sku":"ENG197069","price":49.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/SkpuTkgxSTJMQkU3eng4dWp0UEVXeGcwbFdMTHNmK1NJM0NvSmdPekZxWldsRTY1VkpqWUVHM3ZrK2M5QXRReQ2.jpg?v=1770813123","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/roger-and-gallet-vetyver-wellbeing-fragrant-water-100ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
