So glad to see your review on this one Kristo. I've always been a fan of the classic and recently stumbled upon this one which is rather obscure in the US nowadays. A great take on the classic which has renewed my love for the line. I appreciate your input as always.
@MikeNY911 I thought it really deserved a spot on my channel. A lot of Guerlains don't get much attention in North America in general. All the fuss about the niche Guerlains and LIDGE have pushed the others even further out of the spot light. Vetiver Extreme is a great take on vetiver that isn't overdone. I think its a great flanker, myself. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Great review thanks! Funny that projection and longevity lacks as I get good projection and even greater longevity with the original one, so I guess I'll see how the extreme fares on my skin. Again, thanks. I love Guerlain!
@inf0isFree No problem, that's what I'm here for, my friend! I'm glad you liked the review. I personally love Guerlain, too. I haven't actually tried the original Vetiver on my skin as far as I can tell, but it very well may out perform this. Its a good scent, but a shame it doesn't last longer.
@jdm9499 I really love that stuff, but I don't see it coming up any time soon to be honest. I will see what I can do though, I like to keep my subs happy!
I heart kitties. Is this fresh like Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver? I absolutely adore that fragrance. Or is this still closer to dark vetiver fragrances like Encre Noir?
@martinaee On a spectrum from TF's GV on one end and L's EN on the other, I would put this closer to EN, but it is still miles away from that. This one has a spicier, smokier feel from the nutmeg, pepper and incense over the watery, smooth GV, but is NOT nearly as dark as EN
I'm a cat person myself, too. Kitty pops up unexpectedly in my videos from time to time!
Not of fan of the original but I'm def gonna give this a whirl sometime....I love my vetiver frags! :-) great vetivers for me - vetiver tonka - sycomore - sel de vetiver - vetiver by givenchy - route du vetiver - vetiver extraordinaire - vetyverio by diptyque
@MyMickers This one is worth checking out even if you didn't like the original. We all know how you love your vetivers. I'll have to keep an eye out for some of those. Thanks, man!
I had smelled the original one and i didnt appreciate it to be honest because im not a fan of a vetiver scent in an old school way. I will try that if i can find it. gGreat review as always Kristo. Oh, one more thing to say, there is a SPORT version of guerlain vetiver,,mmmmm.. WHY GUERLAIN :(
@lateef555 Wow, I never realised they did a sport version. Just had a look at it and its just a scaled down version of the original with citrus in the top...yawn... Guerlain is a funny house like that! Thanks for watching and the great feedback and input, you know I always appreciate it.
I tried it, and to me it was very "old-manish", did not really like it. It was to... I don't really know, just not for me. Everybody has got different taste. ;-)

@Atmosphereification Exactly, my friend. That's the thing we all have to remember: everyone has different tastes and everyone interprets things differently. This is actually one of the few frags with 'vetivet' in the name that I do actually like. Prada's Infusion d'Vetiver is really nice though. I do like that a lot.
Very nice review ... I find it weird that a fragrance called vetiver "extreme" actually doesn't contain any very offensive vetiver in it with all it's stickiness.
Apart from that it's the same about the longevity as you mentioned.
@gentsrevs I'm actually glad it doesn't contain an 'extreme' vetiver feeling cause I'm honestly not too big on straight up vetiver frags. Longevity and Projection are definitely not 'extreme' at all though.
wow i thought the long/pro would of been better, yeah for an extreme version it should be much better. i can only find the 100ml on websites over here.
@razscott I was expecting it to be better also, but what can you do? I enjoy it though. I've seen the 100ml bottles, are they the tall thin ones? I saw them and I'm not sure what the difference is. They are definitely Guerlain Vetiver Extreme, but with a different bottle. They must be the original release or a regional release. Thanks a lot, buddy!
@BetawiBlood What can you do? Slather on something like lard or butter/olive oil to the area where you want to spray the frag and then apply it, making it last much longer and radiate like a mean machine.
No bud its the same shape bottle over here, only 100ml bottles available though, we have 125's of the original vetiver one though.

You described this as dirty & clean/ earthy & fresh/ spicy & cool. Maybe thats why Guerlain added the Extreme tag.
