Yes, if you appreciate a fresh, spicy vetiver scent that stands out.
Portrait of New York - Vetiver is often described as a fresh and earthy fragrance with a prominent vetiver note. Users appreciate the balance of cardamom and black pepper, which adds warmth and spice without overwhelming the vetiver's green, woody character. While many enthusiasts enjoy its unique take on vetiver, some casual wearers find it too niche or challenging for everyday use. It is generally recommended for spring and summer occasions, especially for those who prefer a more sophisticated scent. Some users mention that the fragrance has moderate longevity and projection, which can be a downside for those seeking a more powerful scent.
