Spring Vetiver that I Haven't Already Tried.

There's a lot of great suggestions already so I won't comment on any of the above but you do seem to be missing LesNez's Turtle Vetivers. Exercises 2 and 3 (Front and Back respectively) are both fresh yet the vetiver is still very prominent. I find the lastest version (#3 or Back) to have a somewhat sweet/fruity note similar to the blackcurrant of MPG's RdV but with more pronounced vetiver notes.

Also, Sigilli's Athunis is a tone down version of Fumidus...

Thanks gents, looks like I have my work cut out for me.

I should edit my original post because as you guys have made recommendations, I have realized there are more I have tried than I originally listed!

Yeah, I thought you were sandbagging on us, Tim!

By the way, I tried Lorenzo Villoresi Sandalo a second time today. Anyone besides me think this is a vetiver scent? I think it's one you should try, Tim.

Anyone ever try Etro Vetiver? I have no idea what it's like.

Etro? It's the best.

I just received this, I believe based on your suggestion. Although the bottle and box makes it look like it comes from a $$$ Store, it is a very nice vetiver. I'm still not sure about longevity though. Today was day one with it.

Avoid Serge Lutens' Vetiver Oriental. No Vetiver in it.

Avoid the Lutens like L'Occitane's Vetiver? I struggle to find the vetiver in it...

I have tried AG Vetiver and the Heeley. The Heeley did nothing for me, but alas, nothing in that line strikes me as better than average. Even the fabled Cuir Pleine Fleur was marginal at best and I'm a leather lover.

Sycomore is one of my all time favorite frags.
