Happy Halloween to you, too. I don't get that plastic beachball effect with Vetiver Oriental, but I think I understand where you might be coming from, what with chilled iris root and vetiver root in combination with warmer, sweetened layers. Lalique Encre Noir has a distinct inky-toner scent that I find interesting rather than off-putting, so it's possible that Vetiver root has a tendency to evoke impressions of artificial items, and this could be why vetiver fragrances can be challenging more often than rewarding. The drydown phase to Vetiver Oriental, however, is ridiculously beautiful. Dane! Happy Halloween to you, too.

Strange and captivating, which I guess is everything you could ask for in a scent. Happy Halloween N! I’m still undecided about VO…it’s beautiful one minute, and then all plastic beachball the next.
