Hermèssence Vétiver Tonka

July 28th, 2008 Posted in Fragrances

A thoughtful Flickr friend recently sent me two vials of Hermèssence fragrance samples: Vetiver Tonka and Ambre Narguile. Both scents are alluring but I find myself dabbing my pulse points with the Vetiver Tonka juice more often than not.

Hermès Vetiver Tonka has notes of vetiver, neroli, bergamot, grilled hazelnut, dried fruit, cereals and tonka bean. It’s an interesting mix of sweet and dry notes that I often catch myself sniffing my wrists. As Perfume-Smellin’ Things, noted: “The union of green earthiness, caramelized nuttiness and sweet smokiness is incredibly attractive”.

I’m normally drawn to floral jasmine based scents so liking a green based vetiver scent was a surprise to me. Perhaps it was the sweet notes that drew me in. I recently purchased Prada’s Infusion d’Iris which, interestingly enough, contains vetiver. Vetiver Tonka still haunts me so I’ll most likely be making a full bottle purchase later this year.
