Dark Espresso Vetiver™
[compare to Jo Malone® Black Vetyver Café® -brand]
This is a fragrance that celebrates the sensuality and warmth of basenotes like no other. Generally simple and spotlighting the interplay between Coffee and Vetiver, it still has uplifting hints of a light citrus accord and a sensual spicy heart. Like a pair of mirrors echoing their own reflection, the astringency of vetiver, incense and bitter coffee enhance and strengthen each other as they reverbate over sweet woods.
Top notes of Black Roasted Coffee open and are accented by Lemony Cistus woods. As the scent unfolds, a spicey heart of Mace, Green Pepper and Coriander enhances the sharp astringency of the initial topnotes. The dominant incense base notes kick in with a counterpoint of Smoky Incense, Haitian Vetiver, Sandalwood, Juniper, Bubinga Wood, Green Lichen and just a hint of Bouron Vanilla.
Our interpretation of this sensual Jo Malone fragrance has been a long time coming. We had sampled a number of versions that we found were too weak to withstand the saponification process, or were overly heavy on the coffee scent, and have finally tweaked our formula as we like it. We are delighted by this version, as it is well behaved and lasting in all of our applications. We have had testers comment about how our version of the scent is even better than the original perfume it is based upon.
And it's phthalate-free, too!
