LOL…my son never liked any perfume that didn’t smell like chocolate chip cookies. So yes, ignore them

I am heavily in lust with Vetiva Tonka. I live near a Hermes shop and the lovely sales lady gave me an ENORMOUS sample. Yippee. I shall be wearing it this summer and hopefully will buy the set of four small bottles when I run dry, bank balance permitting. Can it be I have found my summer HG perfume so soon?! I have only been looking for two months! Sadly my husband and two of my three offspring exclaimed “YUK what is that smell” when I appeared at breakfast. I don’t care though I am like a VT junky and keep sniffing my arms. BTW my third child is only two so maybe he doesn’t like the scent either but we will give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Hi Fraxos, I find them very different…VT is mostly vetiver w/ some burnt sugar (although admittedly it’s fruity too), Philosykos is a woody fig. But admit I’ve never put them on together, so maybe they have more in common than I think!

Dear Robin,
Could you help me to specify the difference between Vetiver tonka and Philosykos by Diptyque? I tested Philosykos only once but it seems that these fragrances are rather like.
I know that you have both bottles in your collection:)
Thank you in advance! And thanks for your blog!

Bought a small Vetiver Tonka on eBay out of curiosity. Love it, love it, love it on me. Now if I can only persuade my lover to wear it for me next time we’re together…It is truly seductive, warm, nourishing, velvety. As Martha would say in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, it gets right to the meat of things.

Ah, but with the Hermessences at least you can find people to split the discovery sets, and so you only have to buy 15 ml.

Hey I went into Hermès with my BF. she is pretty self-confident, not me – we have pretty different budgets
But I wore a hoodie, sneakers and they did not even mind. Okay, the saleswomen did not want to have a chatter with me, okay, but I grabbed two samples.
Vetiver Tonka and Poivre I had on paper, I asked for Vetiver Tonka then. I think it’s a beautifull scent, I like the warmth and the spaice and aslo the lasting power. It’s a great scent and very uncommon.
The point: the price… as usual.
