Also, I am having scent confusion. I read your review of nightscape, and very spot on. I bought it recently and I love it - it's quiet, but i find it very smoothly earthy. it reminds me or terre d'hermes, but smoother and richer with the animalic base. bottom line: it's wearable and IMO somewhat ethereal and intriguing. second, i've been looking into another vetiver - a nice sharp, dirty one. So, I own Encre Noire, which is a staple for me, but I really like Villoresi's - even though it is quite caustic, when it settles, it is like sweaty grass. I tried the Etro EDT and it's very smokey - like smokey sweet bacon - but obviously attractive. I ordered a sample of the Route du Vetiver, as I haven't smelled that yet. Any others that are in that category you might like? Thanks a lot, Jon Okay, thanks kevin!

There is really no great change overall between the two formulas...except for packaging and persistence. If you shop around, you can find the $165 version at a discount.

Very smokey, slightly nutty and not overbearing at all. Can you elaborate more on how the lasting power and actual scent differ? I ask because the EDC sells a lot online for a good price and the EDT like you said is 165. Thanks. kevin,

It was enough. Of course, now that I *know* I can find that kind of money...maybe I'll start using up my samples and sock the money in a vacation account.
