    Default L'Occitane Vetyver EDT

    Gentlemen-
    I was bopping aroung the internet just now putting together my Christmas list for my wife - went to the L'Occitane site and could not find their Vetyver EDT. From what I understand, it was somewhat popular, with a few of the SRP members speaking highly of it. Does anyone know if it has been discontinued?

    Thanks for any and all replies

    From what I understand it's discontinued. I was lucky to get an almost full bottle a while ago. It's a nice scent, but Guerlein Vertiver is better IMHO.

    Wasn't that Sinatra's favorite?

    I've used both very nice indeed, but the Guerlain vetiver is the classic vetiver scent beautiful EDT and long lasting, one of my only negatives regarding L'Occitane scents and I've owned quite a few and still do they don't last long enough on my skin, in my opinion the best scent they have would be Baux EDT a warm rich intoxicating EDT.

    I had to look for myself to see if it was true and it appears so, even at L'Occitane Canada. Well that sucks, even my wife is disappointed. Looks like I'll have to use mine more sparingly now.....

    Must be some still in the pipeline, bought a bottle of L'Occitane Vetyer a couple of months ago in the Winnipeg store. I guess it is now scrounge around or just go with the Guerlain stuff.

    Sorry to hear that L'Occitane has discontinued their Eau du Vetyver; it wasn't my favorite from their men's fragrance line, but it -- along with Eau du Badian and Eau du L'Occitan -- made up the Autumn portion of my "collection"... OTOH, I've always associated Guerlain's Vetiver with Spring and Summer. I can't imagine why L'Occitane would do that; nevertheless, "discontinued" fragrances are legendary... as well as those which are "reformulated".

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    Discontinued NOOOOOOO!! I love this scent, I'm down to half a bottle, going to Nashville tomorrow to the L'Occitane and hope they have a bottle or two laying around.

    I was never a fan of this one. I feel your pain though. Too many of my favorite scents have been discontinued! I have a fair collection of Vetivers which I can speak for if you want to go on a sample binge and find a replacement. Personally I think many of these are superior to the l'Occitane scent:

    Givenchy Les Parfums Mythiques Vetyver (the best non-exclusive designer vetiver available and the best of the Les Parfums Mythiques range, imho)

    Comme des Garcons Vettiveru (nice cologne, Roger & Gallet's Vetiver cologne is also pleasant enough)

    Tom Ford Grey Vetiver (not a fan myself, but it is well liked)

    Chopard Noble Vetiver (the bottle this comes in is absolute porn)

    Lalique Encre Noire (one of the best vetivers for the price, great bottle too)

    Guerlain Vetiver (many people think it has an ashtray note, but it's still legendary; go for the ribbed bottles, slightly older stock)

    Guerlain Vetiver Pour Elle (so much better than the original Guerlain Vetiver, but also a great deal pricier and probably discontinued, but oh well)

    Chanel Sycomore (this is the king, but the price is also kingly)

    Etat Libre d'Orange Fat Electrician (never mind the name this stuff is great)

    Thierry Mugler Mugler Cologne (often said to be a ripp off of Creed's Vetiver, but still a good scent)

    Creed Original Vetiver (not a fan, but I'll list it for the praise it gets)

    Dior Vetiver (the first Dior exclusive to be discontinued, as a result you can pick it up for about $100 if you search around. I find it boring but you might not, it has a coffee note)

    Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire (I'm noting it for the praise it gets, but at this level of simplicity and price you might as well buy real Vetiver oil)

    LesNez Turtle Vetiver Front (another that gets much praise, lovely bottle too)

    Annick Goutal Vetiver (fleeting but lovely)

    Comptoir sud Pacifique L'eau du Gouverneur (Brilliant, but maybe discontinued; still widely available though)

    Dior's Eau Savage is often considered vetiver-dominant as well (Dunhill Edition is simmilar, and far superior though discontinued) as is Terre d'Hermes but to me it just smells like Iso e Super and warm rocks

    Edit - on the subject of despicable discontinuations Chanel, in an act of pure villainy, has discontinued all the shave products that go with Egoiste. No more Egoiste after shave or shave balm! Still I have a source >.> time to stock up...
