    Dear Sebastian and dear Dana, thank you very much for this very informative video. I’m very happy to see you guys collaborating again together.
    I’m Persian and in Persian language, we have a word which is “Dana” and it is pronounced exactly the same way that Dana in the beginning of video, pronaunces her name. “Dana” in Persian means someone who is very knowledgeable. So I believe that her name perfectly suits her.

    On his own, I consider Sebastian the top of UA-cam niche frag reviewers. His berth of knowledge is phenomenal and I believe most of his peers would easily agree. When he features Dana, it’s like a master literal course. In fact, they could probably charge for in-person courses, workshops, etc. Just phenomenal.

    Khus khus is the local name from North India. Widely used as a flavour in dairy products. It also has cooling properties, thus used as a sherbet (summer drink). The grass is dried and used as curtains for coolers by pouring water on it and letting it evaporate. You can also find many artistic curtains made of khus.

    Another female that LOVES vetiver here! It’s one of my top 10 notes! I really enjoy freshies with vetiver and powdery fragrances with vetiver. It adds this comforting hug thing that I love! Also makes the frag a little more unique because as you all mention, you don’t find it in female leaning frags often.

  • @kensears5099
    @kensears5099 Рік тому +30

    I can instinctively get why vetiver would be simultaneously "powerful" yet "so easy to drown." Its power is deep and broad, pervasive like the "bass" section of an orchestra, but all it takes is a few "high notes" like the violins and flutes, or even piccolos, and while the depth is still there providing a "world" for the high notes to cavort in, you're not very conscious of the base anymore, even though its power and depth is in fact creating the world those high notes depend on so as not to come off as vapidly lightweight.

    Dana is wonderful. She takes over but in a very good way. She is so enthusiastic about ingredients and so full of love and energy. I love vetiver too! I totally agree that the essential oil is the most beautiful. I didn’t know it was calming but have probably gravitated to this quality.

    • @anoseknows

    Amazing! This was so interesting to me. I love how vetiver grounds (pun kind of intended lol) some fragrances that have a lot of brightness or airiness. One of my favorite inexpensive fragrances, Zara’s Vetiver Pamplemousse, is a simplistic example of that. Love this type of video; would love the same type with Dana again for other ingredients! Have great weekend!

    Vetiver started in ancient India, and till this day it's used for multiple reasons like drinks, perfumes, soaps, etc it's called Khus in India and it's distillation is done in Kannauj. If you want to know more about Khus try contacting the perfume guru Dr Nikhil Sharan he will explain it, he recently did a video of different facets of Haitian, Indonesian and Indian Vetiver.

  • @otis83
    @otis83 Рік тому +1

    Thank you Sebastian and Dana. Great collaboration. Vetiver is one of my favorite scents. I'm glad you brought up Coeur de Vetiver Sacre. Don't hear much about that one, but love it. I find the range that vetiver can smell is so interesting. Dry, green, dirty, lemony, earthy, herbal, etc. Frederic Malle's Bois D'Orage (French Lover) is one of my favorites, but also like Atelier Cologne's Vetiver Fatal, along with many you mentioned in the video that I own. Thanks, again!

  • @tracyt7605

    I love this vid and every other one with Dana! She's so brilliant. My own vetiver journey started with L'Occitane's Vétyver (mmmm), then followed up later by a box of partially filled sample cards of the original Annick Goutal (amazing!). My go-to "non-expensive" vetivers these days are Commodity Vetiver (discontinued, I believe) and The 7 Virtues Vetiver Elemi. Sebastian, you may like the 7 Virtues as it has a prominent cumin note. Worth trying for its cozy, grounding spa-like qualities--I like to sleep in it, too! More Dana collabs, PLEASE!

    Hello Sebastian,
    it was fantastic listening to all the history, uses and places vetiver comes from. I am so glad you had Dana back as a guest! This was a very interesting video! I have always considered vetiver to be more masculine leaning. I just ordered myself a 'starter vetiver' with Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Neroli Vetiver. I want to try it out in a light fresh form to get my nose more used to wearing it as a female. I may check out the Guerlain Vetiver. Thanks for all the excellent info!
    Have a great day! 💚

    I loved every minute of this video! I could listen to you and Dana talk about fragrance all day, especially when it's vetiver. It's my favorite fragrance note. I stumbled upon it as a standalone scent purely by accident - I purchased a bar of vetiver soap that Pre de Provence used to make (sadly discontinued quite awhile ago). I enjoyed the soap, but I fell in love with the scent because I kept catching whiffs of it all day after washing with the soap. At first I thought it was coming from someone else, but I eventually figured out that it was coming from me, and that I was getting it from the soap. I swear, I have been on the hunt for "the best vetiver fragrance" ever since. This video gave me several to seek out - thank you!

    I know there are fragrance components that in their raw, pure state are perfectly repellent, their beauty or at least their usefulness coming through only in their minimal and diluted utilization, but my guess is that the vetiver plant/oil is perfectly pleasing in nature as much as refined for cosmetic use.

    So fun to learn more about the history and versatility of this aromatic plant! Funny story: before Thanksgiving last year, having no idea of how a vetiver frag would smell & no familiarity with ELdO’s frags - but merely wanting to proceed with a very ‘tongue-in-cheek’ gift idea, I purchased a full 3.4 oz bottle of Fat Electrician - dispensing it into 5ml atomizers & then gifting them to all of the *electricians* I work with😉 …therefore, as you might expect, (but at the time much to my surprise) this scent totally charmed my socks off (me, a woman) -and turned out to be a big hit for the guys❤
