Excellent review. Just to note: *Guerlain* is and always been a *niche* perfumer. Designers, by definition, make a living out of fashion more than perfumery. Guerlain only does perfume. No sneakers, no fashion shows. But with designer prices. For almost 200 years now. Tom Ford is a rare opposite: It was born from a designer opportunity (Gucci & Yves Saint Laurent), but their quality demands premium niche prices.
Guerlain makes a plenty of cosmetics besides perfumery, so your assumption isn't quite correct. I think the labeling of Guerlain as either "niche" or "designer" is always up to debate.
@@piznoctsauo8141 but they started with just fragrance. Creed also dose body washes and leather grooming kits but it's niche. Basically if their main focus and main source of income is making fragrances then they're niche.
Hi Joy. Another great video! Thank you. I like them both, but actually got rid of my Tom Ford edp and repurchased the Guerlain. I find the Guerlain vetiver more masculine and classic. Both great fragrances though. Cheers.
Very fair comparison. Tom Ford Vetiver is awesome but for some reason I stuck with Guerlain Vetiver. That fragrance is unbelievably good and, yes, projects way more than Tom Ford's but not in any way overbearingly. I'll see in the future but for now, Im still Guerlain's version all the way. Someone here specified that Guerlain Vetiver smells much better on skin than clothes or paper. He's absolutely right. The second hour of Guerlain Vetiver is absolutely fantastic.
Agree, but it sure is close! Grey Vetiver EDP is an A+ in my collection, with Guerlain Vetiver a solid A. The main difference is the modern upscale take on vetiver offered by Grey Vetiver. Cleans it up and puts it in a tux. But this is a STRONG endorsement of Guerlain considering it took decades and a 4x price increase to barely edge past it! Can’t lose with either one, and frankly, both belong in every vetiver lover’s collection. :)
I like both Guerlain Vetiver and Grey Vetiver, but Guerlain is the better one to me in terms of smell and definitely value. The classic old school vibe gives it the extra class compared to the Tom Ford. They are similar though.
Guerlain Vetiver is not at all citrusy nor sweet! It is rather very spicy and a lot more mature than TF! TF is super safe! Joy what happened this time? U R usually spot on 😂
guerlain vetiver does have citrus andsweet notes. its a freshly peeled citrus. when you smell it on your skin give 5 to 7 sniffs in a row and you will definitely notice citrus and sweet notes. in the opening of course.
Always enjoy your thoughts, Joy. I love Guerlain Vetiver! For the value, it’s excellent!Have you caught Max Forti’s 5 part series on Great Vetiver’s? It’s so good! I love Vetiver! 😎🤙🏽
I sampled Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDT and, to me, it smells like a hospital. It's so damn one dimensional and sterile/cleaner like to my nose. I also sampled Guerlain Vetiver (current formulation) and for me, it blows Grey Vetiver out of the water! MUCH deeper, performs better and it smells WAY better to my nose! To the point where I actually don't like Grey Vetiver. Btw, I have a 150ml bottle of Guerlain Vetiver on its way to me RIGHT NOW and I cannot be more excited! One last thing, SOTN is Hanae Mori Him EDP. SO glad I bought a bottle before it got discontinued and the price went stoopid!!😂😂
@@zsb707 "timeless". How can old scents smell dated, when old scents smelled better? NO one's fault you spent your money on Tom Ford and are trying to justify it
@@FSVR54 Yes, I did spend my money on it and don't have to justify it, as I fully enjoy it. On the other hand, fragrances are very subjective. For example, I consider Bois du Portugal a super dated scent, whereas some may view it as a timeless masterpiece. Stay safe!
I loooooove Grey Vetiver and have some on the way. I need to try Guerlain as well. If you haven't tried Alexandria Jack (rip of Creed Original Vetiver), you should. It's very good - super clean vetiver and a little soapy as well.
Hi sir first of all i admire u alot and big fan . i have question that i was very much in serch for same versace pour homme smel (i smell in 1998/99 in very rich family party )and watch alot videos and ask many people but i didnt found the name then i bought this i thought i got that but when i realize about release in 2008 i want to know which was that fragrance back in 90 s?
So sad that I'm unable to appreciate the scent of vetiver. If it's hidden in a more complex preparation, it doesn't bother me quite so much. If it's the dominant note, my nose is absolutely repulsed by it, in the most extreme way. First tried it with Chanel Sycamore, I was horrified. Almost lost my breath. Tried Guerlain and also Encre Noire, same reaction. The best description I can come up with is a very sharp bitter vomit smell. I'm curious if anyone else has this perception of vetiver?
the vetiver root can have an old wooden chest smell with the metal latches and all. sometimes abit balsamic and sour it can smell similar to vomit i guess. i would suggest looking into vetiver attars. you might find a vetiver you like.
“ Bottle presentation wise…” “Longevity wise…” “Projection wise…” You have got to be kidding. That’s horrible grammar for someone who wants to review products via video.

Guerlain does skin care too. But yes, Guerlain is niche.

Used both for years. Has to be Guerlain.

I needed to see this. Going with Guerlain. Thanks for helping me decide, Joy!
something to remember about guerlain vetiver is it smells different on clothing. its best applied to the skin. its not so great applied to fabrics.
Grey Vetiver is my all time favorite fragrance 👍🏼
Agreed Guerlain Vetiver is all occasions all temperature and classy and sophisticated IMHO.
I had the Guerlain Vetiver years ago, and loved it. It's probably been reformulated a few times now though.
I am in love with Tom Ford Grey vetiver Edp,will get Guerlain Vetiver .
Guerlain is a luxury house not Designer they only do perfumes
I went into a Tom Ford store once , they told me I was in the wrong store and to go back to Walmart.
Really ??? If it really happened they are just a bunch of idiots !
heric _ yes it happen in Las Vegas.
vsboy 25 what a bunch of idiots
Wow smh
Was you complaining about the pricing ? There must be a reason they said that
Agreed with Guerlain Vetiver EDT Because Feels Good For Connecting Temperature&Ultra Unique Classic.

I'll try it. Either way it is more spicy than anything.
Guerlain Vetiver is definitely more mature smelling than Grey Vetiver. So much so that it smells dated.
Always enjoy your thoughts, Joy. I love Guerlain Vetiver! For the value, it’s excellent!Have you caught Max Forti’s 5 part series on Great Vetiver’s? It’s so good! I love Vetiver! 😎🤙🏽
Amin Please suggest between*TF Fresh Vetiver vs Guerlain Vetiver Extreme?*
Please suggest the best *cheap fragrance..that is similar to Guerlain Vetiver*
This is very expensive in India... around $120
Joy what you think about Grey Vetiver vs Terre Intense Vetiver? Are they similar? Which do you prefer?
Great 📹 and i enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed 🌙
Guerlian vetiver for the win.
Great comparison video joy bhai... love your videos.
Concur review spot on!
Great review
Epic comparison.
Tom Ford edt is out of production, the edp is still in production.

Grey Vetiver EDT smells so smooth and modern, whereas Guerlain Vetiver smells dated.
@@zsb707 "timeless". How can old scents smell dated, when old scents smelled better?

@@tatalzmeilor3242 yes
