I would suggest one of the Panaceas but also Has No Hanna or High John the Conqueror might be very useful in this situation. Good Luck

Unlike some, I actually enjoy the scent of vetiver and I loved the description of the scent on the site and as I've said elsewhere I'm methodically trying oils with rose and other fragrances I think I may enjoy. In the imp and when first applied I get an enormous shot of vetiver, leavened only lightly with something floral and what I assume may be the cactus flowers. It has a dusty scent to it like the desert, similar in mood if not odor to a purifying sage smoke. The fragrance is quite bracing and immediately sends a "Wake Up!" kind of message to the brain. I've had it on for a few moments now and I'm starting to get a tiny, tiny whiff that I am defining as rose which sweetens and moistens the vetiver and cactus flowers. This scent seems complicated and very well blended. After a little time the vetiver begins to calm and play nice with the other fragrances, allowing a rich mingling to occur. There *is* something that my nose is communicating as CLEAN in this one which may be soapy to others. I quite like it as a novelty, something a wee bit different, but I think I won't be buying a bottle on this one.

As a relative newbie to BPAL and the forum, despite an inheritance from a friends collection - I have been methodically trying to try all of the oils that include roses and have other notes that I think I may enjoy. I made only my second or third order this past month and ordered an imp pack plus to try as well as my two wee bottles of goodness. When I first smelled this in the imp and then wet on my skin mostly I got a kind of homey generic bakery sort of scent, a bit dry with the roses and blackcurrants definitely taking a back seat. As this dries though the roses and currants blend together with the crumb of the tart to give something sweeter and richer than the description might imply. For me this is a close to the skin sort of fragrance but I keep smelling it and liking it more and more as it matures. This definitely goes on my list as one to purchase.
