Everything else but no Terre d'hermes / Vibrato Hybrid

Discovered on YouTube, bought for a good price and immediately sold again.
Not because Vetiver Pepper was bad, it certainly isn't.
It just didn't suit my taste.
Still a good fragrance in terms of quality.

I only bought it because it was compared to Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette and Vibrato.
A hybrid of both fragrances? That can only smell awesome, I thought.
I also needed something fresh for the summer.
But in the end it smelled neither like Terre d'Hermes nor like Vibrato.
I've never smelled Vibrato, but if it's supposed to smell like Le Gemme - Tygar, then Azha is definitely no alternative to Vibrato.

What you get here is, as you can easily tell from the name, vetiver and pepper, plus apple, nothing more.
You get the apple and the pepper from the very first moment.
There is still hope that the fragrance will develop fresh and fruity.
But this hope is dashed in the DD at the earliest.
This is where a synthetic vetiver comes into play which, together with the extremely prominent pepper note, pushes the apple more and more into the background.
Although the apple still exudes a fruity freshness somewhere, it is nowhere near as strong as in the opening.

Later on, the fragrance takes on an inexplicably smoky character - who knows where that comes from?
And what's even worse, over time you notice a note that is strongly reminiscent of rubber.
Rubber, something smoky, pepper without end and vetiver and apple in the background.
That's all I can perceive.
At the end, the rubber note relaxes slightly, but it's still something that really bothered me.
Where you can smell Terre d'Hermes or Vibrato here will probably remain a mystery to me forever.

The fragrance is not unisex for me, I find it quite masculine.
Despite all the criticism, the fragrance still has a good quality.
And it can be worn almost all year round.
I wouldn't wear it in midsummer, but otherwise it always works.

The performance is such that the durability is better than the radiance.
It lasts on clothes until the next wash, but the radiance is rather moderate.
Couldn't test it long enough, maybe it performs very strongly on warmer days. I wore it at 13-15 degrees.

My conclusion: Anyone looking for a hybrid to TdH or Vibrato should stay away from this one.
The similarities to these two fragrances are perhaps a maximum of 5%.
If you like vetiver and especially pepper, you should take a closer look at this one.
Not a simple fragrance, but it still has something that makes it interesting.
It definitely smells more expensive than it costs, I can definitely say that.
