Vetiver 46 is widely praised as a superior fragrance with excellent scent quality and depth, but the community is divided on its longevity and value. Le Labo's hand-blending process creates batch inconsistencies that frustrate consumers, with many recommending alternatives like 2 Man by Comme des Garçons or Encre Noire by Lalique as more affordable options, though none fully replicate the original's sophistication.
