Vétyver

Green wood

The fragrance of those masculine things, which invite you to follow the manly path.

Main notes
Black pepper - mastic - violet leaf - vetiver

The olfactory signature
LMR turmeric, the leaves and roots of which have been upcycled to create the fragrance’s green, woody side.

Description
An almost tangy surge of pepper immediately provides reinvigorating freshness, and a immediate feel of masculinity. The vetiver reveals itself, powerful and raw, in a criss-cross of roots and vegetation made up of mastic, turmeric and violet leaf.

Context
Launched in 1968, Vetyver was presented as “male flowers, muscular and musky (...), a fresh, dry and racy fragrance”. This woody score was revisited in 2021 in the interest of sustainable development by Nicolas Beaulieu, who recomposed it while picturing an ethical kind of masculinity, returning to the soil.

A word from our perfumer
“Vetyver oscillates between put-together and raw. Of course; this work puts vetiver on a pedestal, but its roots are reinforced by a basis of turmeric and mastic. I have added a green violet leaf accord and a black pepper hook, which is very present when you spray it.”
