About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Vetiver Extraordinaire opens with a bright, spicy citrus burst: bitter orange and bergamot sharpened by black pepper, caraway, and cardamom. This lively top quickly gives way to a heart where vetiver is the undisputed star, supported by pink pepper, cloves, licorice, and a smoky incense note that adds depth and intrigue.

The base is a rich, earthy blend of cedar, oakmoss, sandalwood, myrrh, musk, and ambrette, creating a warm, woody foundation that lingers for hours. This is a vetiver for collectors who appreciate complexity and evolution. It suits those who want a sophisticated, masculine scent that works in both professional and evening settings. Ideal for cooler weather, it pairs well with tailored clothing and confident personalities.
