Vétiver

Vétiver brightens the dry, earthy character of vetiver with mandarin and geranium. Citrus lift and a lightly bitter floral-green edge give definition to the root’s deeper texture. The house describes vetiver as a material whose woody and smoky facets vary with where it grows. Here, that character extends a fougère impression into a dry, slightly smoky woody base. Olibanum pairs the fragrance with the image of an elegantly oversized flannel jacket. It is an apt setting for a composition that keeps its fresh outline while retaining the quieter weight of wood and earth.
