Vetiver

Acqua di Colonia
Musk
The opening arrives with a bright, green crack of galbanum and bergamot, immediately grounded by warm cardamom that announces this will not be a clean musk.
Patchouli
Piper Nigrum
Piper Nigrum opens in a medicinal, aromatic rush — mint, peppermint, fennel, and star anise combining into a challenging herbal-anise accord that reads almost apothecary in its directness.
Atman Xaman
Aura Maris
Teint de Neige
Teint de Neige opens with a powdery floral cloud that feels almost edible—jasmine and rose wrapped in something soft and slightly almond-sweet, like the scent of vintage face powder or the dusty interior of an old cosmetics compact.
Yerbamate
Villoresi's Yerbamate opens with a cool rush of mint and tarragon, tempered by ylang-ylang's faint floral sweetness.
Alamut
Alamut opens with a white floral haze that feels simultaneously bright and shadowed—jasmine and osmanthus lend honeyed sweetness, while something darker already pulses beneath.
Iperborea
Spezie
Dilmun
Forever Now (Gucci Museo)
Wild Lavender
Sandalo
Vintage Collection Garofano
Garofano opens with a brief lavender prelude before the real star arrives: carnation rendered not as a single-note portrait but as a baroque arrangement.
Theseus
Theseus opens with a dusty, herbal clarity—clary sage and bergamot tempered by nutmeg's warm rasp.
