By the editors · 2 min readVetiver opens dry and grassy, its rooty bitterness sharpened by bergamot's metallic citrus edge. The heart adds cedar's clean pencil-shaving wood, amplifying the vetiver's smoke while raspberry contributes a tart, slightly green fruit that keeps the composition from turning too austere. As the amber warms, it softens the woods with a resinous glow, letting patchouli's earthy chocolate nuance emerge beneath the persistent vetiver. The dry-down stays firmly vetiver-centric, now wrapped in a muted amber-patchouli cushion that extends wear without adding sweetness. Projection sits at arm's length for six hours, making it office-friendly yet present. Cool autumn days highlight its woodsmoke facet best.
