By the editors · 2 min readEau de Vetyver opens with a bright citrus clarity—lemon and bergamot that feel scrubbed clean rather than sweet—before settling into its true nature within minutes. The vetiver here is neither rooty nor grassy in the sharp sense, but smoothed by guaiac wood and given a peppered warmth through nutmeg. It's restrained, almost austere.
As it dries down, a subtle leather accord emerges alongside cedar, lending the composition a faintly masculine formality without tipping into aftershave territory. The whole effect is transparent and well-proportioned, more about understatement than projection. It suggests someone who doesn't announce themselves but makes an impression nonetheless—pressed linen, good manners, a certain quiet confidence that doesn't need embellishment.
