Mark White Vetiver

By the editors · 2 min readPlum and pink pepper open with a tart, juicy snap that quickly sweetens as white florals bloom. Tuberose dominates the heart, its creamy, rubber-petals accord swelling to fill the space left by the fading fruit, while jasmine adds a greener, sharper floral edge that keeps the bouquet from turning syrupy. Vetiver rises early, its dry grass-root bitterness threading through the florals and pulling them earthward; patchouli doubles down on that earthy tilt, adding cool, chocolate-brown depth that muffles the tuberose’s lactonic radiance. In the dry-down the composition settles into a muted woody-floral skin scent: vetiver’s humus-like root still carries a ghost of plum sweetness, now darkened and slightly smoky. Projection stays polite—arm’s-length for three hours—then hugs skin through a workday. Cool spring or early-fall office wear; quiet enough for meetings yet still recognizably floral.
