By the editors · 2 min readVetiver opens dry and rooty, its smoke curling through myrrh's bitter resin to create a cool, mineral dusk. Patchouli arrives early, folding earth and sweet camphor into the vetiver's stalk, thickening the texture without adding weight. Amber rises from beneath, warming the accord while oakmoss lays a damp forest floor beneath, keeping the composition taut and slightly bitter through the heart. On skin the trio stays linear: vetiver's flinty edge never blunts, myrrh's church-incense dust lingers, and the mossy base reads like wet stones under leaf litter. Projection stays close, a skin-bound chypre shadow perfect for cool rainy days or air-conditioned offices where smoke and earth need discretion.
