By the editors · 2 min readVetyver And Whiskey opens with rum — not the sweet cocktail version but something drier, more alcoholic, with woody edge. This sets a boozy, slightly dark tone that frames the whole composition.
Vetiver anchors the base with its characteristic smoky, earthy-woody dryness — one of the most identifiable raw materials in perfumery, here likely playing a starring role given the name. Myrrh adds a resinous, incense-like depth while vanilla introduces a soft sweetness that rounds the otherwise dry, smoky structure.
The result is a dark, smoky aromatic: rum and vetiver share the spotlight, with myrrh adding balsamic complexity and vanilla preventing the composition from going entirely austere. Masculine in posture, deliberate in character — likely best in cool-weather evening contexts.
