Vetyver

1 perfumes

Vetyver is a complex, multi-faceted root that defines the woody olfactive family. It opens with a sharp, crisp greenness reminiscent of damp earth and crushed stalks, before settling into a deep, smoky, and slightly nutty base. This dry, sophisticated profile makes it an essential anchor in modern compositions. It pairs naturally with citrus notes like bergamot to create a refreshing yet grounded opening, or with spices to enhance its inherent warmth. In the Gulf, vetyver is highly prized for its exceptional resilience against the intense heat and humidity of our climate. It serves as a cooling, elegant counterpoint to the richness of traditional oils, often used in evening wear to provide a clean, masculine edge that remains steady and composed throughout long outdoor gatherings.
