Bois de Vetiver
Fragrance notes
Character
Bois de Vetiver opens with coriander, lemon, and bergamot. The citrus is bright and immediate, while the coriander adds a green, slightly peppery edge that keeps the start from feeling simple. This moves into a heart where vetiver leads alongside orris, myrrh, cinnamon, cloves, and lavender. The vetiver is earthy and dry, the orris brings a soft powder, and the cinnamon and cloves add warm spice that sits close to the skin rather than overwhelming the other notes. Lavender rounds the heart with a clean, aromatic touch that bridges the citrus and the woods.
The base gathers oakmoss, frankincense, musk, sandalwood, and leather. Oakmoss and frankincense give a resinous, mossy depth, sandalwood smooths the texture, and leather adds a firm, dry finish. Musk lingers underneath to hold the composition together. The overall character is woody, earthy, aromatic, and warmly spicy, with clear amber, mossy, powdery, iris, fresh spicy, and cinnamon accents throughout.
This is a scent for daylight hours, suited to a morning walk through a city or a bright office space where its clarity feels natural. It suits someone who likes dry, spicy woods and wants a fragrance that stays composed and grounded. It is less appropriate for anyone who prefers sweet, fruity, or very fresh aquatic styles. The leather and oakmoss remain.
