Vetiver

For the perfume fan that loves the earthy smell of the woods, nothing beats vetiver. Vetiver is grass whose roots create a smoky, mossy, mineral scent when distilled. It is one of the most complex ingredients found in fragrance, with over 150 separate aromatic compounds, and it also acts as one of the best fixatives available to perfumers, which accounts for its frequent presence in fragrance.

There’s also nothing quite like the scent of vetiver. It’s both immediate and ancient, with a similar smell to the soft earth of virgin forests.

Rain Water Accord
Black Pepper
Geranium
Like a journey through the overgrown landscape of the Amazon Rainforest, this scent is lush, humid, and invigorating all at once. Similar to the sun peeking through the rainforest canopy, dew-kissed mandarin opens the scent on a bright, sparkling note, while black pepper adds a warm, woody element. Geranium gives the blend a spicy floral twist, as rain water accord mirrors the damp environment. Vetiver grounds the composition, wrapping the medley in a grassy, earthy embrace.

FROM THE PERFUMER: "I've wanted to make something that smelled like a rainbow for a long time (especially inspired by Terry Riley's A Rainbow In Curved Air). The concept is to use materials of every color in the rainbow in a certain proportion that is softened in the humid air of their abode. Now you can wear rainbows. Wait til you sniff how delicate they are." - D.S.

Musk
An invigorating woody spicy citrus. With natural nuances of citrus, flint, wood, smoke, and earth, vetiver is a compelling fragrance all by itself. A primal, rooting scent that is also a classic of masculine perfumery (of course, it can be enjoyed by all genders). Here, Aurélien Guichard draws out the most sparkling facets of Haitian vetiver essence with a sunny cocktail of Italian fruit: bracingly bitter grapefruit and juicy mandarin, a delicate essence chosen.
