In 1950, the Guerlain family decided to create a fragrance based on the fascinating roots of vetiver, a plant native to India. After several trials, the perfumer managed to achieve a delicate balance, reminiscent of the earth's exhalations under the pale light of a star. All of this is intertwined with woody notes, the refined elegance of spices, and tobacco, creating a rare and sophisticated scent.
Thanks to its modern geometry and clean lines, the Vetiver bottle embodies the fashionable silhouette of true French elegance.
This fragrance can transform a young man into a true gentleman of means, while inspiring a mature man to new achievements, passions, and triumphs. Trust us, this scent will complement your persona and create an essential aura around its wearer!

I really liked the perfume. The Guerlain DNA is quite noticeable: a powdery-sandalwood base with a vibrant citrus start. The longevity and sillage are quite impressive. Surprisingly, there is not much vetiver in a fragrance with such a name, but there is a lot of black pepper with a sharp, non-sweet tobacco note. Overall, it's magnificent and versatile.
Fresh summer. Super.
I am crazy about this fragrance. It has a vintage and rich tone. It's old-school. It starts with a strong herbaceousness, then transitions into intense cloves, which eventually blend into tobacco leaves. The leather-suede accord comes right before the base notes. It's self-willed and intolerant, a beauty! It represents an era!
This is a classic. And whoever says that it reminds them of cheap cologne simply doesn't understand elite perfumery (by the way, it used to be niche). The scent of Guerlain's vetiver is one of the pillars of high perfumery.
The fragrance is serious and captivating, not for noses accustomed to popular "fresh" scents. It is more suitable for hot summer days.
