Vétiver by Guerlain needs no introduction. The pinnacle of masculine elegance and a true classic since its introduction in 1961 by Guerlain family perfumer Jean Paul Guerlain, when he was himself a young man and was inspired by the gardener’s earthy, grassy smell after tending the gardens, it is a fragrance that will separate you as a man among boys. Fit for any occasion and any season, but especially refreshing in the warmer weather, Guerlain’s Vétiver starts with a crisp, citrusy accord that sustains itself for about 15 minutes, like ice crushed between jaws feels tingling the back of one's neck in the heat of August; it also recalls a hesperidic cologne with soft musks, fresh out from the fridge, sprayed on hot skin, creating goose bumps. The dominant essence, Haitian vetiver, is very complimentary to the lemony notes, rendering them ever so slightly soapy. The cascade of spicy, slightly bitter notes that bursts forth within minutes is delightfully refreshing and addictive. Vétiver is a comparatively light scent to be splashed all over, especially compared to mustier, earthier renditions of this exotic material, but it’s so artfully composed that it lasts very well. A truly beautiful creation.
