From the lush plantations of Indonesia to the volcanic landscapes of Reunion Island, Vetiver Bourbon captures the very essence of moist earth, deep roots, and the mystery of the rainforest. This woody and aromatic fragrance presents itself as a tribute to the wildest nature, where bourbon vetiver—renowned for its smoky, earthy, and slightly bitter character—emerges as the star of a complex, elegant, and profoundly masculine olfactory composition.

The opening is a green and sparkling explosion: rosewood unfolds its woody, floral elegance, enveloped by the bright, citrusy freshness of bergamot and the herbal nuance of lavender. Galbanum brings a raw and penetrating greenness, like freshly torn leaves between the fingers, while mint and petitgrain bigarade accentuate the opening with an energizing and vibrant freshness.

In the heart, the fragrance takes on a spicy and aromatic texture. Neroli, with its luminous, floral character, blends with the wild depth of sage and the vegetal nuance of celery, evoking orchards under the Mediterranean sun. The spices—cumin and nutmeg—emerge with an exotic, slightly animal warmth, which begins to hint at the sensuality of what is to come.

It is in the base notes that Vetiver Bourbon reveals all its richness and depth. Vetiver, grown in volcanic soils, emanates smoky, earthy, and mysteriously green notes. Its robust character intertwines with the softness of musk, the enveloping creaminess of tonka bean, and the sweet, resinous touch of sandalwood. Oakmoss, cedarwood, and patchouli round out the composition with a dry, noble, and long-lasting trail that clings to the skin like a lingering wild whisper.

This fragrance is not just a perfume, but a multisensory experience evoking remote landscapes, roots sunk deep in the earth, and skies open to the horizon. Its aromatic character and woody depth make it a timeless fragrance, ideal for those seeking an olfactory signature with identity, personality, and a deep connection with nature.

With its sophisticated combination of green, spicy, and earthy notes, Vetiver Bourbon is a contemporary tribute to noble raw materials and signature perfumery. An invitation to rediscover vetiver in its most authentic and enveloping expression.
