Vetiver Pour Prestige Absolu
ExtraitUnisex
The Story
Vetiver Pour Prestige Absolu is a deep, smoky take on vetiver that feels both rugged and refined. The opening is a burst of citrus and spices, but the heart quickly reveals a rich, earthy vetiver blended with tobacco and leather. The base is warm and resinous, with labdanum and vanilla adding a smooth sweetness. This is a vetiver for those who want something bold and long-lasting.
