The Story
Vetiver from the Collection Extraordinaire is a refined take on a classic note. It opens with a bright burst of bergamot and bitter orange, then settles into a clean, earthy vetiver heart with a touch of nutmeg. The base is warm and woody, with cedar and a hint of leather. It's sophisticated, versatile, and perfect for someone who wants a vetiver that feels both classic and modern.
