More about Guerlain Vétiver
A 1959 masterpiece by Jean-Paul Guerlain — the gentleman's vetiver, redefined for every era since. A piquant citrus opening of bergamot, lemon, orange and grapefruit gives way to a sophisticated heart of vetiver, tobacco, pepper and nutmeg, resting on sandalwood, patchouli and tonka bean. Crisp, woody, eternally elegant — the kind of scent that makes a room turn its head without ever raising its voice.
