The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Vetiver Sport by Guerlain, launched in 2006 and crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and dynamism. The composition opens with bright citrus notes from bergamot and lemon, which are soon complemented by the warmth of nutmeg and pepper, creating an aromatic and spicy tension. As it settles, vetiver takes center stage, grounding the scent with its earthy, green character and a subtle touch of tonka bean for sweetness.

How to wear it

Apply Vetiver Sport generously to ensure that its bright citrus opening complements the spicy heart notes. The fragrance's base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so it’s best to wear it a bit closer to skin for a more intimate experience rather than expecting it to fill a room.
