The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1959 by Guerlain, Vetiver (Vintage Edition) is crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain and remains a lasting emblem of the brand's dedication to luxurious materials. The composition opens with lemon, giving way to a heart of vetiver and tobacco before settling into a base of tobacco, nutmeg, and pepper. This blend creates an aromatic and fresh-spicy character that speaks to both its vintage charm and staying power.
For best results, apply this fragrance to pulse points in moderation. The lemon top note fades quickly, allowing the woody and tobacco base notes to unfold gradually over time. It's ideal for cooler weather when its earthy warmth is most appreciated.
