The Collection Elegant Vetiver

The quiet introspection of an afternoon spent reading — where the crisp green notes of pistachio and juniper berries meet the grounding earthiness of vetiver, all set against the backdrop of a sunlit study.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021, The Collection Elegant Vetiver by Hugo Boss is a Woody fragrance crafted by perfumer Sophie Labbé. It opens with the fresh, green notes of pistachio and juniper berries before settling into an earthy heart of Haitian vetiver and Java vetiver oil. The base layers are richly musky and ambery, anchored by cashmeran and labdanum for a warm and comforting finish. Sophie Labbé's composition is a study in contrast, balancing freshness with depth.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms gradually, so two sprays on pulse points will allow it to develop fully. It pairs well with cooler weather but also works in mild climates, as the green and aromatic notes provide a refreshing lift.
