The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1995 and crafted by Jo Malone herself, Vetyver is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that embodies the essence of earthy sophistication. The composition opens with bright citruses and fresh spices like nutmeg and coriander, creating a dynamic contrast against its heart of rich coffee and incense notes. As it settles into a base of vetyver, sandalwood, vanilla, and sequoia, Vetyver transforms into an enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and enduring.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers; it has a rich complexity that unfolds gradually. The top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so allow it to settle into its woody base for a more nuanced experience. Perfect for cooler evenings when you want a scent that feels both warm and grounded.
