The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Juliette Has A Gun, Ex Vetiver is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for both women and men, crafted by perfumer Romano Ricci. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of bergamot and lemon, creating an immediate freshness that contrasts beautifully with the rich earthiness of Haitian vetiver and Java vetiver oil. As it develops, Ex Vetiver evolves into a warm, powdery base anchored by ambroxan and musk, offering a sense of grounded comfort.
Apply Ex Vetiver to pulse points for a subtle warmth that evolves throughout the day. The citrus opening is vibrant but fleeting, so let it settle before leaving home. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in the air, making it ideal for daytime wear.
