The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Roja Dove, Vetiver is a complex and layered fragrance that balances fresh citrus notes with earthy and woody accords. The composition opens with bergamot and lemon, providing a bright and invigorating start before transitioning into the heart of jasmine, rose, and vetiver. These floral and green elements blend seamlessly into an earthy base of oakmoss, cedar, labdanum, and other rich woods. Vetiver by Roja Dove is not just a fragrance but an exploration of texture and depth.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers; its rich base notes develop gradually on the skin. The fresh top notes are most prominent initially but give way to deeper woody and mossy accords as the day progresses.
