The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2008 by Andy Tauer, 07 Vetiver Dance is a composition that dances between fresh and earthy notes. The fragrance opens with clary sage and grapefruit, bringing a vibrant freshness that contrasts beautifully against the warm spiciness of black pepper. As it evolves, vetiver takes center stage, grounding the scent in its signature earthy richness while lily-of-the-valley and Bulgarian rose add a delicate floral touch. Ambergris, cedar, tonka bean, and labdanum round out the base notes with their deep, enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms best close to skin, so apply it directly to pulse points. The grapefruit top note is fleeting, but the vetiver base slowly unfolds over several hours, making it ideal for an evening out.
