Vétiver Extraordinaire 20 Ans by Frederic Malle was launched in 2020, crafted by Dominique Ropion to celebrate the brand’s commitment to exceptional fragrances. This composition opens with a bright and crisp blend of Bitter Orange, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, creating an initial burst of freshness. As it evolves, Vetiver takes center stage, grounding the scent in earthy richness while Cashmeran adds a powdery warmth that softens the edges. The base notes of Cedar, Oakmoss, and Musk create a deep, sensual finish that lingers on the skin.

Dominique Ropion is a daring perfectionist, a true inventor. The risks he takes are invariably accompanied by a relentless pursuit of exact olfactory balance and flawless composition. His perfumes are like great architectural feats: in the same way that a bridge, whose seemingly miraculous suspension of weight is in fact a harnessing of counteracting forces, Dominique often balances excessive doses of powerful ingredients with meticulously-measured, subtler accords, until the composition holds up on its own. A good perfume, he likes to say, must always appear obvious.
