Vetiver
Guerlain Vetiver Parfum is a considerably darker reading of the house's vetiver than the version most people know.
Basil, rosemary, lemon and bergamot open it green and herbal, with wormwood adding the bitterness that sets the tone. Wormwood is the material that tells you this will not be a polite citrus start.
The heart is where it becomes unusual. Fern and juniper berry sit with rose, and smoke runs directly underneath them, dry and ashy. Vetiver itself appears here as well as in the base, so the fragrance never leaves its subject.
Licorice, oakmoss, vetiver and violet finish it. Licorice is dark and faintly sweet, oakmoss is damp and bitter, and violet adds a cool powder that softens what would otherwise be severe.
How Vetiver Parfum wears
It lasts a long time and projects moderately, staying within arm's reach while holding all evening. Autumn and winter suit it best.
Guerlain Vetiver Parfum, 100ml, created by Delphine Jelk in 2024 for Guerlain, the Paris house founded in 1828.
