‘A tangy surge of pepper immediately provides an invigorating freshness, and a sure feeling of virility. Vetiver reveals itself, powerful and raw, in a criss-crossing of roots and vegetation made up of mastic, turmeric and violet leaf. Launched in 1968, Vetyver was advertised then as “male flowers, muscular and musky (…), a fresh, dry and streamlined fragrance”. This woody piece was revisited in 2021 through the filter of sustainable development by Nicolas Beaulieu, who recomposed it while picturing an ethical kind of masculinity, returning to the soil.’ – Le Galion Parfums
