How it moves
The first breath is lemon, bergamot, neroli and coriander, and it is loud about it. By the half hour it has become vetiver, nutmeg, pepper and tobacco. Last to go: Tonka Bean, cedar, musk and tobacco.
Who made it
Jean-Paul Guerlain composed it in 1961, for Guerlain in France. Jean-Paul Guerlain's Vetiver is one of the three great vetiver benchmarks of the 1960s, pairing Haitian vetiver with tobacco and a distinctive nutmeg-pepper spice.
