Our view
Vétiver Extraordinaire is probably one of the most beautiful vetivers in existence. Dominique Ropion used an exceptional dose of Haitian vetiver essence, surrounded by cedarwood, sandalwood and a touch of citrus. The result: a dry, clean woody scent of absolute elegance. The perfume of a man who has nothing to prove.
When to wear it
All year round, at the office or at the weekend. Its trail is present without ever being overpowering, and it lasts superbly.

If you love Vétiver Extraordinaire…
Try French Lover, a more aromatic woody scent, or Acqua di Parma’s Colonia Essenza, more citrus.
