Vétiver d'Hiver
Unspecified
Vétiver d’Hiver, meaning 'Winter Vetiver', was directly inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The fragrance is a tribute to raw vetiver, which is infused with the freshness of citrus and cardomom notes. The scent is a refined combination of vetiver with a dry and smoky facet, juxtaposed against fresh and green notes. Notes of bergamot, lemon and cardamom lead to a heart of coriander, geranium and pink pepper. The fragrance dries down to a base of vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood.
