THE SCENT OF THE FIRST RAIN. REIMAGINED.
Haute Vetiver isn't another woody fragrance built around ordinary vetiver. It captures the unmistakable scent of the first rain falling on sun-baked earth—where sparkling citruses meet the earthy depth of Indian Wild Vetiver, enriched by the richness of raw cacao and elegant woods. The result is a fragrance that's fresh yet grounded, bold yet refined, evolving beautifully from its vibrant opening to a sophisticated woody trail that lingers all day.
Born from the untamed beauty of Indian Wild Vetiver
Most perfumers work with smoother varieties of vetiver sourced from around the world. Haute Vetiver dares to celebrate Indian Wild Vetiver—a rare, powerful ingredient admired for its raw, earthy character and challenging nature. Master perfumer Julien Rasquinet embraced this complexity, pairing it with luminous citruses and unexpected raw cacao to create a composition that feels as evocative as the scent of rain meeting dry earth. It's a fragrance that transforms one of perfumery's most challenging naturals into an expression of modern luxury.
From Rain-Kissed Freshness to Earthy Woody Elegance
Haute Vetiver opens with an invigorating burst of grapefruit, cardamom, and pink pepper, recreating the freshness carried by the first drops of rain. As it settles, angelica and geranium introduce an aromatic green heart, while Indian Wild Vetiver takes center stage with its unmistakable earthy depth. The dry down is elevated by raw cacao, cypriol, and cypress, leaving behind a rich, woody signature that is sophisticated, distinctive, and remarkably long-lasting.
