The Scent of the Earth at First Light
Description
Guerlain Vétiver de Guerlain is a classic woody aromatic fragrance for men, born from the House's fascination with the earthy roots of vetiver — one of the most distinctive raw materials in perfumery. Created in its modern interpretation by Jean-Paul Guerlain, it captures the spontaneous freshness of citrus at dawn, deepening into the distinctive, grassy earthiness of vetiver enriched with tobacco, spice and tonka bean.
Sober, natural and timelessly elegant, it is a fragrance for the man who values understated sophistication. Presented in the iconic square, faceted Guerlain bottle with a guilloché-engraved matte cap.
