Hiram Green Vetiver EDP

This spicy and woody fragrance is what Hiram Green imagines heartthrobs of Hollywood's golden age smelled like: elegant and charming, yet vigorous and adventuresome. 

The perfume takes its name from vetiver, an extraordinary tropical grass that originates from India. Its smell is complex: at the same time fresh, spicy, earthy and woody. Although vetiver is a popular ingredient in men's perfumes, inspiring examples of less masculine fragrances can certainly be found in perfume history. As you may expect, Hiram Green's Vetiver refuses to choose sides. 

Vetiver opens with a sharp aromatic blend of citrus fruits, followed by fresh ginger. At its heart all facets of vetiver are present. To add extra depth and complexity Hiram Green included two varieties of vetiver, one from Haïti and the other from Java. Once the vetiver heart begins to subside, cedarwood and ambrette seed provide a soft and gentle finish. 

Notes: citrus, ginger, vetiver, cedarwood, ambrette seed

Ingredients: all ingredients are of natural origin: alcohol, aqua, parfum, d-limonene, linalool, citral, geraniol, farnesol, citronellol, isoeugenol

Why you'll love it

Netherlands-based, Canadian-born perfumer Hiram Green has always managed to coax a dazzling polish from complex natural materials while maintaining the wildness that makes them special. This scent marks a notable shift away from opulent florals and into the mystery of the forest. Entering the vivid world of "Vetiver" feels almost hallucinogenic; an immersive jungle installation, all misty greens, simmering gingery galangal, singing citrus droplets and humid, conspiring earth. At the base, two distinct origins of vetiver rumble in all of their warm-green, suede-brown, fudgey-earthy luxury. A refreshingly unique, unisex take on a classic ingredient rarely seen in full force, this scent is the perfect balance of wild and civilized.
