This Sri Lankan vetiver sits between two of the world’s great vetiver references: Java and Haiti. A root oil for those who want to study how the same species changes from one origin to another.

＋ 01 — Origin and botany

Vetiver, Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty, is a perennial grass of the Poaceae family, native from north-eastern India to Indochina. It was formerly called Vetiveria zizanioides. In Sri Lanka it is an introduced crop.

The aromatic part is its long, dense roots.

＋ 02 — Extraction and production

The dried roots are distilled for many hours, because their components are heavy and come over slowly.

A study of vetivers from nine origins found a very homogeneous composition in their main components. The differences between origins lie in the nuances.

＋ 03 — Olfactory profile

The neat oil. A vetiver between the Java and Haiti profiles.

＋ 04 — Uses in perfumery

Woody and root accords: structure, dryness and tenacity.
Chypre, leather and incense: classic bases where vetiver holds the composition together.
Studying origins: part of our vetiver Discovery Set.

Salida deliciosa y el secado también, después de la salida se vuelve empolvado con un aire vintage y lo siento que se inclina hacia lo femenino aunque globalmente es unisex. Creo que está bien equilibrado con ingredientes top. Una maravilla.

Donde pone "olvidado" debe leerse "olido".

Algo absolutamente diferente a lo que había olido hasta ahora.
Muy complejo.
Tardaré meses en aprehender todos sus matices.
En un futuro, compraré el formato de 5 ml.

Pasta de Civeta Natural — Etiopía — Pura

Simplistic ingredient list that hides an elegant development.
Powdery rooty facets surround a clean oud mix in which Hainan profile shines brighter, woody slightly resinous, sweet and leathery notes are predominant, with orris root as a continuous support. Ambergris can be felt soon and gains strength as time progresses, respectful to the oud.

Longevity is excellent, projection is more subtle but, as attar standards go, it's enough and suited to the elegant character of the composition. Thanks to that, it probably can be worn throughout the whole year, and I can confirm it survives on skin enough to be felt after a dip at the sea. Having said that, it probably suits more daily wear, specially if you work dressed up in a suit. Traditionally masculine leaning but I think it would suit anyone willing.

Underpriced for what it is and its ingredients. I'm glad I bough three grams as I gave one to a friend as a present and I keep two.

The owner of the brand is also really communicative, open and a good inspiration for those that want to share his passion.
