Description
Ex Vetiver by Juliette Has A Gun is a polished, modern vetiver built around an overdose of three vetiver varieties for a clean, green, woody signature. Bright bergamot and lemon open the fragrance with refined citrus freshness before transitioning into an elegantly earthy vetiver heart from Haiti, India, and Indonesia. A musky Ambroxan base adds a smooth, slightly creamy trail with high-volume sillage and a contemporary, skin-like warmth. Designed as a feminine fragrance dedicated to men, it wears as a highly versatile, office-ready vetiver that still feels sensual and stylish. Created by Romano Ricci for men.

Community Insights
Reviewers describe Ex Vetiver as a fresh, citrusy, grassy vetiver with a clean, musky base that feels both comforting and sophisticated. Many praise it as an easy-to-wear, modern vetiver with strong throw and solid longevity, though a minority find it either too light or a bit too feminine for their taste.
Pros
Performance excellence: Many users report strong projection at first with high-volume sillage and around 6–8 hours of wear, often describing it as long-lasting with good throw.
Versatile appeal: Frequently worn as a daily signature for warm weather, office settings, and casual daytime use, with some reviewers calling it their go-to or favorite perfume.
Quality composition: Fans highlight the refined citrus opening, green earthy vetiver heart, and smooth musky-Ambroxan base as a sophisticated, well-blended take on vetiver that feels polished rather than harsh.
Cons
Specific limitation: A segment of male reviewers finds the scent profile noticeably girly or softer than expected for a traditional masculine vetiver, which can be disappointing if they expect a darker, smokier style.
Situational drawback: Some users note that while the opening projects well, it can settle into a closer-to-skin scent later on, making it less ideal for very cold weather or situations where maximum projection is desired.
Comparisons
Similar to Byredo Bal d'Afrique: Reviewers liken the vibe to a friendly, polished vetiver with bright citrus and clean woods, though Ex Vetiver leans more linear and musky-Ambroxan in the drydown.
Reminds reviewers of Hermès Vétiver Tonka: It evokes the idea of a smoother, more approachable vetiver, but without the pronounced gourmand tonka sweetness, focusing instead on freshness and clean musky woods.
Vibe & Emotions
Confident calm: Worn to the office or important daytime meetings, it gives a composed, professional aura without feeling loud or aggressive.
Fresh optimism: The bright citrus and green vetiver facets create an uplifting, energizing mood, especially in spring and summer daytime wear.
Comforting cleanliness: As it dries down to a musky-Ambroxan base, it feels like a soft, clean second skin that suits relaxed evenings and close-contact settings.
