Description
Vetiver in Bloom by Scents of Wood presents a captivating and authentic interpretation of vetiver, designed to evoke a blooming effect rather than its traditional earthy ruggedness. It opens with a refreshing burst of green citrus, bergamot, and pink pepper, awakening the senses with brightness. As it develops, delicate florals like syringa blossoms, magnolia, jasmine, and lilac intertwine with a vibrant, clean vetiver, creating a luminous and ethereal heart. The fragrance settles into a soft, warm dry-down of oakwood, white musk, and patchouli, leaving a gentle, woody embrace on the skin. This scent is a delightful journey through a spring garden where fresh flowers meet the grounded depth of vetiver. Perfumer: Natasha Côté-Mouzannar
