Description A raw, untamed fragrance that exalts the untamed character of this precious essence. Vetiver here embraces its strong character. Even more so: its virility. For while it has long been a staple of masculine scents, it is often presented in a refined, urban, and tamed form. In Vetiver Bourbon, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato liberates it from its highly civilized manners, restoring it to its innate elegance. The elegance of a raw material that, in its purest form, is a fragrance in itself, unique and full of contrasts.
