Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Vétyver
This discontinued classic is the vetiver for people who don't 'do' vetiver. Smooth, warm, and sophisticated rather than rooty or grassy, it's widely adored - a hidden gem that's sadly missed by many.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Nouf
Nouf is a mild Middle Eastern-inspired scent, best suited for those who want a soft, office-friendly fragrance with subtle woody and peppery nuances. It won't turn heads, but it's a solid choice for quiet days.

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
