Bois 1920 Vetiver Ambrato is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005. The fragrance opens with Petitgrain, Galbanum, Artemisia, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Vetiver, Amber, and Benzoin.

Our verdict on Vetiver Ambrato: Statement

This one's a bit of a grandad scent, leaning heavily into a classic barbershop vibe. While some find it refined and sophisticated, others might struggle with its old-school charm and powdery dry-down. Definitely not for the modern crowd, unless you're aiming for ironic.

About

Vetiver Ambrato opens with a zesty, herbal burst of lemon, bergamot, and galbanum, quickly settling into a prominent aromatic heart of lavender and geranium. The dry-down is where the true character emerges: a smooth, powdery amber and benzoin, with a subtle whisper of vanilla. Despite the name, vetiver often takes a backseat to the warm, resinous base, creating a sensation of polished classicism.
