Bombay Perfumery Les Cayes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Les Cayes opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cedar, Guaiac Wood, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Clary Sage. Bombay Perfumery's Les Cayes carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a niche find for vetiver fans, offering solid quality for the price. Not a groundbreaking signature scent, but a reliable, high-quality contender that leans into the fresh-woody genre with confidence.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Les Cayes opens with a zingy burst of citrus - think sharp grapefruit and lemon cutting through the air. This bright, short-lived start quickly mellows, giving way to a smooth heart of earthy cedar and guaiac wood, spiced gently with nutmeg. The dry-down settles into a refined vetiver anchor, supported by herbaceous clary sage and a clean musk, creating an airy, sophisticated woodiness that lingers on the skin.
