Commodity Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Caroline Sabas. Vetiver opens with Petalia, Apple, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Commodity's Vetiver carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This is a deeply polarising one, splitting the room between 'genius' and 'urinous mess'. It's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're after a unique, earthy vetiver with a fruity twist, this could be your dark horse.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its unique and sometimes challenging character, make it less ideal for formal or sporty settings. It shines best in casual environments or on dates where its distinctive scent can be appreciated without overwhelming.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Commodity Vetiver opens with an unconventional blend, where tangy blackberry and crisp apple cut through with a hint of petalia. The heart introduces a subtle, non-indolic jasmine that gently weaves into the evolving profile. As it settles, a rich tapestry of earthy vetiver, smoky cedar, creamy sandalwood, and deep patchouli emerges, creating a dark, damp, and woody finish.
