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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear, though its unique, earthy character might be too bold for some office environments. It works for a date if you want to make an impression, but less so for formal settings due to its unconventional profile.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Vetyver Haiti kicks off with a surprisingly bright, yet fleeting, citrus zing from lemon and bergamot before diving headfirst into its earthy heart. The titular vetiver presents itself as smoky, rooty, and almost tarry, softened by a subtle vanilla. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by a creamy, almost rum-like sweetness, creating a grounding, complex base that some find akin to tropical rain or damp earth.
