Giorgio Armani Vétiver d'Hiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Alberto Morillas. Vétiver d'Hiver opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Patchouli. Giorgio Armani's Vétiver d'Hiver carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Vétiver d'Hiver is a sophisticated citrus-vetiver that smells incredible but suffers from weak performance. It's a gorgeous, albeit fleeting, experience that most agree is overpriced for its longevity.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it ideal for office wear and casual outings. However, its poor longevity and projection mean it might struggle for impact on a date or formal event, despite its elegant scent profile. The citrus and aromatic accords lend themselves well to daytime settings.

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

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

Opens with a brilliant, clean blast of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, bright and energising. The heart introduces a subtle spices, primarily cardamom and pink pepper, adding a refined warmth. It then settles into a soft, airy vetiver, complemented by an earthy patchouli. It’s a clean and smooth composition, less about raw vetiver and more about a harmonious fresh-woody balance.
