Vétiver d'Hiver

by Alberto Morillas

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

Our verdict on Vétiver d'Hiver: Favourite

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.

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.

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.
