Bel Ami Vetiver

by Jean-Claude Ellena

Hermès Bel Ami Vetiver is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Bel Ami Vetiver settles into a heart of Iris, Styrax, Elemi, and Patchouli. Hermès's Bel Ami Vetiver carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This is a grown-up, sophisticated leather-vetiver that's a stunning modern classic, even if it might lean a little 'sexy grandpa' for some. Definitely one to try before you buy, but if it clicks, it's an absolute steal for the quality.

About

Imagine a warm, smoky vetiver, not too green, but kissed by a rich, smooth leather. It's got a subtle spice from cardamom, a deep amber glow, and a clean, almost powdery touch from iris. As it settles, a soft animalic note lends a sensual edge, evoking cozy evenings by a fireplace with expensive leather gloves.
