Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Vetiver is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Christophe Raynaud. Bois de Vetiver opens with Blood Orange, Grapefruit, and Mint, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Rose, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Ambroxan. Karl Lagerfeld's Bois de Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This budget-friendly freshie punches well above its weight in scent quality, but its weak projection and longevity are a constant source of frustration. You'll love the smell, but hate how quickly it disappears.

About

Bois de Vetiver opens with a zesty burst of blood orange and grapefruit, brightened by a hint of cool mint. As the initial citrus fades, a fresh, almost dewy rose emerges, intertwined with a soft, clean vetiver that's far from earthy or dirty. The base settles into a smooth, musky accord with a touch of ambroxan, creating an easy-going and modern scent profile that's remarkably elegant for its price point.
