Keiko Mecheri Vetiver Velours is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Keiko Mecheri's Vetiver Velours carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is truly divisive. Some find it a unique, luxurious take on vetiver, others are completely turned off by a soapy drydown or a scent profile that smells like 'vomit'. Definitely try before you buy.

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.

About

Vetiver Velours opens with a surprising sweetness of toffee, quickly giving way to a velvety, nuanced vetiver. Woody notes provide an earthy foundation, while a delicate whisper of tobacco adds an intriguing depth. The benzoin offers a balsamic, resinous warmth, rounding out a scent that is both sophisticated and unusually comforting, with a subtle powdery aspect emerging in the drydown.
