Korloff Paris Black Vetiver is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014. Black Vetiver opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Iris and Incense, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Vetiver. Korloff Paris's Black Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A dark, elegant iris-vetiver blend that draws inevitable comparisons to Dior Homme, but carves its own niche with a drier, more brooding character. Divisive on performance, but generally well-received for its sophisticated scent profile.

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

Black Vetiver opens with a refined, slightly sweet, and powdery hit of iris, brightened by bergamot and a whisper of pepper and cardamom. As it develops, a warm, resinous amber and musky quality emerges, deepening the scent. The drydown settles into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver and woody notes, providing a dark yet comforting finish.
