Lanvin Vetyver (2003) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2003, created by François Robert and Léna Piérotti. Vetyver (2003) opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Caraway, Bitter Orange, Jasmine, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Lanvin's Vetyver (2003) carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a quiet, clean, green scent for those who like their vetiver dialled right down. It's pleasant and inoffensive, though some find it a bit too weak and not really living up to its name.

Scent Profile

Composition

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

Opens with a brisk, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and lime, sharpened by a touch of juniper. As it settles, a gentle spiciness emerges with caraway and nutmeg, softened by a hint of jasmine. The dry down is a subtle blend of musky woods- cedar and sandalwood- with vetiver playing a surprisingly subdued, clean role, rather than a dominant earthy one.
