Le Labo Vetiver 46 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Mark Buxton. Vetiver 46 opens with Pepper, settles into a heart of Amber, Bergamot, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Frankincense. Le Labo's Vetiver 46 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet magnetic, Vetiver 46 is Le Labo's smoky, spicy, and often misunderstood take on vetiver. It is not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it. Expect a powerful, old-school masculine vibe that either compels or repels.

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

Imagine stepping into an ancient wooden church, heavy with the scent of frankincense and rich, warm spices. Vetiver 46 opens with a bold, peppery blast, quickly joined by the earthy, almost dry character of vetiver. As it settles, cedar and guaiac wood create a sturdy, smoky backbone, softened by hints of vanilla and amber, evoking a comforting yet serious warmth. It's a journey from sharp spice to a smooth, balsamic embrace.
