Lubin Le Vetiver is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007, created by Lucien Ferrero. Le Vetiver opens with Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Pepper, Clove, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of White Tobacco, Virginia Cedarwood, Vetiver, and Myrrh. Lubin's Le Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a serious contender for one of the best classic vetivers on the market, despite flying under the radar. It's often compared to Guerlain's iconic Vetiver, yet many find it superior, offering a sophisticated and elegant take on the genre.

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 bright, zesty burst of grapefruit and orange, quickly transitioning to a warm, spiced heart of peppery clove and nutmeg. As it settles, a refined vetiver emerges, supported by a rich, smoky blend of white tobacco, myrrh, and frankincense, grounded by dry cedarwood.
