Molton Brown Vetiver & Grapefruit is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019. Vetiver & Grapefruit opens with Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cinnamon and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Molton Brown's Vetiver & Grapefruit carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A sharp, classic scent oft-compared to Terre d'Hermes, but without the staying power. If you love a spicy, woody vetiver and don't mind reapplying, this is a solid pick for casual wear.

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

Molton Brown's Vetiver & Grapefruit opens with an invigorating burst of tart grapefruit, sharpened by pink pepper and a hint of cardamom's zing. This freshness quickly settles, making way for a warm, spicy heart of nutmeg and cinnamon. The dry down is a grounding blend of earthy vetiver and patchouli, underscored by a dry cedarwood that provides a sophisticated base.
