Oriza L. Legrand Vetiver Royal Bourbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1914. Vetiver Royal Bourbon opens with Thyme and Peppermint, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Iris, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Cade, Oakmoss, and Styrax. Oriza L. Legrand's Vetiver Royal Bourbon carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, this is a vetiver for those who want something earthy, refined, and distinctly old-school. It's a proper statement, not for the faint of heart or those who prefer modern aquatics.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for more intimate settings like dates, while its classic, robust character leans towards formal and cooler casual wear. Some find it too potent for the office, and its earthy complexity isn't a match for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an intriguing, almost camphorous blast of peppermint and thyme, setting a bracing, herbaceous tone. This quickly mellows into a rich heart where a deep, smoky, rooty vetiver takes centre stage, beautifully complemented by the subtle, leathery creaminess of iris and sandalwood. The dry down introduces a sophisticated blend of cade, oakmoss, and styrax, adding a warm, resinous depth and a hint of a distinguished tobacco or leather nuance.
