Sapientiae Niche Vetiver de Noir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Sanderson Santana. Vetiver de Noir opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Ebony, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Ambergris.

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.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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 a zesty, spicy kick of bergamot, mandarin, and pink pepper before diving into a heart of smooth cashmere wood and earthy cedar, softened by a hint of peony. The dry down is where the magic happens: a deep, dark blend of vetiver, ebony, and oakmoss, underpinned by a warm, mysterious ambergris and styrax base. It's a journey into a shadowy forest, refined and intriguing.
