The 7 Virtues Vetiver Elemi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Angela Stavrevska. Vetiver Elemi opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Geranium, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. The 7 Virtues's Vetiver Elemi carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive green woody scent: some find it a unique, clean take on vetiver, others get aftershave, or worse, body odour or lamb skewers. If you love a complex, earthy vetiver, track it down.

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 Summer
Also Works:

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh profile make it suitable for office wear and excellent for casual daytime activities like picnics or farmers markets. Some find it a bit too masculine or spicy for formal settings, and it's not quite robust enough 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

  • Eugenol from Nutmeg
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Moss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Vetiver Elemi opens with a bright, zingy burst of bergamot and grapefruit, swiftly joined by the fresh, almost resinous elemi. The heart introduces a surprising warmth with spicy cardamom and cumin alongside delicate rose and geranium, weaving through the initial greenness. As it settles, a clean, earthy vetiver takes centre stage, grounded by moss, patchouli, and a touch of amber, creating a deep, verdant woodiness.
