Vertus Majeste is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Majeste opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Powdery, Animalic, and Vanilla. Vertus's Majeste carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde, opening with a bold citrus-animalic punch that some will adore and others will flat-out reject. It settles into something calmer, but expect a divisive entrance.

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 Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its excellent longevity and good, but not overpowering, projection make it suitable for office wear if applied subtly. The complex, evolving profile lends itself well to date nights and formal events, though its animalic edge might be a bit much for casual daytime use.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Majeste kicks off with a zesty explosion of lemon and orange, cut through with the sharp green edge of petitgrain. This bright opening leads into a heart of woody cedar and earthy patchouli, given depth by narcotic ylang-ylang. The real twist comes in the base, where a prominent animalic growl meets creamy vanilla and a soft, powdery finish, creating a complex, evolving scent story.
