Majeste

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

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.
