Vilhelm Parfumerie Back to the Roots is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Back to the Roots opens with Angelica, Petitgrain, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Orris, Violet, Ginger, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Driftwood, Musk, and Sandalwood. Vilhelm Parfumerie's Back to the Roots carries a Statement verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This one is a divisive brew. A super green, woody iris that some will adore for its unique, almost vintage charm, while others will find it just a bit off or too astringent. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

Imagine a walk through a damp, overgrown garden after the rain. Back to the Roots opens with a sharp, verdant hit of galbanum and petitgrain, softened by a ghostly touch of angelica. The heart reveals a powdery, earthy iris melded with a hint of spicy ginger and delicate violet tea, grounded by a woody base of smooth sandalwood and salty driftwood. It’s green, woody, and slightly anachronistic, like digging up forgotten roots.
