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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate projection and clean, woody-vetiver profile make it perfect for office wear and casual settings, as many reviews highlight its 'inoffensive' and 'customer service scent' qualities. While versatile enough for a date, its lighter nature and lack of strong sillage limit its impact for formal events or sports.

About

Cuir Vetiver opens with a crisp, earthy blast of vetiver, quickly joined by the dry, woody heart of cedar and a hint of soft, clean leather. As it settles, a sweet, creamy tonka bean emerges in the base, lending warmth and a subtle vanilla-like touch that softens the initial vetiver sharpness. It’s a well-balanced woody composition with a gentle, inviting embrace.
