Mon Vetiver

Gin and tonic in a garden — the most accurate description of the opening minutes. It begins dazzlingly fresh: Mexican lime and juniper berries create a recognizable gin accord, sharp and slightly alcoholic, while lavandin adds an herbal coolness. Gentian brings a green bitterness — exactly what makes the composition truly interesting. Then the main character steps forward: Haitian vetiver, certified through a program supporting local farmers, smells bright and grassy — not rough or earthy, but clean, like freshly cut grass. In the drydown, Cashmeran adds woody softness, while Indonesian patchouli provides an earthy foundation. Vetiver in its most civilized form: elegant, invigorating and impeccably clean.
