Versace for Men, contemporary above all
If many of these perfumes are either very feminine or unisex, Vétiver on the other hand asserts itself totally masculine but also totally revolutionary thanks to its very original accords.
When Dior revisits the classics with Vetiver from the Private Collection
The various bottles of the Private Collection of Christian Dior wish to recompose into precious bottles the great moments and great favorites of the history of the founding father of the house, the late Christian Dior. Between mythical places, couture collection and oriental souvenirs, François Demachy portrays a multitude of reminiscences in exceptional scents.
However with Vétiver the approach is somewhat different because the perfumer does not seek to draw a memory in perfume but rather to paint an olfactory self-portrait of the one we called the Dandy.
“Monsieur Dior had a particular sense of elegance and dandyism. Inspired by this sophisticated style with timeless chic, François Demachy imagined a powerful, raw, intense Vetiver. »Dior for Vétiver, La Collection Privée by Christian Dior.
Thus François Demachy will not hesitate to tackle one of the most symbolic raw materials of virility in perfume. A vetiver that has already been worked by the greatest such as the famous Vetiver by Guerlain released in 1959 then its version Vetiver Extreme or even Vetiver Oriental by Serge Lutens. But Dior's Vetiver will be unlike any other, thanks in particular to its vetiver-coffee accord, which makes it a fragrance as sophisticated as the style of Christian Dior.
The marriage between a vetiver note and a coffee note gives birth to the beautiful Vetiver by Dior
François Demachy loves to surprise us with his perfumes and this Private Collection allows the perfumer to dare to go even further by offering us explosions of scents that have never been seen before. When François Demachy works with tonka bean, it is not Gourmand, it is bitter, and when he works with vetiver it is not iced, it oscillates between freshness and spicy-caffeinated heat.
“Another horizon which densifies the dynamics of the perfume, each element influencing the other, at the discretion, sometimes, of crossovers and games of masks. »L'Express, François Demachy.
Vetiver by Dior opens with an essence of Sicilian bergamot accompanied by a pretty vegetal note that tempers the power of citrus. At the heart, the robusta coffee from South America meets the woody and somewhat earthy vetiver of Haiti to better ennoble it and round off its power in manly delicacies. Finally, the woody notes and the suave notes come to close the beauty of these cold hot contrasts by carrying us in their wake, both raw and velvety, where sophistication meets the most beautiful natural sobriety.
