Versace l'Homme, a concentrate of scented virility
An inspiration was born. This is how one of the most emblematic juices of Guerlain men's perfumery was developed: Vetiver. A true tribute to this raw material typical of men's perfumes, this juice was developed in 1959 and has managed to weave its way through the ages to reach us intact almost 60 years after its creation.
Jean-Paul Guerlain's first perfume
It was then that he was only 22 years old that Jean-Paul Guerlain decided to make his own perfumes. It must be said that he was immersed in the world of perfumery from a young age! In fact, although Vetiver emanates from an encounter in the heart of nature as described above, it is also a fragrance whose base already existed in the Guerlain workshops. In addition, Vetiver is a modernized version of a masculine eau de parfum already created at Guerlain and which was popular in Mexico. Jean-Paul Guerlain decided to appropriate it and modernize it. He made it a more masculine juice than ever and particularly lively. Moreover, it is probably his dynamism that is the source of all his desires. Furthermore, Vetiver is a very interesting juice due to its contrasts. In addition, it combines very lively and fleeting notes with a more woody and spicy base. Thus, Vetiver is designed in the image of a dynamic and sporty man who likes to show off his virility and elegance just as much. Vetiver is a juice that cannot be given either age or location. It is suitable for all types of personalities, from urban and social men to true nature lovers.

Vetiver begins with a biting and fiery freshness. This fragrance immediately associates several citrus fruits such as bergamot, lemon, orange and grapefruit. Thus, its lively and fleeting freshness is both tangy and sparkling. Then, her heart grows stronger when it comes to masculinity. It combines spices such as pepper, chili or nutmeg. Likewise, it lets out curls of tobacco before evolving towards a more woody signature. Of course, Haitian vetiver is present at its base. It is enriched with the smoothness of sandalwood and the depth of patchouli. The tonka bean nevertheless rounds the whole thing off, leaving behind a particularly tender scent. Vetiver is then contained in the square and massive bottle typical of the Guerlain house. On the other hand,
