Vetiver
The reference vetiver: earthy root, tobacco and pepper over incense. Dry, upright, without the slightest concession to sweetness.
L'Homme
Ginger and citrus over violet leaf and basil, peppered to stay dry. Tonka bean, cedar and vetiver leave a clean, faintly powdery base that sits close to the skin — an everyday masculine.
