Description
In 1968, in the midst of the sexual revolution, Paul Vacher created the iconic fragrance Vetiver. Vetiver or “Male Flowers”. According to the launch campaign of the fragrance at the time, the perfume house went all the way to the Indian continent to source the flowers, they are called Vetiver. The fragrance was muscular and musky. Fresh, dry, and racy. A truly male fragrance.’”
Le Galion is proud to relaunch Vetiver today, based on the original formula. A decidedly aromatic fragrance, opening with citrus notes of spicy Bergamot, Italian Mandarin, Nutmeg and Coriander, it develops an aromatic heart around Clary Sage, Lavender, Petitgrain, Tarragon and Verbena, and finishes with an intense wake of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Musk.
Vetyver was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Thomas Fontaine.

This is my first sample from Le Galion and I can’t say I’m impressed.
The thing about “Vetyver” – it’s not really about vetiver which is one of my favorite notes worn by my husband.
That said – “Vetyver” opened with a harsh amount of spices and citrus dominated notes – reminded me a lot of many classical Italian cologne – type scents. Very aromatic, herbal, a bit sharp and tiny bit old school.
I did not get vetyver as I mentioned, but that wasn’t the reason why I was dissapointed – this literally has a staying power of 30 minutes! And then it’s a warm, close to skin sandalwood/musk. Or maybe not even that. After an hour I’m left with nothing, just my skin, though I could feel some traces of “Vetyver”.
If you look for vetiver – don’t try to find it here.
