Vetiver by Guerlain

Undoubtedly, Vetiver by Guerlain is one of the heavy-weight in the olfactory world. The masculine Vetiver by Guerlain was created in 1961 by the then 22-year-old Jean-Paul Guerlain and it has since became the definitive vetiver scent in the world. According to Jean-Paul, the fragrance was inspired by the scent of the gardener, the smell of tobacco and soil.

The perfume was relaunched in 2000 but according to Guerlain, the scent remains unchanged.
