Bergamot and nutmeg open bright over a deep vetiver heart, tobacco and leather threading through moss, myrrh and tonka. Complex and refined, this vintage vetiver feels textured and masculine, earthy from top to base.

How Vetiver (1961 Original) smells, measured

Warmthtemperate0.39

Vetiver (1961 Original) sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 31st percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.51

Vetiver (1961 Original) sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 59th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.22

Vetiver (1961 Original) is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 21st percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Texturemid-range0.49

Vetiver (1961 Original) sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Vetiver (1961 Original) keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 13th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
