Vetiver doesn’t get any better than this
My most worn fragrance of 2024. It perennially vies with Guerlain’s to take the top spot on my shelf. This is the highest quality, earthiest, greenest vetiver blended masterfully with a rooty angelica, warm spicy cloves, powdery orris butter, and a deliciously musky ambrette seed oil in the base.
To me, VB effectively works as a hinge between Guerlain’s vetiver and FM’s French Lover, two other favorites in my wardrobe. In terms of their vibe, the Guerlain is gentlemanly and thoroughly complex, with a citrus top, a distinctive tobacco that acts as co-star, and an animalic undercurrent. French Lover, for its part, is bold and more modern, using an astringent angelica up top and a unique incense accord that is bolstered by a well judged woody amber base.
Corticchiato’s vetiver, in contrast to these two, is bright, light, eminently natural, and thoroughly realistic (as in accurate). This doesn’t imply a lack of finesse, don’t get me wrong; it is simple in the best possible way. In a word: elegant. I feel invigorated, sharp, focused, confident, and smart when I wear it. Who doesn’t enjoy a boost like that?
