Bois de Vetiver

Bois de Vetiver by Karl Lagerfeld is a bright, clean, and refreshing fragrance with a crisp citrus opening of blood orange and pink grapefruit, paired with mint and a subtle aromatic freshness. It transitions smoothly into a delicate vetiver heart, enhanced by geranium and a soft, floral rose note, before settling into a warm, creamy base of musk, ambroxan, and patchouli. The scent strikes a balance between light and sophisticated, evoking a clean, youthful, and effortlessly wearable aura. It is particularly suitable for day wear in spring and summer, in casual or professional settings, offering a discreet, non-intrusive presence. While some users perceive a sweet or soapy dry-down, the overall profile is gently aromatic and wearable for a wide range of people. Performance is moderate—lasting around 4 to 5 hours and projecting only moderately—leaving a soft, intimate sillage that barely a breath of scent from the skin. Despite this, the fragrance is praised for its cohesive blending, elegant simplicity, and value for money, making it a reliable, safe blind-buy choice for those seeking a subtle, pleasant fragrance that avoids bold or challenging notes.
