Vetiver Root

Vetiver Root is a green, woody scent from the Greek brand Korres, released in 2020 and worn by anyone. Everyone who describes it calls it green and woody; about half also find it spicy, herbal, ambery and citrusy, which gives a fair picture of a vetiver dressed with tea and spice rather than left bare.

Bergamot and green tea set a cool, slightly bitter opening. Lavender and cardamom follow, adding a clean herbal note and a touch of warm spice. Vetiver root is the core: earthy, dry and a little smoky, the smell of damp roots and cut grass. Tonka bean and amber soften the finish with a faint sweetness so the drydown is not austere.

Wear reports are not yet available. The green, tea-led profile points to spring and summer days, office hours and warm evenings, and to people who like fresh scents with some earth under them. It comes in a small bottle.
