Vetiver Haiti

Vetiver Haiti, from the Italian house The Merchant of Venice, is a purely woody fragrance composed by Yann Vasnier and released in 2023.

The composition centres on Haitian vetiver, one of the most prized forms of the material. Vetiver is a grass root, and it smells dry, earthy and slightly smoky, with a clean, almost citrusy freshness at the top and a deeper, rooty, sometimes nutty character underneath. Haitian vetiver tends to be the brighter, cleaner style. Here it is supported by woody notes and precious woods, which give it a smooth, polished body and stretch the dry, earthy freshness into a long, quiet drydown.

Worn by anyone, it suits spring and autumn, office days, smart casual wear and warm summer evenings. It should appeal to those who like elegant, minimalist woods, and who want a vetiver scent that focuses on its clean, grassy side rather than heavy smoke or sweetness.
