White Vetiver

What it smells like

White Vetiver distills vetiver roots into a refined, smoky‑woody base that anchors compositions for hours. It smells earthy and woody, with subtle citrus brightness and a dry, ambery warmth that is lighter than darker vetivers. Perfumers use it as a deep base note, pairing it with musk, amber, floral, or citrus accents for lasting depth.
