Vetiver For Men

Guerlain Vetiver, 1961, is the benchmark every other vetiver gets measured against — and the reason is that it treats the root as a barbershop material rather than an earthy one.

Lemon, bergamot and neroli make the opening bright and soapy-clean. Then the Haitian vetiver arrives with pepper, nutmeg and a touch of tobacco, dry and slightly smoky, and it sits on that for hours over amber and a light musk. It reads formal in the best sense: shaved, pressed and unhurried.
