Guerlain Vetiver Eau de Toilette captures the cool breath of earth at dawn and turns it into elegance. A piquant spark of citrus opens with orange, bergamot, and lemon before warm spices begin to glow, then the composition settles into a noble heart of vetiver as tobacco and tonka bean create a gentle, enduring warmth that feels crisp, clean, and unmistakably refined on skin.
Launch & Perfumer
The modern Vetiver Eau de Toilette premiered in 2000 under the authorship of Jean Paul Guerlain, drawing on a house idea first explored in the 1950s and carried forward as a timeless masculine signature.

Story & Positioning
Vetiver stands as a benchmark of French grooming style, balancing sparkling citrus and subtle spice with a distinguished grassy wood to create a versatile, day-to-evening signature. It is frequently chosen by those who enjoy polished vetiver expressions with a touch of tobacco warmth, and it sits naturally alongside modern favorites like Tom Ford Grey Vetiver and Creed Original Vetiver for anyone seeking a crisp, gentlemanly profile with heritage depth.
Bottle & Design
The flacon is square, facetted, and pared back for clarity, its geometric glass framing the green juice while a substantial matte cap features fine guilloché detailing inspired by watchmaking. The overall impression is sober, architectural, and reassuringly weighty in hand.
