A mineral tinged vetiver wrapped around the house’s signature creamy musc, Vetiver Musc opens with a brisk lift of green cardamom, nutmeg, and cypress that feels airy and elemental, then eases into a textured heart where musc is brushed with geranium, lavender, and a saline red algae accent, before settling into a refined trail of cedar, patchouli, and earthy vetiver that feels clean, modern, and quietly magnetic.

Story and Positioning
A new chapter in the For Him pillar, first introduced in 2007, Vetiver Musc draws on nature-inspired freshness and a mineral facet to express a calm, contemporary masculinity while keeping the brand’s emblematic musc at the center. The brand highlights a vegan formula and an outer box that is fully recyclable using FSC paper. The release has also been recognized in Spain by ICON as a Nuevo Clásico of the year. If you enjoy modern mineral vetivers and polished woods, think along the lines of the crisp transparency associated with Terre d’Hermès, now reimagined with Narciso’s soft musc signature.
Bottle and Design
The For Him flacon is reinterpreted in a vibrant green glass that reads pure and elemental, preserving the collection’s clean architectural silhouette and graphic geometry. A transparent aqua green presentation finished with a matte cap, which aligns visually with the scent’s mineral woody theme and gives strong shelf presence while remaining minimalist and elegant.
