    Real talk

    Vetiver is one of perfumery's most misunderstood notes. Too often it plays a supporting role, the earthiness that grounds a floral or a tobacco blend. Vetiver puts the material front and center.Vetiver
    Powdery-green, built around linden blossom, a note most perfumers still avoid. The drydown leans into oakmoss and musk, warm and close to the skin. This is refined without being loud.Racquets Formula
