Launched in 2020 and created by Sidonie Lancesseur, VETIVER SANTAL by Marie Jeanne offers a refined take on woody perfumery through a lens that feels fresh, aromatic and beautifully controlled. Its composition moves naturally between radiant citrus notes, the earthy nobility of vetiver and the smooth embrace of sandalwood, resulting in a scent that feels balanced, understated and deeply elegant for those who value finely composed raw materials.
The opening is vivid and polished, blending lemon, Paraguayan petitgrain and Sicilian bergamot. Together, these notes create a bright, clean impression with a subtle green edge, like a crisp breath of light before the fragrance settles into something more textured. Rather than serving as a fleeting burst of freshness, the top notes establish the tone and precision of the fragrance from the very beginning.
At the heart, Haitian vetiver takes center stage with its dry, sophisticated and nuanced character. Sandalwood softens the composition with a creamy, tranquil layer, while cypress adds an aromatic line that gives the structure lift and definition. The result is a contemporary portrait of vetiver: clear yet expressive, restrained yet rich in detail.
The base of Siam benzoin and Indonesian patchouli leaf introduces a measured warmth and elegant depth. Benzoin contributes a smooth balsamic facet, while patchouli leaf reinforces the earthy, vegetal dimension of the scent without clouding its transparency. This allows VETIVER SANTAL to preserve its attractive balance of freshness, structure and woody comfort all the way through.
A 100 ml Eau de Parfum for all genders, VETIVER SANTAL expresses vetiver in a polished, modern and serene way, wrapped in a distinguished citrus, aromatic and woody harmony.
