A BOLD AND COLOURFUL REINTERPRETATION OF VETIVER
With the Eau de Parfum Vétiver Fauve, the vetiver root reveals an unexpected freshness. An invitation into the heart of a lush jungle inspired by the world of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book.
Evoking a wild world in which nature reigns supreme: the awakening of a jungle at early morning, untameable, teeming with sounds, colours and captivating scents…
An appeal to the senses in which the perfume extends the noises of this mysterious night. To the richness of the sounds and images conjured up by the writer’s words echoes the wealth of notes and sensations composed by the perfumer.

THE FRAGRANCE ARTIST’S TOUCH
For Vétiver Fauve, Delphine Jelk has chosen to reinvent this traditionally dark and mysterious ingredient, bringing it back to its origins. She tames the untameable. Although dry, the root is here tinged with a luxuriant freshness. On contact with a fruity tropical green accord, it awakens with a vibrant botanical vivacity. An elegant depth that evokes the magic of a wild animal prowling at dawn in a jungle coming to life.
”If Vétiver Fauve were a work of art, it would be Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book.”

THE AWAKENING OF A JUNGLE AT EARLY MORNING
From the moment the composition spreads, the smell of dew blends with the rustling of leaves with a fruity tropical green accord. Then, the air gets warmer, the fragrances and flavours intertwine revealing the scents of ripe fruit, perceived in the perfume through fig accord. Juicy with a slight sweetness, they bring a comfortable roundness to the vetiver essence. Its woody nuances are prolonged in the sillage by a vibrant tonka bean and cypriol duo.
