Vétiver Extraordinaire places at the heart of the composition a high-quality Haitian vetiver essence, in unprecedented quantity. Dominique Ropion draws from it a woody scent that the house presents as the very essence of charm, between classic elegance and modernity.
Bergamot, bitter orange and pink pepper open on a lively, slightly peppery freshness. Vetiver reigns at the heart, surrounded by cashmere wood, cedar and sandalwood, before a base of oakmoss and musk. A green, dry woody scent of great clarity.

Vétiver Extraordinaire in detail
Frédéric Malle publishes its fragrances under the name of their perfumer. Vétiver Extraordinaire, signed by Dominique Ropion, takes Haitian vetiver to its highest degree: a dry, green, distinguished woody fragrance that the house presents among its men's fragrances.
The official pyramid opens on bergamot, bitter orange and pink pepper, a lively, slightly bitter and spicy start. The heart puts vetiver in the foreground, surrounded by cashmere wood, cedarwood and sandalwood. The base brings together oakmoss and musk, a dry, clean foundation.
Vétiver Extraordinaire is worn by day, from spring to autumn: at the office, at the weekend, or every day for those who love crisp woody fragrances. It suits hot days well, when heavier woods become oppressive.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share many of its materials: No. 89 by Floris brings together bergamot, cedarwood, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood and vetiver; Danaë by Argos pairs bergamot, cedarwood, cashmere wood, pink pepper, sandalwood and musk; Bosco by Sospiro finds bergamot, vetiver, cashmere wood, sandalwood and musk again.
