Vetiver

Vetiver by Carven opens with bright citrus—mandarin and lemon striking first, tempered by lavender's herbal cool and petitgrain's green snap. The heart blooms into a lush, slightly spiced warmth: carnation's clove-tinged sweetness winds around vetiver's earthy root-grass character, while sandalwood and jasmine soften the edges with creamy, almost powdery depth. As it settles, oakmoss grounds everything in a mossy, slightly bitter green, amber adding honeyed glow, and musk wrapping the whole thing in a skin-close finish touched by myrrh's resinous whisper. Elegant and grounded, neither brash nor timid.
