Vetiver Extraordinaire

It’s that artisanal autumn arrival of an array of foliage colours time of year in the Colorado Rockies, so I wore Frederic Malle’s Vetiver Extraordinaire on one wrist and Hermes’ Bel Ami Vetiver on the other before getting in the car. By the third mile, the kids were begging for gas masks, my husband said the car smelled like “leather-wrapped compost,” and I just nodded because that’s exactly the vibe I was going for. I’m fifty years old now, and I’ve been through enough scents, colognes, and perfumes to know that what clings to my skin can sometimes say more than what comes out of my mouth. When I wear Extraordinaire, I feel like I’m putting on a sharply cut suit with no tie because it smells crisp, disciplined, and a touch intellectual. It’s vetiver in its purest, most surgical form being green, rooty, and a little earthy, but also polished into something modern and refined. It’s the kind of fragrance that makes me think about clarity; about clearing the noise; about focusing in on what really matters like suffocating my family in an enclosed space. Almost feels like a meditation in scent form. By contrast, Bel Ami Vetiver is an older man’s smile that’s warm, worn-in, and charmingly rough around the edges. It’s leather and spice and all that is nice wrapped around vetiver, less strict, and more fatherly forgiving. When I spray it on my wrist this morning, I’m reminded of patriarchal evenings with a glass of cognac, an old leather chair that’s cracked in the right places, and a conversation that runs late into the dead of night. It doesn’t cut through the air like Malle’s does; instead, it sits closer and more tactile, like a handshake from a man who’s lived a little but still has fire in him. The similarities? Both live in a vetiver’s world because I’m a material girl, but they approach it differently. Malle’s is the disciplined architect and Bel Ami Vetiver the seasoned raconteur. On my skin, they both remind me that I’m now fifty. That I’ve outgrown the sweet and flashy scents of youth because some boys romance, some boys slow dance, and that's all right with me. Yet they reflect two sides of who I am now with one part craving structure and refinement, another part content with the patina of experience because some boys try and some boys lie, but I don't let them play (NO WAY). Only boys that save their pennies can make my rainy autumn day. By contrast, Bel Ami Vetiver is an older man’s smile that’s warm, worn-in, charmingly rough around the edges.

There are two accords that I have uncontrollable weaknesses for: leather and vetiver. It might have been a foregone conclusion that I was going to really like Vetiver Extraordinaire, particularly since it's a Malle perfume composed by Dominique Ropion. I am happy to confirm that conclusion, yet also say I am pleasantly surprised. Vetiver Extraordinaire is not quite what I expected. Vetiver is a shape shifter. Depending upon the species, terroir, and extraction method, you can get numerous different characteristics out of vetiver - some very pleasant, some quite challenging - from hyper green, aromatic, salty and sweaty qualities to fetid and swampy to smoky, woody, and incense-like, and combinations thereof. Malle and Ropion bring all of vetiver's characteristics out front-and-center in Vetiver Extraordinaire, with the help of some other materials. The top of the fragrance is a burst of bitter bergamot and oranges, and pepper. Vetiver is also present in the top as well, and what the fruits and pepper call forward is vetiver's spicy, fruity, green, bitter, and semi-sweaty note. What's notable about this is a lack of piquancy typically associated with these notes, that nose-tingling feeling that is common with the bitter citrus, pepper, and hyper green vetiver. The surprise I mentioned at the beginning is this smoothness, and also quite a welcome change. These rather challenging characteristics of vetiver are not muted or held back, just kept in-check and made to behave. Once the top notes dry down, the green aromatic vetiver continues but is given a heaping dose of cashmeran - and a high quality cashmeran to boot. Presenting types of milky sandalwood and fresh cedar notes with the green aromatic quality of the vetiver sitting over top of them, the cashmeran also has this effect of superbly texturizing the greenness and woodiness to a silky/velvety smoothness. The heart of this perfume is so good. Not only is one side of vetiver's character present - the green, aromatic, and salty side - but with the addition of cashmeran its woody side is brought forward as well while keeping to the mandate of good behavior. The brand uses words like elegant and sophisticated and playful to describe Vetiver Extraordinaire, and that is completely correct. While somehow being quite complex and of very high quality, it also manages a sort of lightness of being and an unrefined childlike energy that puts a big grin on my face. The final and very pleasant surprise comes with the last dry down, which, fortunately, unlike most modern vetivers, doesn't descend into a heaping messy pile of rough-cut jagged woods. Instead, the lightness of being becomes lighter still, and a mossy note and musk accord nestle themselves on your skin. This is a most excellent vetiver, one of the best I have ever smelled (I have to say that quietly because my vintage bottle of Guerlain EdC is within earshot). Malle and Ropion have taken this most humble and ubiquitous of grasses, a staple for thousands of years across the tropics, cleaned it up and dressed it up without dampening its energetic side. Superb.

The name for Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire is no hyperbole - this is an extraordinary and unique vetiver, and I have tried a LOT of vetivers. Much has been written about how much vetiver there is in this (taken from the official Malle notes, which emphasize the point), but this is misleading. I love vetiver and have several different essential oils from various locations (they are fairly different from each other). Yes, there is a lot of vetiver in Vetiver Extraordinaire, but it is either an artfully blended vetiver or Ropion got his hands on a vetiver oil unlike any I have smelled. The top and middle have a good dose of dark bitter orange peel and plenty of pink pepper and I suspect something else that I can't figure out, maybe it is the clove but it is so blended I can't pick it out. I wonder if there isn't a big dose of Safraleine in there (warm leather saffron tobacco sweet woody). The blended effect is hard to describe because it is so distinctive and unique - this is unlike any other vetiver perfume I have smelled (note added later - Terre d'Hermes is somewhat similar). Spicy, earthy, warm, leathery, dark green, with the grassy-rooty-smoky notes of most vetivers muted. The scent changes relatively little and only very slowly with time, getting more wood and myrrh notes in the base. Regardless of the analysis, Vetiver Extraordinaire is indeed a sublime take on this classic essential oil. I am leery of perfumes at this price point, suspecting the price to have more with making them "exclusive" than with their quality (in most cases I think this cynical view is correct - these are called Veblen good in economics). But VE is an exception - it is indeed extraordinary and I suppose you have to expect to pay for that.

Tried Sycomore, tried Encre Noire, tried Guerlain's Vetiver, tried Creed's, tried Hermes Vetiver Tonka... But VE is the best! Guerlain is too soapy fresh, with an old man's feel. Creed is less soapy but has a similar vibe; an innocent vetiver. Herme's is sickly sweet. Hazelnut mixed with vetiver. Imagine dropping the vetiver into a saucepan of syrup and trying ever so hard to separate the two. Sycomore and Encre are similar. But with Encre being darker and bitter, picture Spiderman putting on the Venom suit, corrupted, evil, put still somewhat cool. Both are vetivers dominated by warm woody notes. Imagine the vetiver root pulled out of a forest with the wind catching the smell of a tree truck. Very rustic. Malle's VE doesn't rely on the roots of the vetiver to maintain its masculine edge, but rather the fresh citrus blended with the sharpest green vetiver I have ever come across. As sharp as a razor blade I would say. The ozone notes lightens the scent but also tingles your senses every time VE catches a whiff of the air; sharp green vetiver attacks your senses reminding you of the incisiveness of this vetiver, just when you thought it is gone. A great juxtaposition between lightness (ozone note) and incisiveness without relying on heavy woods (rustic) to depict manliness. Perfect for a classy gentlemen with a mean streak. The greenish, airiness, sharpness, and mossiness of VE makes this one a very unique take on vetiver I must say. Yes, it is more linear than the Sycomores or Encre Noires... But only because it is the purest take on the vetiver note that I have so far come across. Great for Spring and Summer for me! Perfect! Too bad vetiver fragrances in general have only average longevity, 6 to 10 (pushing it) hours

Okay just hear me out, I live in Malaysia, oil palm trees are something quite common here, a big industry here. Second biggest producer after Indonesia, our big neighbour. I work in this industry for several years now. Did you know that oil palm produce both male and female inflorescences? yesss. The male produced pollen while the female will developed into fruit bunches after cross pollination happened. The male inflorescences at some time in its life cycle will matured up and begin an anthesis stage. In which during this time it released pollen, the flower will turn golden yellow and it produced a really really nice scent. Cant describe the smell but it is really nice. when you walk in the field you can detect the smell whenever it is close by. So I always wonder, if only there is a fragrance that smell like this. A vetiver lover myself, I owned Nishane Sultan Vetiver, Roja Vetiver Parfum Cologne, Encre Noir and some others, constantly trying out vetiver centric scent out there. Until this one pop up in one of my favourite youtube fragrance reviewer, took the liberty of buying a tester vial for this. It is not cheap, blind buy would be a risky thing. Had to test before pulling any trigger Tested it and boom! this smell exactly like the oil palm male inflorescences!! finally there is one fragrance that smell like it! this is unique, i guess it came from this beautiful blend between cloves and vetiver. Dominique Ropion is a genius! this is a masterpiece, this is art. This is what I am looking for. A fragrance that smell like oil palm male flowers. I loved it. Gonna get this one day soon.

I bought some samples on a whim, among them Sultan Vetiver. WOW. what a bomb, I get how many describe it as the pinnacle of vetiver scents. But in the end, it's just to heavy for me, i'm no suit bearing CEO. Since, I've been searching for my perfect vetiver scent a while, determined to find it. I started of with testing some other classics, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, -great stuff! But to soapy and light for what I want in a vetiver. I tried Terre d'Hermes, and it's vetiver flanker. Very good, darker, but not to dark. For me, it went to focused on woods in the dry down, and the longevity was a bit worse than the (very good) longevity on TF GV. I did my research, understanding that Sultan Vetiver lives on the far end of on the spectrum, ditry, big, overly masculine and authorative to the max. Grey vetiver sits on the other side, light, fizzy and soapy. I order i big bunch of vetiver samples, only to get lost in the mail (bye bye money..) and got myself to the store and tested it on my skin. Yes, here it is. 100%. sits perfectly in the middle. It's clean, it's dark, it's citruses flair up to the surface sometimes, the vetiver is rooted. just between ditry and clean. Manly, but not authorative, clean but not soapy. Just beautiful. Everything i wanted in my ONE dedicated vetiver. 8 hours after application i can still easily get a good dose to my nose. Longevity is good, not amazing, but well good enough. It won't fill the room lie SV, in a good way, but it's there if you get within speaking radius. I truly love this.

This fragrance is heavenly! The lady in the Frederic Malle boutique told me that the vetiver used in this perfume is harvested from the base of a volcanic mountain. That is what gives the vetiver in this fragrance this beautiful slight ashy-ness . It is fresh and beautiful but also has that ashy scent and an earthiness to the vetiver which makes this fragrance so irresistible. (And suitable for almost all seasons in my opinion. Maybe in the dead cold winter you would need you apply a little heavier to cozy up a little more) This is a perfectly blended masterpiece from a master! The dominant note is vetiver but you get non heavy citruses (to me more bitter orange than bergamot) and the subtle spiciness (from the pink pepper and cloves) with the gorgeous support from the base of woods and musk. This scent leans masculine but is not unapologetically so. It is what I would call a very classy fragrance. 10/10 for me I must get myself a full size 100 ml bottle

The opening is bright for a moment, but the shine fades quickly into a cool, metallic cleanliness that feels closer to a stack of fresh printer paper than to a classical cologne. A thin chemical sharpness hovers above the citrus, and the heart becomes smooth in a way that recalls copy-room toner warmed by a machine—an ink-like impression created by white musks, ionones, and synthetic woods all pulling in the same direction. As it settles, the scent becomes even more linear, losing brightness and drifting into a faint paper-musk haze. There is no moss, no spice, no herbal structure to deepen it, leaving a shallow trail that ends almost as quickly as it begins. The result is cool, modern, and sterile, a clean sheet of paper rather than an architectural cologne of the old world. A polished composition, but unmistakably modern: pale, musky, and quietly ink-toned.

You can blindly guess since the beginning that a perfumer is someone like mr Ropion. Even so it’s a simple composition it’s done to perfection with the best ingredients possible. Much better end result than other natural smelling perfumes like Bortnikoffs etc and in composition like this you can clearly see that skills, studying and years of experience makes the difference those guys will never reach. But this has also downsides and the biggest one is that is weak and more of a personal scent. You can also say that’s boring composition, it doesn’t bring excitement when you wear. You wear this type of scents when you are on certain mood but when you do the magic happens. Overall for me personally is the best Vetiver perfume next to Sultan Vetiver but one is more clean and classy and the other dirty and edgy

Even with price accounted for this is a love for me, though bordering on like. What can I say, the name says it all, it's Vetiver, and it's Extraordinary! ;o) To me it's very Vetiver dominant, I don't really get a whole lot of sense of citrus etc that others pick up on and that's part of the product. It has an incredibly clean scent in my opinion. This isn't what you wear to really stand out, it's what you wear in the spring/summer/maybe a little fall too, to smell nice. Not sexy, not crazy stand out, but just very very fresh and nice. Projection is pretty solid, and longevity is decent too. Not great, but good. I typically use it for just going about my summer day, maybe give a dab or two if going to the gym. Overall, it's extremely well crafted, it does its job, suits its purpose.

First impression reminded me of Aesop Tacit!!!!! Beautiful vetiver combined with cloves and fruity scents (In this one: Bergamot and bitter orange ; In Aesop Tacit: Yuzu). I think the slight differences come from the more woody notes in the Vetiver extraordinaire, including a tinge of sandalwood and cedar. Both are amazing and super nonoffensive fragrances suitable for every season. (I just tried this one and FM Synthetic jungle. I like this one a lot more while I strongly dislike Synthetic jungle.) * Longevity seems to be moderate on my skin (6-8 hrs), but the projection is mediocre, becoming close to skin in a few hours. Overall I like this fragrance, but at the moment I won’t buy it.

The best feeling i can enjoy is wearing this perfume again after long time. It have just a little similarity with "legendary" Guerlain Vetiver which i respect but FM play a couple of leagues above. Somehow serious and masculine but same time so comfortable and soft. Clean, aromatic, spicy, woody and resinous, the main note of vetiver is bringed to the finest line of perfection, while base is build from the cashmeran and white musk cocktail. Probably fits better "older" gentlemans, but that doesn't mean smell mature or dated. Market just need more fragrances like this!

Well, this is the apotheosis of the "masculine vetiver fragrance" concept! A SUBLIME composition that immediately jumps at the top of its genre together with other masterpieces such as Sycomore, Route Du Vetiver and the Givenchy's. Vetiver Extraordinaire is a stark and edgy composition where the usual bergamot/citrus opening is dried to the bone by sharp woody notes and a massive dose of dry vetiver. Add a nice (and slight) quasi-soapy twist and here's a masterpiece. Good sillage and excellent lasting power. One of my favourites. Rating: 9.5/10

Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire (2002) - vetiver clove - This perfume was recommended by the Frederic Malle website when I took their personality test that I would enjoy this #dominiqueropion perfume - and guess they were right. Perfume starts with a combination of Bitter Orange, Bergamot, and Pink pepper, but that is short-lived as Vetiver takes over. Smokey, Earthy, yet Crisp. The addition of Clove makes it resemble spicy mint. Woody-Mossy base is expertly constructed balancing Cedar, Musk, Oakmoss and Sandalwood. Extremely versatile.

As a vetiver fan I would say this is the best vetiver perfumes that I have ever used. In terms of longetivity and sillage is way better than other vetiver perfumes currently in the market. First I thought may be there's nothing extraordinary in this perfume but when I sniffed for the first time in mall I was blown out by the smell then I realized that the name really suits it. If you're a vetiver lover there's no choice that you may dislike this perfume. I would highly recommend this perfume for vetiver lovers. Its classy and sophisticated.

One of my favourite from the house. Clean, pure, minimal, reserved, French. I love vetiver fragrances and this one so me has an aura of quiet sophistication. The vetiver to my nose moves in ever so slightly minty and musky direction which gives it a freshness I love. It sits close to the skin which for this perfume makes it all the better as it enhances its quiet class. This is something I would love to use as a daily wear if funds allowed but for the time being I reserve it for daytime wears when I need that dose of French refinement.

Smells great. Manly. Luxurious. Almost like a gentleman's version of Sauvage because of the peppery mix with freshness. Earthy and smoky and fresh. When it comes to performance, I think some people here became anosmic. This one lasts way over 12 hours. I have a recent batch. It doesn't radiate like old batches of Interlude but it does last very long. You have to try it before you buy it. It contains a musky note, maybe from the cumin. Pricing? Yeah, too much. But if you can afford it and you like it, go for it. It works everywhere.

Masterpiece! This is the fragrance i wear for myself, as its very quiet, but keeps a nice scent bubble for the whole day. Opening is very addictive with a blast of pink/black pepper, and a bitter citrus oils. Then it quickly transforms to a minty (Could this be geranium?), clean and soapy vetiver. Vetiver here is photorealistic, earthy, green. I would wear it everyday, but i can imagine a young professional (in his 30s), suited up, wearing this to the office/meeting. I also get melancholic vibes from it, ideal for Autumn.

#233 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is my first Fredric Malle scent, a sample from Microperfumes. I love this scent. I hate this price. Wonderful opening. The dry down is nice. It has the sillage and longevity I expect from an EDP. And gotta say, I love moss notes and they do it right with this one. I have Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver on my shelf already, so this is not a buy for me in the immediate future. I haven't tried the Guerlain Vetiver, so I'll probably give that a shot before buying this as this one is pricy.

I have two Vetivers I own, this one and Vetiver Orientale by Serge Lutens because they’re so different and show off its versatility. This one is quite green and fresh. I agree that it’s a bit linear but the top notes of bergamot/Orange/pepper stay for the entire ride, and with an earthy, licorice-y Vetiver almost like patchouli, I don’t ever get bored with it. The myrrh/sandalwood just barely peek out as a lattice on which the Vetiver hangs, and if there’s musk it’s not apparent on me, fortunately.

I had a sample of *Vetiver Extraordinaire* and eventually realized that it’s one of my favorite fragrances of all time. So I spent my hard-earned money on a full bottle. I’ve spent the entire evening trying to figure out whether it might be fake, because it’s unbelievably weak. You can barely smell it unless your nose is right up against your skin, and even then only for a very short time. “Unfortunately,” it turns out to be completely authentic. It’s truly disappointing. Such a shame.

This leans masculine for sure but I actually love it on me! I get a wash of pink pepper on the first spray and I think that layered it would be even more beautiful if you want to femme it up. It’s definitely one of the best straight up vetiver scents I have ever smelled (EVER) - I'm trying to think of a good enough comparison but it just screams calm, confidence. Like a jazz bar newly constructed with fresh wood.

Vetiver Extraordinaire was laying all lonely in my closet, waiting for me to mature a little bit to learn to appreciate the smell, which I previously did not like at all. I thought it was tacky, aggressive and too green. But it did not occur to me at all that I should try it in different weather. And, guess what? It's beauuutifuuul in cold weather, it is comforting and pretty. I really came to love this one!

To date the "fullest" vetiver experience that I ever had. Tried everything. Sycomore's smells like a dental office. Guerlain's nowadays doesn't have the "kick". Roja's is too sweet. Nishane's smells like an aggressive grandpa. Creed's is a cologne disguised as a vetiver. This is vetiver masterclass.. best of both worlds of the vetiver note; both vibrant fresh & earthy at the same time.

I have a small 10ml bottle from 2013, it's really nuclear, it lasts more than 24 hours on my skin and projects very strongly for several hours, it's just incredible for a vetiver perfume. Does anyone know if the current formulation is effective or not? I plan to get a 100ml one. Mr. Ropion had chosen the right name, everything is extraordinary in this vetiver masterpiece

This is the best vetiver perfume i have ever tried . Compared to the Creed original vetiver and also Roja vetiver pour homme, i must say that it's better than both . Vetiver and woody notes are dominant . There is a smell of wet woods and bergamot in the opening which i love it . It reminds me part of my good memories . Longevity is good . Be sure to try it .

The bitter orange note in Vetiver Extraordinaire really elevates this over other vetiver fragrances I've tried. It brings a freshness to vetiver that I never got from Grey Vetiver, without the dustiness of Terre d'Hermes or the soapiness of Guerlain Vetiver. And the citrus isn't as sharp as Mancera Vetiver Sensuel or Montale Red Vetiver.

Gorgeous masculine scent by the king of perfumery. Not much to add that hasn ́t already been mentioned, but definitely the words "classy", "clean", "smoky", "dry" and "minty" come to mind when trying to describe this gem. Lasts quite a while on skin while the sillage stays quite moderate throughout the ride. Well done Mr. Ropion.

The most beautiful vetiver I have ever smelled. So natural / sparkly, and the earthy notes in this really conjures up memories for some reason. I feel like a child again in the terrarium room at the museum in Jurassic Park or something lol This scent is awesome! This actually might be my favorite fragrance of all time.

Today is the day when i wearing this masterpiece again after long time, apart that i have deep emotional conection with this fragrance, today im so happy, cuz i wearing my favourite vetiver again. Soooo relaxing it's an real Olfactory receptor caress therapy and i enjoy again on higest lvl. Pure class, no words needed.

A good clean, crisp blend of vetiver mixed with sandalwood, orange, and musk, it's a perfect match for rainy days. The blend is professional and spot on and fans of vetiver will love this. Does it warrant such a high price tag though, especially when vetiver grass is such a low cost?

One of the best vetiver based fragrances I ever smelled. It's a lovely green, subtile but rich smelling fragrance. It's so perfectly blended that I am not getting any individual notes, it seems to become more balsamic and sweet woody (probably the sandalwood) towards the dry down.

FM and Dominique Ropion just keep on surprising me with their creations, they are all so incredibly simple yet inventive with surprising depth I rarely find in other creations. Vetiver extraordinaire is subtle yet addictive from the first spray, possibly my favourite vetiver.

Beautiful, high-quality Vetiver fragrance. So pleasant and fresh but not sharp or screechy. Leaning masculine, I don't think I could handle this on me. Would love to smell this on men!! Project and sillage is not very nice, close to skin. But the longevity is very good!

Lovely. Rounder and smoother than Guerlain Vetiver Parfum (I don't mean it is better; they are just different). It is like it is with a veil. The dryness or herbal feeling is pinky in a sense ; but it is too timid, too weak; not long-lasting also. What a pity.

I have to say I’m a bit disappointed ! It’s lovely but I feel the projection is not great. I prefer TF Grey vetiver as it’s cleaner stronger maybe not as complex. I wouldn’t buy this again. I love DR for FM but not this one ! Sorry

earthy and warm. Slight bit of citus and cumin in the opening comes thru, when the vetiver evolves it reminds me of fresh cut hay in a field that sat in a pile overnight. Wonderful. Can be worn any season day or night

very cool great one. after a while it does get a super expensive shaving cream vibe which you either like or dont. i like it. earthy vetiver has something in common with guerlain vetiver but cant describe what that is

Green, peppery vetiver. A clean, light vetiver masterpiece. This suits the office, casual day wear during the warmer months or while you are relaxing at home. Highly recommended if you are a fan of vetiver.

A wonderful Vetiver, that has single handedly garnered me more compliments than any other in my collection. I have the old 88% version, not sure what the 79% or latest version is like.

It wasn't love to me before and I just liked it but few days ago I smelled this on a chic man and I did love it. It is super class, charismatic fragrance. Full bottle worthy.

My bottle is from around 2005. It's dry, herbal, natural, alive, it's fresh air after it has blown through a forest. It's calming. It's expensive, but it's quite incredible.

How can one compare this masterpiece of nuance and understated sophistication to lunar vetiver (that i also own) is beyond me, this is masculine elegance in a bottle.

One of my top vetivers. BIG TIME positive feedback from the ladies (my mom) One of the few $300 fragrances i have that are worth it. sexy time 10/10 always hittin

It's pleasant. Perhaps more to "unisex". May not be very obviously vetiver-ish. Too soapy to the extent that even reminds me of Amouage Lyric Man!

Grounded, calming, and composed. For an exceptional and natural smelling vetiver that is truly effortless, this is it. Soul-cleansing stuff.

Smells lovely, clean, and sensual. I really like Frederic Malle as a whole, however, I don't like how they use BHT in every single perfume.

honestly the best you can get with vetiver fragrances, not that i have tried THAT many but then again..i think i found the one :)

Çok yumuşak, köşeleri olmayan güzel bir vetiver kullanımı. Performansı zayıf olsa da koku güzelliği olarak ön plana çıkıyor.

A great scent but as has been said before, needs to be twice the concentration for the price.
