Frederic Malle Vetiver Extraordinaire is a dry woody Eau de Parfum where bergamot, bitter orange and pink pepper brighten an intense vetiver core. Cashmeran, cedar and sandalwood broaden the woods before oakmoss and musk settle underneath, giving Dominique Ropion's composition an earthy green freshness with a refined textured finish.
