About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Vetiver Extreme opens with a bracing quartet of tarragon, artemisia, lemon, and bergamot, sharpened by a surprising twist of licorice. This aromatic overture is green and herbal, with a citrus edge that cuts through the bitterness of the artemisia. As it settles, the heart reveals incense, pepper, and nutmeg, adding a smoky, spicy depth that bridges the fresh top and the earthy base. The drydown is a classic vetiver affair: vetiver root, cedar, and tonka bean create a woody, slightly sweet foundation that lingers for hours.
This is a vetiver for those who find the original too polite. The added spice and incense give it a darker, more assertive character, while the licorice note adds an unexpected gourmand touch. It suits a confident wearer who appreciates a fragrance that evolves from crisp and herbal to warm and smoky. Ideal for cooler weather and evening wear, though it can be worn year-round by those who love vetiver. Collectors of Guerlain's masculine line will find this a worthy, if short-lived, addition.

Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
