Vetiver Coeur

Composing an all-natural fragrance is inherently a bold and adventurous act: without the crutch of commonly-used aromachemicals to smoothe, soften, and standardize a fragrance, the raw materials are experienced without embellishment, and subtle character aspects make a big difference. For April Aromatics' first vetiver scent, Tanja Bochnig had searched for years for a perfectly "soft" specimen of vetiver, one with uniquely soothing qualities that would help avoid the harsh, bitter aspects found in many natural vetiver fragrances. She found it in a magical Haitian vetiver oil produced on a worker-owned community dedicated to ethical, sustainable farming practices, and the result is Vetiver Coeur, a gorgeous and harmonious vetiver scent that builds on its citric and floral aspects to deliver a luxuriously smooth and natural experience.

Vetiver Coeur opens with a vibrantly bright citrus accord led by crisp, tart lemon and juicy mandarin accompanied with the sparkle of pink pepper. A lush floral heart combines romantic rose petals with gently woodsy iris and sumptuous orange blossom, which set an appropriately rich, unisex backdrop for the star of the show- a velvety vetiver that balances spicy, sweet, grassy and floral aspects with effortless sensuality. In India, vetiver is a holy herb said to calm angry hearts and provide spiritual clarity and guidance. One spritz of Vetiver Coeur, and you may well find your own clarity.
