Frederic Malle Editions de Parfums Vetiver Extraordinaire opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange and Cardamom, moves through a heart of Ambrette, Caraway and Cloves, and settles on Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Cedar and Incense. Overall it reads as a woody spicy fragrance.
Expect around 10 hours of wear, with strong sillage and above average projection that settles closer to the skin over time.
Yes — its woody spicy profile suits year-round wear, both daytime and evening depending on the occasion.
Top: Bergamot, Bitter Orange and Cardamom. Heart: Ambrette, Caraway and Cloves. Base: Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Cedar and Incense.
It works as a versatile signature; its strong sillage keeps it appropriate for both casual and dressed settings.
Projection is above average in the opening hours, driven by its Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Cedar and Incense foundation, before it softens to a skin scent.
