Bois De Vetiver

Bois de Vetiver, a Fresh Woody Vetiver

Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Vetiver is a fresh woody vetiver scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with blood orange, mint, and pink grapefruit before an earthy vetiver, rose, and geranium heart settles over patchouli, musk, and ambroxan.

The Story Behind the Scent

Karl Lagerfeld built Bois de Vetiver as a clean, modern take on vetiver, all bright citrus and green earth. The idea was fresh, understated elegance.

That fresh smoothness is its appeal. The blood orange and mint keep it zesty, the vetiver and geranium give it a green earthiness, and the patchouli and musk keep it smooth. Our interpretation follows that same clean path.
