Le Vetiver by Lubin c2007

Le Vetiver by Lubin: launched in 2007 and created by perfumer Lucien Ferrero.

From Lubin:

"Le Vetiver by Lubin was inspired by an unusually snowy evening in Paris at the apse of Notre Dame. The cold inspired this "winter vetiver", which sparked a desire for crackling fires, recalling the frankincense that burned in Medieval cathedrals, where people came in winter to warm up. For children unfamiliar with its meaning, the word "vetiver" became a legendary character invented for the time. They were told that "Le Vetiver" is a Celtic spirit who lives in the deep forests of Armorica. 

It is as mysterious as Dionysus, savage and refined at the same time. This spirit is a magician who brings life back into nature every spring with a single breath after the harshness of winter. This untamed man radiates true sensuality."
