Korean Perfumery: How K-Beauty Came to Fragrances
At first, the world fell in love with Korean creams and sheet masks. Then it was the turn of scent, ...
The world first encountered Vétiver Extraordinaire 20 Ans by Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle in 2020. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the east and wood families. Perfumers Dominique Ropion and Frédéric Malle joined forces to create something truly special. A fragrance from the 20 Ans collection, in eau de parfum.
Brand country — France, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Vétiver Extraordinaire 20 Ans unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The signature of Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle comes through from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Spicy, Musk and Wood. The framework further includes Earthy / Mossy and Gourmet. At family level the scent maps to East and Wood.
In the top tier you meet radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Bergamot, Bitter Orange and Pink pepper.
When the opening settles you meet Cashmeran, Cedar, Sandalwood and Vetiver holding a structural woody direction.
The accord profile is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Musc, Wood and Spicy without random overlap. The gender direction is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Vétiver Extraordinaire 20 Ans sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
