Perito Moreno Vetiver Jacmel spotlights five-year aged Haitian vetiver oil blended with white flowers, sandalwood, and light woodsmoke. Crisp citrus brightens the opening before green roots and earthy resins take over on skin. It suits brisk autumn days and quiet evenings when you want a deep, natural woody presence.
