Bourjois released Masculin 2 Vetyver in 1985, created by perfumer François Demachy. It opens with sharp grapefruit, bitter bergamot, and sour citruses before settling into a dry heart of vetiver, geranium, and herbal notes. As the scent dries down, oakmoss, dark patchouli, and earthy musk take over with a tiny trace of honey. It feels clean, soapy, and distinctly retro, making it ideal for spring mornings or crisp autumn days when you want a classic green profile without modern sweetness.

This is one of the more wearable Zoologist scents, but the barbershop edge.
