Initially used in fragrances for women and, with time, in fragrances for men, the unrefined, rough, earthy scent of vetiver appealed to me. I had to appropriate and reinvent it. I wanted a tender, enveloping, warm vetiver. What it needed was Tonka bean! With its caramel, praline and blonde tobacco notes, Tonka bean draped vetiver in softness and gave its woody notes a mellow roundness, Jean-Claude Ellena, perfumer.
