V for Vetiver

Known for its rich aromatics, the Vardhana dynasty's capital city Kannauj became the center of 7th century trade. Success was not lost on the emperor, Harshavardhana, who imposed a Vetiver Tax. While many remained silent, a band of fragrance masters believed the new tax would be used to fund violence against innocent people and staged a rebellion. Under the cover of night, these rebels covered the city with aromatic oils. Subdued by the fragrant forces of Kannauj, the tax was abolished.

A complex and unique vetiver fragrance that combines woody and earthy elements with unexpected sweet and floral notes. Opens with grape and black cherry, transitions through a heart of cinnamon, clove, incense, cocoa, rose, and carnation, before settling on a base of cedarwood, oakwood, vanilla, birch, and vetiver.
