'Above the wild and majestic landscape, the grass ripened in the summer sun whispers softly, hiding a surprise.'
Vetiver Veritas is the first fragrance in James Heeley's new 100% Natural Eau de Parfum Collection. As befits a truly good perfume, it promises an intense and long-lasting sillage, but with the necessary natural grace and individuality. Vetiver Veritas simply stands for good style!
To achieve this, James Heeley has chosen Haitian vetiver of exceptional quality, which forms the heart of this fragrance with a content of over 90%.
Although the vetiver is accompanied by green and citrus notes, it reveals nothing but ‘the naked truth’ of this exquisite and complex fragrance, making it once again absolutely astonishing.
To the delight of perfume connoisseurs, but not necessarily surprising, Haitian vetiver, with its characteristic notes of dry grass and warm earth, is very present from the very first moment. As the perfume develops, notes of fresh mint unfold, giving the whole fragrance liveliness and vitality – but the real surprise is yet to come... Suddenly, out of the blue, a note of fresh grapefruit appears above slightly metallic notes. In this creation, the classic olfactory pyramid is turned on its head – starting with the base notes, these fade quietly beneath the top notes to finally linger in a long-lasting freshness.
Nowadays, creating a distinctive perfume from 100% natural ingredients is a real challenge for any perfumer. Due to ever-increasing regulations, restrictions and costs, the generous use of raw materials has become increasingly difficult for today's perfumery. The Haitian vetiver used here comes from a sustainable, ecological and traceable source that operates in accordance with Fair Trade regulations. Vetiver Veritas contains 100% natural ingredients – even the alcohol, which is derived from rye and lavender.
