It lives in the roots. The plant grows for a year or more, then the roots are dug up, washed, dried, and steam distilled into a thick, dark oil. That oil is one of the most useful materials a perfumer owns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its own, vetiver reads earthy and rooty, somewhere between fresh soil, dry wood, green stems and woodsmoke. Where it grew changes everything. Haitian vetiver is the smoother, cleaner, almost grapefruit-tinged style. Java vetiver is darker and smokier, closer to roasted nuts and leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfumers lean on it because it does two jobs at once. It carries its own instantly recognizable smell, and it is a workhorse base note that grips the skin for hours and holds lighter notes in place. That is why the same raw material can sit at the cool green top of a fresh summer scent or anchor the smoky bottom of a heavy winter one. It also wears on anyone, which is why it turns up on nearly every shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is built to show that range: five houses, five ideas of what vetiver should be, from the polished classic to the loud and rich, all read on your own skin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atelier Elemental","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182714695901,"sku":"FLIGHT-VETIVER","price":57.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3743\/6637\/files\/vetiver-discovery-set-card.png?v=1784847306"},{"product_id":"tobacco-discovery-set-5-x-2ml","title":"TOBACCO DISCOVERY SET (5 x 2ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne leaf, five readings.

It comes from tobacco leaves that have been dried and cured, the same slow process behind pipe and cigar tobacco, then extracted into a rich brown absolute. Cured tobacco barely smells of smoke at all. It smells sweet, warm and dry, closer to hay, honey, dried fruit and cocoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat built-in sweetness is why tobacco pairs so easily with vanilla, tonka, honey, dried fruit and warm spice. Cured leaf shares much of its character with fresh cut hay, so most tobacco accords are built around that hay and honey warmth rather than anything ashy. The result is cozy, plush and made for cold weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause real tobacco absolute is costly and restricted in how much can be used, perfumers often reconstruct the effect, layering hay, dried fruit, spice and sweet resins to recreate the smell of a freshly opened tin of pipe tobacco. Done well, it is one of the most comforting notes in perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set walks tobacco from one end to the other, from a cozy tobacco vanilla to an incense-laced luxury, so you can find the weight and sweetness that suits you before committing to a full size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atelier Elemental","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48236058149085,"sku":"FLIGHT-TOBACCO","price":66.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3743\/6637\/files\/tobacco-discovery-set-card.png?v=1784858577"}],"url":"https:\/\/atelierelemental.ca\/collections\/discovery-sets.oembed","provider":"Atelier Elemental","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
