To Vetiver
Inspired by Christian Astuguevieille’s eternal adoration of vetiver and composed by Antoine Maisondieu and his blessed nose, the hope for TO VETIVER is for lyrical experience of emotion, a happenstance of love and creation, for the ages
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close, attentive spaces where its peppery opening and resinous drydown can be noticed without shouting. It suits a wearer who likes their presence to feel composed, a little enigmatic, and more textured than loud.
How to wear
Best worn in cool to mild weather, where the pepper, myrrh and vetiver can unfold without becoming heavy. Two to three sprays are enough; on skin it reads dry and woody, while in the air it leaves a restrained, spicy trail that feels most natural at moderate distance.
Who it’s for
For vetiver lovers who prefer their woods dry, spicy and slightly resinous rather than clean or citrus-led. It will appeal to people drawn to conceptual, ingredient-focused fragrances with a modern, understated edge.
Release year
2026
The nose
Antoine Maisondieu is a French perfumer known for polished, modern compositions that balance structure with texture. His work often moves between clarity and depth, giving materials like woods, resins and spices a clean but expressive frame. For To Vetiver, he shapes vetiver as a conceptual centerpiece rather than a simple earthy accord, letting black pepper and myrrh sharpen its contours and give the fragrance a more reflective, almost poetic tension.
Collaborators
Christian Astuguevieille shaped the fragrance’s conceptual brief, framing it as an ode to his long devotion to vetiver and giving the perfume its poetic, idea-led direction.
Comme Des Garcons’s story
Comme des Garçons Parfums treats fragrance as an artistic medium rather than a conventional luxury accessory. The house is known for abstract structures, unexpected materials and scents that feel conceptual, slightly disruptive and intellectually charged.
To Vetiver’s concept
To Vetiver was presented as a lyrical tribute to vetiver, inspired by Christian Astuguevieille’s enduring fascination with the note. The launch framing emphasizes emotion, chance and creation, positioning the fragrance as a poetic meditation on a single material rather than a straightforward vetiver study.
Extra info
To Vetiver was launched in 2026 and presented in Venice before wider retail availability. The name signals vetiver at the center, but the composition is built as a spicy woody structure rather than a simple soliflore.
