Discover Crisp Winter Vetiver Freshness: Armani Privé Vétiver d'Hiver Sample
Surrender to a bright, invigorating woody aromatic coolness with Armani Privé Vétiver d'Hiver Eau de Toilette (also known as Vétiver Babylone), launched in 2008 as part of the Les Eaux collection (masculine, versatile appeal) crafted by master perfumer Alberto Morillas—a refreshing masterpiece inspired by lush gardens thriving amid Russian winters, contrasting zesty citrus explosions with earthy vetiver and parched earth grounding. This award-winning gem (FiFi Award Fragrance Of The Year Men`s Nouveau Niche 2008) opens with a sparkling burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin orange for bright, zesty-citrus freshness with a tangy edge, then unfolds with pink pepper, cardamom, and coriander for an airy, spicy-aromatic heart, anchoring in a luxurious base of vetiver and patchouli for clean, smoky-woody intensity with subtle earthy warmth. It's fresh yet woody-earthy, citrusy yet crisp, nature-inspired yet refined—like sparkling bergamot-lemon-mandarin laced with spicy pink pepper-cardamom over enveloping vetiver-patchouli, evolving into a lingering, skin-hugging coolness in a breezy, wintry atmosphere.
It opens with an electrifying, citrusy rush of bergamot and lemon—a tangy medley that's crisp, awakening, and boldly refreshing with a vibrant edge. The heart unfolds with pink pepper and cardamom, creating a refined, spicy-aromatic accord that's airy, warm, and elegantly balanced. It dries down to a luxurious, lingering trail of vetiver and patchouli—woody, smoky, and subtly green—forming an enduring, skin-hugging aura that's magnetic, fresh, and endlessly captivating.

Frequently hailed as a Morillas classic—citrus-vetiver dominant, fresh-woody iconic, and strikingly crisp—Vétiver d'Hiver is described as blending sparkling citrus opening, spicy pepper-cardamom heart, and vetiver-patchouli base (often praised as the "best natural citrus-vetiver," clean yet layered, with addictive airy subtlety and strong evolution for an EDT). It's a versatile year-round staple (ideal for spring/summer or daytime wear, evoking cool freshness) that draws compliments for its moderate-to-good projection, refined aura, and universal masculine appeal. Performance shines as an EDT: 7-9+ hours longevity (evolves gracefully, noticeable on skin and good on clothes), moderate projection (clean sillage with citrus-woody trail), and reliable staying power—transitioning from zesty-citrus vibrancy to a lingering smoky-vetiver finish. Fragrance lovers praise its high-quality composition, unique citrus-spicy-vetiver fusion, and confident wearability, though some note its soapy or light vetiver—perfect for those seeking fresh yet effortless woody-aromatic scents with wintry crispness.
