Perfumer’s Inspiration:
“With Lucien Acquarone, my companion from the maquis and the bush, a wizard distiller who could draw the best from perfume plants, we often stopped in La Réunion on the way to or from Madagascar. There, we bought essential oils of vetiver Bourbon and often, at the break of dawn, we went to see its exhausting harvest on the island’s plantations. This impressively robust grass, capable of resisting cyclones, provides protection against soil erosion and its crops consolidate fragile economies. This gave us the idea of growing vetiver in Madagascar from parent-roots brought over from La Réunion. The venture made us realise how hard it was to grow the crop. It also inspired me to work on all the facets and contrasts of vetiver Bourbon. Its rawness as well as its sophistication" (Marc-Antoine Corticchiato)
