SOTD: Guerlain Vetiver Parfum

Good Sunday morning, fragrance family ☀️❄️

I was up bright and early on this cold Chicago morning, shovel in hand, pushing snow before the city even fully woke up. Winter is definitely reminding us who’s in charge right now, but there’s something grounding about earning the day early, even in the cold. Today I’ll be worshipping from home—my new joint is giving me a little discomfort, but I’m still incredibly grateful. Grateful for breath, for movement (even if it’s a bit stiff), and for the ability to slow down and be present. Sometimes being still is the message.

My scent of the day is Guerlain Vetiver Parfum, and honestly, this one feels tailor-made for a reflective Sunday like this. It opens as a smooth, green yet dry vetiver that immediately separates itself from others in my collection. There’s no loud flash or synthetic sharpness here—just a clean, confident presence. As it settles, it wears like an elegant, old-school fougère, the kind a classic gentleman would reach for without thinking twice. Refined, composed, and quietly authoritative.

What really makes this fragrance special is how non-linear it is. It doesn’t just sit on the skin—it moves. It evolves and projects in soft, controlled waves throughout the day, never overpowering but always reminding you it’s there. Clean yet earthy, crisp yet warm, polished without feeling dated. This is the type of scent that works effortlessly in an office, elevates a special event, or simply makes a regular day feel intentional and put together.

For me, Guerlain Vetiver Parfum is a clear 8.75/10—a timeless, versatile, and deeply satisfying wear that rewards patience and appreciation.

Wishing you all a peaceful, blessed Sunday. Stay warm, stay grateful, and as always—smell amazing. 🙏🏾✨
