Guerlain Vetiver may date back to 1959, but like a pair of 501s, it's the very definition of a timeless classic. Considered by perfume geeks to be the benchmark, it's a woodsy juice pepped-up by notes of tobacco, citrus and spice. Basically, a walk through a forest followed by a pipe in an armchair. Just, bottled.
