V Canto Alibi V

Terre d'Hermes Parfum shares Alibi V's woody citrus foundation, with grapefruit and orange providing a similar bright opening. However, it deepens the experience with flint and a mineral earthiness, plus amber and oak moss in the base for greater warmth and longevity. Where Alibi V feels airy and salty, this Parfum is denser and more grounded, ideal for cooler seasons or formal occasions.

Original Vetiver mirrors Alibi V's citrus top notes with bergamot, ginger, and mandarin, creating a similarly fresh start. The difference lies in its heart: iris and sandalwood lend a softer, creamier texture, while vetiver adds a green, slightly rooty character. Alibi V's salty mineral edge is absent here, replaced by a clean musky base that makes this a lighter, more office friendly choice.

It feels more intense and earthy than Alibi V, with a similar daytime versatility.

Vetiver Extraordinaire begins with bergamot and bitter orange, similar to Alibi V's citrus opening. Its heart is a dense blend of vetiver, cedar, clove, and pink pepper, creating a spicy, earthy complexity far beyond Alibi V's simplicity. The base of musk and oakmoss adds depth. This is a bolder, more assertive fragrance with strong sillage, suited for those who want a pronounced vetiver presence.
