Scent Spotlight: Vetiver · Nettle · Petitgrain

The late afternoon in winter. The light has moved, the room’s a bit darker than earlier, and there’s no particular reason to do anything except be in it.

Vetiver is a root — earthy and deep, dry without being heavy, with a slight smokiness that grounds whatever room it’s in. This is the scent for evenings that begin at four.

The Fragrance

Vetiver · Nettle · Petitgrain is the most considered of the WØRKS hand care scents. The vetiver provides a dry, earthy base — not a heavy weight, but something cooler and more mineral. Nettle adds a green, slightly bitter edge. Petitgrain — derived from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree — lifts it with a woody, faintly floral brightness.

It is not a simple scent. It takes a moment to arrive. That’s the point.

Blended in Australia by a master perfumer. IFRA-certified. Phthalate-free.
