If you love Vetiver Supreme, Shaya would reach for these

The Story

Vetiver is a grass. A root pulled from the earth—difficult to harvest, humble in origin, and yet one of perfumery's most revered materials. Which raises a question worth sitting with: what gives anything its perceived value? Why is gold precious? Why does rose mean love? Some things accumulate meaning through history and repetition until the association feels like fact.

Vetiver is one of those examples. Earthy and difficult, and inexplicably elevated. Vetiver Supreme began not as an emotional pursuit, but an intellectual one. An attempt to understand the material on its own terms—an obsession over what gives anything that je ne sais quoi, that “certain something.” The formula is built around both Haitian & Indonesian vetiver, intentionally overdosed at an unusually high concentration by any standard in modern perfumery. While opening notes of clove and cardamom settle into a heart of orris root, tonka bean, and ambroxan, the vetiver deepens throughout—dry, smoky, faintly leathery—wearing close to the skin long after everything else has settled. Vetiver Supreme is a true study in a single material, pushed to its fullest expression.

The House

Kismet Olfactive is the New York studio of perfumer Shabnam Tavakol, who trained at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery and apprenticed with master perfumers in New York and Paris before founding her own house. The daughter of Iranian immigrants and raised in California, she bridges Persian heritage and Western upbringing in small-batch fragrance. The brand's quiet motto — in feelings we trust — runs through every composition.
