It was in 1957 that this mythical fragrance was born, paying tribute to the legendary elegance of Philippe Mallet, Madame Carven's husband. Mrs. Carven wanted something for the easygoing man, hence the integration of Vétiver. Vétiver by Carven is the first eau de toilette in the history of perfumery to play up this signature root. Carven has decided to put it forward in 2014, by releasing a reissue of this great classic in perfumery.
