Vertus traces its roots back to 1969, when Halil Akat founded a fragrance and personal care business. In 2015, his son Çetin Akat launched Vertus as a French niche fragrance house. The brand went on to develop a world structured around four layers of the earth and collections built on rich, dense compositions.
Vertus works with traceable raw materials, selected by perfumers from different backgrounds and then blended by hand. Its olfactory language favours depth, contrast and a generous presence on the skin. The collections are organised around four layers of the earth, while the cubic bottles embody a refined and understated aesthetic.
Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Vertus fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Sole Patchouli.
