What does White Vetiver smell like?

It opens with spearmint, lime and bergamot for a crisp citrus feel. Ginger and palmarosa add a spicy, green touch in the heart, and vetiver forms a woody base that ambergris and vanilla soften slightly.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most. More voters read it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex. Abel Tonic and Davidoff Adventure Eau Fraîche have a close profile.
