What does Vetiveria Animalis smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters see it as more masculine than feminine, though many also call it feminine or classic.

It opens with bergamot, plum, cinnamon and aldehydes giving the vetiver some brightness and spice. In the heart, rose, jasmine, narcissus and orris form a powdery floral base, with vetiver and civet leaving an animalic trace beneath. The base of patchouli, oakmoss, oud and sandalwood pulls it towards woody, earthy and resinous. Angelos Créations Olfactives Irida Extrait and Aromas de Salazar Eau de Chypre have a close profile.
