What does Vetiverve smell like?

It opens citrusy and fresh with bitter orange and bergamot. In the heart, clove and pink pepper add spice while Haitian vetiver brings out the green, earthy side. The base gathers sandalwood, woods, musk and myrrh into a warm, woody finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters spread across spring, fall and summer almost evenly, and pick it most for leisure and business settings. It leans masculine in most votes, yet works as a unisex scent. Frédéric Malle Vétiver Extraordinaire and Creed Original Vetiver have a close profile.
