What does Vétiver Fatal smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Daily wear, leisure and business come up most often, while few voters choose winter. It reads somewhat more masculine than feminine, though the gap is small.

It opens with bergamot, bitter orange and lemon, a fresh citrus start. In the heart, fig, orange blossom absolute and violet leaf add a fruity, lightly sweet, green touch. The base of vetiver, cedar and oud is woody and spicy. Atelier Cologne Cédrat Enivrant and Mind Games Blockade have a close profile.
