From your scent profile
Avant-Garden Lab Vetiverus is an earthy, woody and slightly smoky unisex scent built around Haitian vetiver, patchouli and clove, and it suits fall and the cooler months best.

What does Vetiverus smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with evening and office use also named. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine, so it stays open to both.
As a whole it is spicy, resinous and woody. Haitian vetiver and patchouli carry the weight, clove and coriander add spice, and bitter orange with osmanthus absolute bring a fruity, floral lift. Labdanum and styrax give a leathery, animal warmth, which ambroxan and white musk soften.
