What does Linen Vetiver smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is mostly worn for leisure, daily wear and sport, with some choosing it for the office. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, which suits its unisex character.

Citrus and fresh accords lead, galbanum adds a green crispness, and iris brings a soft, powdery floral touch. Vetiver gives a woody base, with a light sweetness running through it. Prada Infusion d'Iris and Chloé Innocence have a close profile.
