Vetiver Spice

The top holds green cardamom, citrus notes and violet; the heart brings cypress, Java vetiver and absinth. In the base, amber, Haitian vanilla, leather and frankincense sweeten the scent and tie it to a smoky, powdery woodiness. Moss, cashmere and gaiac wood round out the texture.

Longevity is good and sillage is moderate. Voters rate it equally suited to daytime, leisure and business, with evening wear also in the mix. The cardamom freshness keeps it easy for everyday use.
