What does Vétiver smell like?

The top notes of vervain, bergamot and lemon give a fresh, citrusy, green start, and sage and rosemary in the heart pull that greenness in a herbal direction. Vetiver and musk form a dry, woody base. A faintly synthetic edge runs through the accords.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters place it mostly in leisure, daily and office wear, with sport and evening further behind. It suits anyone who wants a light, clean scent that doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Montblanc Explorer Infinite and Guerlain Frenchy Lavande / Le Frenchy have a close profile.
