What does Vetiver Ambrato smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, with summer least favoured. Leisure, evening and daily wear lead, while office and night out follow close behind. Most votes call it masculine, though a good share see it as feminine.

Bergamot, lemon and petitgrain give a fresh citrus opening, with galbanum and artemisia adding a green edge. In the heart, lavender, clove and geranium bring a floral, lightly spicy turn. The base settles on earthy, woody vetiver, softened by benzoin, labdanum, vanilla and amber into something sweet, powdery and resinous.
