What does Italian Vetiver smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, with winter the least chosen. Leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Voters mostly read it as masculine, followed by classic.

It opens with black pepper, Sicilian neroli and rhubarb, a citrus-spicy freshness. In the heart, basil, clary sage and nutmeg add a green, aromatic edge. The base rests on vetiver, cedarwood and gaiac wood, softened by musk and tonka bean.
