From your scent profile
Carolina Herrera Vetiver Paradise is a unisex scent that ties a fresh opening of grapefruit, pink pepper and bergamot to a woody base of vetiver and gaiac wood.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.
How does it perform?
From 40 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

WoodyWhat does Vetiver Paradise smell like?
The citrus-led opening picks up cardamom, neroli and nutmeg in the heart, which adds a green, lightly sweet, spicy edge. In the base, vetiver and gaiac wood bring a calm, earthy, woody finish.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and name leisure, daily wear and business as the usual settings. Voters lean towards reading it as masculine. Jacques Bogart Riviera Nights and Dunhill Icon Racing have a close profile.
