What does Eau de Cartier Vétiver Bleu smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, then fall; daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as unisex.

It is built on vetiver and woody notes, with liquorice adding a soft sweetness and menthol a cool edge. Fresh and green accords dominate, balanced by earthy and woody sides, while spicy and synthetic tones stay in the background. Rituals No. 17 Vetiver & Bergamot and Korres Vetiver Root have a close profile.
