SpicyWhat does Vetiver Forte smell like?
It opens with Italian bergamot and Italian lemon, while nutmeg and cardamom add a spicy warmth from the first moments. The heart brings lavender, clary sage and tobacco, and the scent then settles onto gaiac wood, Haitian vetiver and cashmeran. The overall impression is fresh, green and slightly sweet.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring, summer and fall, with winter a distant fourth. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and is mostly seen as masculine and modern. Iceberg Twice Cyan and Zara Extreme 12.0 have a close profile.
