What does Series 4: Cologne - Vettiveru smell like?

It has been discontinued. It wears with moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most chosen settings. It leans masculine for most voters, though a good number find it feminine.

Italian bergamot and neroli bring a bright citrus start, cardamom adds a spicy edge, and Haitian vetiver gives it a green, earthy backbone. Cedarwood strengthens the woody side while musk softens the whole. It feels light like a cologne, yet dry and earthy. Perfumes with a close profile include Frédéric Malle Vétiver Extraordinaire and Prada Infusion de Vétiver.
