What does Vétiver Vert (Cologne) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, with autumn and summer close behind and winter far less common. It is chosen mostly for leisure, business and daily wear, and it reads masculine.

Mandarin orange and bergamot give the opening its citrus lift, while laurel and galbanum add a green, lightly spicy heart. Sandalwood and Haitian vetiver settle into a soft, powdery, earthy woodiness, with sweet and smoky touches staying in the background. Floris Turnbull & Asser - 71/72 and Givenchy Vetyver have a close profile.
