What does St. Vetyver smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend spring, summer and fall, with winter trailing behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and while most voters find it masculine, it reads comfortably unisex.

The opening of seagrass, pink pepper and bitter orange is fresh with a light spice. In the heart, palm straw, Caribbean sugar cane and clove leaf move it from green towards sweet. The base of rum, Haitian vetiver and breadnut settles into an earthy, woody finish. Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Vétiver Extraordinaire and Creed Original Vetiver have a close profile.
