What does Vetiver / Golden Vetiver smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, it carries comfortably in summer, and winter is the least chosen season. It suits work and daily wear best, with leisure close behind. More than half of voters read it as masculine, though it is presented as unisex.

Bergamot, grapefruit and orange leaf give a bright citrus opening. In the heart, geranium, neroli and violet add a soft floral touch, while pink pepper, pepper and patchouli bring a spicy, earthy edge. Vetiver, cedar and oakmoss dominate the base, with benzoin and musk softening that dry, woody ground.
