What does Vétiver smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to spring, fall and summer, with winter the least chosen. It leans towards daily, leisure and business wear, though evenings and nights out hold their own. Voters read it mostly as masculine and classic.

Sicilian grapefruit gives a bright, fresh start. In the heart, Robusta coffee adds a spicy, slightly roasted note. Haitian vetiver dominates the base, and the scent settles into an earthy, smoky woodiness.
