What does Mon Vetiver smell like?

Haitian vetiver sits at the centre, framed by sharp, bright key lime and juniper. Lavender and gentian add a green, lightly spicy touch, while Indonesian patchouli and cashmere wood deepen the earthy, woody side.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office, and far less for evenings or nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, though it wears as unisex. Atelier Cologne Patchouli Riviera and Heeley Vetiver Veritas have a close profile.
