What does Vetiver (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens fresh and green with sagebrush, bergamot, clary sage and petitgrain. In the heart, gaiac wood, iris and bourbon vetiver bring out the woody, earthy side, and tobacco flower with amber adds a resinous warmth in the base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it suits daytime, leisure and office wear. Most see it as masculine and classic. Le Labo Vetiver 46 and D.S. & Durga Cowboy Grass have a close profile.
