Vetiver Essence

Petitgrain, red pepper and grapefruit give it a cool, slightly sharp opening. In the heart, vetiver, cardamom, iris and coffee bean come forward while citrus notes keep it bright. The base of tonka bean, hazelnut wood, cedar and patchouli settles it onto a soft, woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters lean towards spring and fall, then summer, and pick daily wear, the office and leisure time. Most voters read it as masculine. Hermès Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
