What does Sunrise Vetiver smell like?

It opens with vervain, Italian lemon, bergamot and Brazilian orange for a bright citrus lift. In the heart, Sri Lankan cardamom, nutmeg and rosemary add a spicy, slightly herbal note. The base of Haitian vetiver, iris, white amber and sandalwood settles into a softly sweet, woody and earthy finish.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and it carries comfortably into summer too. It is chosen mostly for business and leisure. Frédéric Malle Vétiver Extraordinaire and Le Galion Vetyver have a close profile.
