What does Vetyver smell like?

It opens with bergamot and vetiver, pairing citrus brightness with a green, dry edge. Coriander adds a spicy touch in the heart, while vetiver stays present throughout. Sandalwood in the base settles the scent into a woody, faintly smoky warmth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding a room. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and few choose winter. It leans towards leisure and office wear, and reads masculine and classic. It has been discontinued.
