What does Vetiver Extreme smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the wearer. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. It is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office, and just over half of voters read it as masculine, with some calling it classic.

Lemon and bergamot lead. Nutmeg and pepper add a spicy warmth in the heart. In the base, vetiver and cedar build a woody, earthy floor, softened slightly by tonka bean. The overall impression is green, dry and smoky-fresh. Guerlain Vetiver Sport / Vetiver Eau Glacée and Carven Vétiver (2014) have a close profile.
