What does Vétiver Fauve smell like?
It opens with fig, green notes and pineapple, which give a cool, juicy fruit feel. In the heart vetiver takes over, with fresh and green tones leading. In the base, cypriol and tonka bean tie the scent into a spicy, earthy and slightly sweet woodiness.
Most voters recommend spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. Longevity and sillage are rated good. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though the feminine vote is far from small. Nimerè Quantico and Jil Sander Strictly have a similar profile.
