What does Vetiver Veritas smell like?

It opens with mint and lavender, fresh and lightly spicy. Haitian vetiver takes over in the heart, with its woody, earthy and smoky side forming the backbone of the scent. Grapefruit carries the citrus freshness into the base, so a green brightness stays present throughout.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it wears comfortably in summer too. It is chosen most for leisure, daily wear and the office. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine.
