What does Pink Vetiver (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Ginger, nutmeg and cumin set the spicy tone, while juniper berry and elemi resin push it towards a clean, green side. Vetiver lays an earthy, lightly smoky base, and ambrette softens the fruity sweetness. The notes read as one whole rather than in separate layers.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, and leisure and business lead the occasions. It is classed as feminine, but the fougère and woody structure leaves it somewhere in between. Carolina Herrera Vetiver Paradise and Jacques Bogart Story Green have a close profile.
