What does Vetiver Root smell like?

It opens with green tea, cardamom and bergamot, a light, slightly spicy start. In the heart, vetiver, cedarwood and lavender take over and give it a green, earthy feel. In the base, amber and tonka bean soften the sweetness and set the woods on a warm footing.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it suits leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads masculine, balanced between classic and modern. Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Sober Krypton No̱ 36 have a close profile.
