What does Eau de Vetyver smell like?

It opens with a fresh bergamot and lemon lift. Gaiac wood and nutmeg in the heart add spice and a touch of smoke. The base of vetiver, cedarwood and leather settles into an earthy, resinous ground, while a soft sweetness takes the edge off the green character.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and daily wear, leisure and business are the most common settings. Half of voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic. Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vétyver Haïti and Guerlain Vetiver Extreme have a close profile.
