What does Vétiver Overdrive smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters lean towards spring, with fall and summer close behind, and name leisure, business and daily wear as the usual occasions. Most read it as masculine, though it is a unisex scent.

The notes come across as a single whole: bergamot gives a citrus freshness, while vetiver and cedar form a green, woody backbone. Geranium adds a spicy touch, and musk and ambroxan leave a clean, synthetic base. Fragonard Papa Chéri and Bond No. 9 Great Jones have a close profile.
