What does Vetiver 46 (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close without crowding a room. Most voters pick it for fall, with winter and spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, yet sits comfortably in the evening and at the office too. Most voters call it masculine.

Vetiver anchors the whole scent, while bergamot and black pepper give it a bright, spicy lift. Clove keeps the spice going as cedar and gaiac wood build a dry, slightly smoky woody base. Frankincense, labdanum absolute, amber and vanilla add a resinous warmth and softness. Marc Gebauer Berserker and Divine L'Homme Infini share a close profile.
