What does Vétiver smell like?

It opens with three citrus notes: mandarin orange, bitter orange and lime. In the heart, ginger and coriander add spice while Haitian vetiver forms the backbone. The base returns to vetiver, with Jamaican pepper adding a little heat. The overall impression is fresh, green and woody, with a faint chypre feel in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail rather than lasting all day. It is marketed as a men's fragrance and suits those who like clean, earthy vetiver. Creed Original Vetiver and Frédéric Malle Vétiver Extraordinaire have a close profile.
