What does Vintage Collection - Vetiver smell like?

Petitgrain, galbanum and bergamot open with a sharp, green citrus freshness, rounded out by lavender, mint and rosewood. In the heart, cumin, nutmeg and sage add spice, while neroli softens the edges. The base rests on vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli and oakmoss, giving a woody, earthy and slightly smoky finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine or classic, though a fair number find it feminine. Fall leads the season votes with spring close behind, and summer and winter are not far off. Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver and Lorenzo Villoresi Patchouli (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
