What does Yerbamate smell like?

It opens with citrus, tarragon, mint and ylang-ylang, while green notes and aromatic herbs keep it crisp. In the heart, maté, tea, hay and lavender carry the herbal theme. The base settles on vetiver, patchouli and tree moss, giving a woody, slightly powdery footing, with sweetness and spice kept in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. Miller Harris La Pluie and Chloé Lavande have a close profile.
