What does Itasca / Le Vetiver - Itasca smell like?

Mandarin orange, grapefruit and neroli form a bright citrus layer, while juniper berry, red pine and clary sage add a green, resinous freshness. Cedar, tobacco and frankincense bring a smoky, earthy tone; clove and nutmeg add spice, and amber, myrrh and tonka bean soften the whole blend.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with daily wear, work and leisure leading the occasions. Half of the voters call it masculine, and some find it classic. Lubin Le Vetiver and Le Labo Vetiver 46 (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
