What does Le Vetiver smell like?

It has been discontinued. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, with winter trailing behind. It leans towards daytime, office and leisure wear more than evenings or nights out, and most voters call it masculine and classic.

It opens with mandarin orange, grapefruit, Guinea orange and neroli for a bright start. Clove, nutmeg and Caribbean pimento add spice in the heart. The base is led by Java vetiver and Virginia cedar, while frankincense, myrrh and blond tobacco give the dry-down a smoky, earthy depth.
