What does Route du Vétiver smell like?

It opens with leaf green, blackcurrant and aldehydes, bright and lightly fruity. At the heart, Bourbon vetiver, precious woods and jasmine take over, with the floral side staying in the background. Musk and sandalwood soften the base. The accords also bring woody, smoky, leathery and spicy shades.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring and winter, and it leans toward evenings and leisure wear. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Arrogance pour Homme and Jean-Louis Trintignant pour Homme share a close profile.
