What does Vetiver (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and business come up most often for occasions. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters lean towards masculine, though it remains unisex.

It opens with grapefruit zest, cardamom and Italian bergamot, which give a citrusy, lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, celery seed and white iris add a green, powdery side. The base of Haitian vetiver, gaiac wood and amber settles it into an earthy, woody finish. Prada Infusion de Vétiver and Comme des Garçons Vettiveru have a close profile.
