What does VAR smell like?

Voters find its longevity and sillage good, with longevity at 7.6 and sillage at 7. The number of votes is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. With no season or occasion votes, all that can be said is that it reads as unisex.

As a whole the scent leans on the woody, earthy side of vetiver. Pine and Himalayan fir keep it fresh and green, while grass lightens the air. Nepalese sichuan pepper adds a slight sharpness, and Laotian oud and Mysore sandalwood soften the woods over a powdery, fougère base. Anatole Lebreton Racine Carrée and Contes de Parfums Bilbao have a close profile.
