Masque II-III Hemingway is a fresh, earthy woody scent that sets three kinds of vetiver beside ginger, rhubarb, patchouli, cedarwood and leather.
Skunky's take: A card-carrying member of the fresh club.
How does it perform?
From 93 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

Ginger and rhubarb give it a fresh, lightly spicy, green start. Vetiver sits in the heart, while Haitian and Java vetiver join patchouli, cedarwood and leather at the base. The overall impression is green, earthy and smoky, with the leather staying in the background rather than turning harsh.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and name leisure, evening and business settings. Most see it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex. Two perfumes with a close profile are Hermès Bel Ami Vétiver and Hiram Green Vetiver.
