What does Vaadhoo smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, and it leans towards evenings and leisure wear. Voters read it as masculine more often than not, though it works as a unisex scent.

It opens with bergamot, rhubarb and Madagascan ginger, fresh and lightly spiced. The heart of immortelle absolute, violet, cannabis and jasmine absolute keeps the floral and green tones on an earthy footing. The base settles into vanilla sweetness, Sulawesi patchouli and leather, leaving a resinous, smoky warmth. Aedes de Venustas Grenadille d'Afrique and The Woods Collection Dark Forest have a close profile.
