No. 3 Veti Vert

It opens with bergamot, lemon, grapefruit and petitgrain, a sharp and airy citrus layer. Nutmeg and lavender add a spicy warmth in the heart, and vetiver closes it with an earthy, smoky wood.

Leisure, daily wear and business come up most often, and close to half of voters call it masculine. Guerlain Vetiver Extreme and Carven Vétiver (2008) have a close profile.
