What does No. 5 Verger smell like?

It opens on crab apple, then the heart brings green leaves, basil and damascone, giving the scent an orchard-like feel. Vetiver sits underneath and pulls it towards a woody dry finish. Citrus and floral touches keep it light, while a spicy edge stops the green side from turning too sweet.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. It reads comfortably on both men and women. It has been discontinued.
