What does Vétiver Bourbon smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a noticeable but close trail through the day. It suits men and women alike, with a calm, natural character.

It opens with fresh notes, and the heart is led by bourbon vetiver, oakmoss and patchouli. Musk and ambergris soften the base. The overall feel is fresh and green, with spicy, resinous and slightly smoky touches behind the earthy core. Lalique Encre Noire (Eau de Toilette) and Jovoy La Liturgie des Heures have a close profile.
