What does Vetiver Insolent smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn and spring, with winter and summer chosen less often. Leisure, daily and business are the most picked occasions. Voters read it as more masculine, though a fair number call it classic.

The top opens fresh and spicy with bergamot, Indian cardamom and black pepper, while elemi resin adds a resinous edge. The heart holds lavender and iris. In the base, vetiver and moss lay down an earthy floor, which tonka bean softens slightly. The overall feel is dry, green and smoky.
