What does Vetiver Bourbon smell like?

It opens bright, spicy and slightly bitter with lemon, bergamot, coriander and artemisia. In the heart, orange blossom and Bourbon vetiver take over, and the earthy side of the vetiver defines the character. Sandalwood and oakmoss form a dry, woody base underneath.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and office top the occasions. Most see it as masculine, though a fair number read it as feminine. Malizia Uomo Vetyver and Creed Original Vetiver have a close profile.
