What does Vetyver smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend it for fall, spring and summer, with fewer picking winter. It suits leisure, work and daily wear, and half of the voters find it masculine.

It opens bright with mandarin orange, lemon petitgrain and mint. At its heart, vetiver, black pepper, clove and cumin build a dry, spicy greenness, softened slightly by ylang-ylang. The base of oakmoss, tobacco absolute, tonka bean absolute and musk leaves a woody, faintly animal warmth.
