What does Vetiver Royal Bourbon (2014) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with summer and winter further behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and also suits the office. Voters call it masculine and classic.

Peppermint, thyme and vetiver absolute give a cool, green, spicy start. The heart holds labdanum, Bourbon vetiver, sandalwood and iris. In the base, tobacco, leather and oakmoss pull it towards a smoky, resinous warmth. Chanel Sycomore and Etro Vetiver have a close profile.
