What does Vetiveria smell like?

It opens sharp and bright with Sicilian lime, Nepalese sichuan pepper, sage and juniper berry. In the heart, lavender, jasmine and orange blossom soften that edge with a floral touch. The base of vetiver, cistus, tonka bean and moss settles it onto a woody, earthy ground.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. Though unisex, voters read it as masculine more often than not. Tom Ford Grey Vetiver and Miller Harris Terre de Bois have a close profile.
