What does Vetyver Messager smell like?
It opens with bergamot, grapefruit, apple and cardamom, while pink pepper and coriander add a light spice to that fresh start. In the heart, geranium and carrot bring a green, earthy tone. In the base, vetiver, benzoin, tonka bean and vanilla soften the scent and add sweetness.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are not conclusive. With its fresh opening and woody base it sits close to everyday wear and reads clearly masculine. Bottega del Sarto Tailored and Zara Heritage Selection - Black Tag Intense have a similar profile.
