What does Vetiver Java smell like?

Grapefruit, Calabrian bergamot and Nepalese sichuan pepper give it a bright, sharp start. In the heart, Java vetiver and geranium absolute take over, with the earthy and green side leading. Musk and amber in the base soften that dry, smoky feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind, and leisure and office are the occasions it leans towards. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine, though it stays unisex in style. Lubin Le Vetiver and Heeley Vetiver Veritas have a close profile.
