What does 6.1 Vétiver Matale smell like?

Aromatic notes and green tea open with freshness and a green edge. In the heart, heliotrope, bourbon vetiver and blond tobacco come together: the vetiver brings earthy, woody depth, while the tobacco adds a smoky, spicy tone. Cashmeran and propolis sweeten the base and pull it towards a powdery softness, with a faintly synthetic sheen left over.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. It leans masculine in character but still reads as unisex. It has been discontinued. Escentric Molecules Molecule 05 and Korres Vetiver Root have a close profile.
