Roja Parfums Vetiver opens with bright bergamot, lemon and Litsea cubeba, then settles into a dry, earthy vetiver and cedar base, a masculine chypre.

What does Vetiver (Parfum) smell like?

Citrus leads the top, while cistus, jasmine and May rose soften that freshness in the heart. The base is dominated by vetiver, cedar and oakmoss, with pepper and nutmeg adding spice. The overall impression is fresh, green and woody.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards work and leisure wear. It reads masculine and classic. Roja Parfums Vetiver Parfum Cologne and Detaille Escrimeur have a close profile.
