What does Vetiver Parfum Cologne smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, followed by autumn and summer, and it is chosen for leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads masculine and classic. Roja Parfums Vetiver (Parfum) and Guerlain Vetiver Extreme have a close profile.

Citrus opens it brightly: bergamot, lemon and litsea cubeba. In the heart, cistus, jasmine and rose soften that coolness. The base settles into an earthy, smoky woodiness of vetiver, cedar, gaiac wood and oakmoss, with nutmeg and pepper adding spicy warmth.
