What does Vetiver in Chestnut smell like?

It opens with Balkans juniper, grapefruit and pink pepper, which bring both freshness and a slight edge. In the heart, French sage, liquorice and orris concrete soften the green and add sweetness. As it dries, carrot seed, Haitian vetiver and cedarwood form a woody, resinous base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring; leisure and daily wear lead, and it also works at the office. It leans masculine in character, though a fair share of voters find it feminine. Pineward Katabatic and Jo Malone Hinoki & Cedarwood have a close profile.
