The Different Company Sel de Vétiver is a fresh, citrusy scent that softens the earthy side of vetiver with an aquatic coolness and a faintly salty, easygoing feel.

What does Sel de Vétiver smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named occasions. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards calling it masculine, though as a unisex scent it wears easily on anyone.

Grapefruit and cardamom give a clean, lightly spiced opening. The heart holds Haitian vetiver, geranium and lovage, and the base brings sea salt, iris and ylang-ylang. Green and woody tones are balanced by the aquatic feel. Diptyque Vetyverio and Clarins Eau Ressourçante share a close profile.
