What does Vetyver Rain Skin smell like?

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so it reads as a single whole. Vetiver and Egyptian violet leaf set a cool, green backdrop, while grapefruit and bergamot add citrus brightness. Marine notes reinforce the aquatic feel; sandalwood and moss bring a light woody, earthy tone, and French sage adds a touch of spice.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters lean towards leisure, daily wear and business, with evening and night out further behind. M. Micallef Osaïto and Annindriya Vetiver Rain have a close profile.
