What does VSOP smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a noticeable trail close to the wearer without filling the room. The vote counts are small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads equally well on men and women.
It opens with cognac, bergamot and geranium: bergamot brings the freshness, cognac the warmth. In the heart, black pepper, ginger, pink pepper, elemi resin and cinnamon build a spicy, resinous feel. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, musk and cashmeran leaves it woody and soft.
