What does Raw Vetiver smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as moderate, so it leaves a presence without filling a room. It reads as masculine.

As a whole it smells fresh, citrusy and green. Vetiver supplies a woody, earthy base, ginger adds a spicy edge, and iris brings a powdery, creamy softness. A synthetic note runs through the accords as well. Zara Legend Iron and Louis Vuitton Orage have a close profile.
