What does Vetiver Pamplemousse Elixir smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, office and daily wear. Feminine and masculine votes sit close together, so it doesn't pull firmly in either direction.

Mandarin orange brings the citrus freshness, while cherry blossom adds a soft floral and fruity note. Bamboo wood gives it a green, woody frame, and amber and frankincense warm it slightly. The overall feel is clean and bright, with a somewhat synthetic edge. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) has a close profile.
