Vetiver Guerlain

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on bergamot, tobacco and lemon, moves through vetiver, pepper and carnation, and settles on vetiver, oakmoss and leather.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• tobacco: dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
