By the editors · 2 min readVetiver opens with a sharp, earthy greenness that feels crisp and slightly rooty, establishing a clear aromatic character from the start. Ginger adds a warm-spicy kick that enlivens the top notes and provides a subtle peppery warmth alongside the vetiver's dryness. Nutmeg contributes an additional layer of warm spice that feels aromatic and slightly woody, blending seamlessly with the dominant vetiver theme. Sandalwood in the base provides a soft, creamy woody foundation that smooths out the vetiver's roughness and adds a touch of sweetness to the dry-down. Musk extends the wear with a clean, skin-like quality that makes the scent feel intimate and persistent over several hours. The composition remains linear after the initial spray, projecting moderately for a few hours before becoming a skin scent. Suitable for casual and work settings in cooler weather.
