Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate performance and clean, fresh profile make it ideal for office wear and casual daytime use. It's too understated for formal events and lacks the punch for a standout date night, but could work for light activity.

About

L'Eau Pour Homme Intense Vetiver opens with cardamom, lemon and blood mandarin, a zesty citrus with a little spice. The heart is herbal and aromatic, with cypress, geranium, rosemary, mint and lavender. The base is vetiver, Virginia cedarwood and patchouli, which is dry, earthy and woody. This Eau de Toilette is a fresh aromatic vetiver, clean and crisp from top to base.
