Vetiver by Carven


This is a light vetiver that is rather fleeting but with some complex, sophisticated character included. It starts out with a burst of lemony, dry citrus and rapidly moves into floral notes of carnation and orris in the middle. The base notes are vetiver and cedar with a lingering floral component that lends a roundness and comfortable feeling to the drydown. There might be some sandalwood in the base as well. This cologne doesn't shout, it is a comforting vetiver that lingers close to the skin. Vetiver Carven is probably more for people who like mature and classic fragrances rather than ozonic or fruity scents.
