Vetiver Geranium Notes Breakdown

Vetiver Geranium opens with Granny Smith Apple, Bergamot and Lemon — an assertive first impression that carries across a room.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Aromatic, Fresh Spicy, Rose, Citrus, Woody — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
