What does this note smell like?
Dry roots, cut grass and earth, with woody, sometimes smoky facets. Vetiver can anchor bright citrus or watery fruit without vanilla-like sweetness. It feels more root-like and linear than the dark leafy image of patchouli; origin and processing can shift its balance, so smokiness is not guaranteed.
