Dry, dried grass, soapy scent. Straight up vetiver, and clearly for classic vetiver lovers. I am a woman, and love to wear it on a casual jeans kind of day. I can imagine a man or woman in a crisp tailored suit would carry this off the best and believe this is when this fragrance would complement the wearer best. But like I said, jeans and a t shirt are a good match as well. Not warm and not for women wearing a dress. That would not make sense to me.
