Vetiver Sensuel
by Mancera
Vetiver Sensuel by Mancera presents a crisp, clean, and refreshing profile centered around bright citrus notes, particularly bergamot, lemon, and lime, which create an uplifting opening. This is balanced by a subtle yet persistent vetiver base that adds earthy depth without dominating the composition. The integration of mint, orchid, and woody notes results in a softly musky, aromatic dry-down with a faintly sweet undertone from amber. The fragrance evolves gracefully: initially sharp and fresh, then settling into a quietly complex, well-blended scent that feels both refined and wearable. Many note its clean, unisex character, likening it to a lighter, fresher version of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver or Terre d’Hermès, with a subtle floral hint from the orchid that adds airiness. It performs at moderate longevity and sillage, making it ideal for daytime wear, particularly in warm weather. Though not fiercely projecting, its presence is noticeable at a distance and lingers pleasantly throughout the day.
