Linen Vetiver
by Banana Republic
Linen Vetiver is a clean, fresh, and airy fragrance that evokes the scent of laundered linens, citrus-tinged air, and a soft, soapy musk. It opens with bright bergamot and cardamom, quickly transitioning into a delicate floral heart of hyacinth and iris, balanced by a subtle green vetiver and earthy woody base. The overall effect is refreshingly light, resembling clean sheets hung in the sun, with a warm, creamy musk and crystal amber that lingers subtly. Though the vetiver note is faint and not prominent unless deliberately sought, the fragrance's harmony and gentle complexity give it a quiet elegance. It's best suited for daytime wear in spring or summer, with a soft, intimate sillage that projects moderately and fades soon after application. Despite moderate longevity, it performs well when applied generously to fabrics or skin.
