Vetiver's dry earthiness meets a toasted hazelnut and tonka warmth, cedar reinforcing the woods. Nutty and smooth, earthy and sweet at once. Rich but never cloying.

Vétiver Tonka carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 77th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
