This green perfume is spiked with 25% vetiver, which is about three times the normal concentration. Don't worry, you won't end up smelling like a lawnmower (though who doesn't love the scent of freshly cut grass?). It's made with a rare vetiver oil that nixes vetiver's bitter tendencies for a crisp take on the scent that's balanced with a woody blend.
