Is this a masculine or feminine fragrance?+−
Vétiver Fatal is widely considered a unisex fragrance. While vetiver is often a staple in men's perfumery, the inclusion of sweet fig and floral orange blossom balances the woody base, making it equally popular among women.
How does the performance compare to other Atelier Cologne scents?+−
This fragrance is noted for having better-than-average performance for the brand. Unlike some of their lighter citrus-only scents, the woody base of cedar and vetiver allows it to linger on the skin for many hours.
Can this be worn in cold weather?+−
While its citrus and green notes make it a favorite for summer and spring, the smoky vetiver and woody oud notes provide enough depth for year-round wear, though it may feel lighter in peak winter.
Does the oud note make it smell heavy or "skanky"?+−
Not at all. The oud here is used as a supporting base note to provide structure and a hint of darkness; it does not have the medicinal or barnyard qualities found in some middle-eastern inspired scents.
