It flips conventional structure (usually vanilla is a base): here, vanilla is upfront, then the lavender softens it, and vetiver grounds it with an earthy lean.
When & where: Autumn and winter, evening to late night. Great for layering, cozy settings, events. Vanilla up front gives it noticeable opening.
Scene visualization: Picture strolling in an old European piazza at night. The air has a cool edge. Someone lights a vanilla-scented candle in a nearby cafe. Lavender from hanging plants drifts in. Underneath, the stones and buildings hum vetiver. You walk through the square, the scent wrapping around you like a soft scarf.
