The final boss of vetiver
Forget about the commercially safe vetiver perfumes from Guerlain, Hermès or Tom Ford. This is vetiver in its natural glory - aromatic, earthy and dirty, with an opening that can be challenging if you aren't used to the greener aspects of vetiver.
It should be noted that the fragrance is blended so perfectly that even an untrained nose can pick up the multitude of vetiver notes. Jorge Lee takes you by the hand and shows you the whole life cycle of vetiver, starting out green and pungent when the plant is still young, eventually ending with dry and woody vetiver.
The opening takes you to a grassfield. It's springtime and it rained recently. Imagine green, aromatic and wet notes. It can be overbearing, especially when you add pepper to the mix. Bergamot adds some bitter freshness and when it comes to absinth, I mostly pick up anise and maybe fennel, so it actually reminds me of ouzo.
As the fragrance develops and starts drying down, so does the vetiver. Think of a dry field with wheels of hay. It becomes earthy and woody with a dusty quality. Eventally, a creamy leather note grounds the scent, complementing the earthiness. Performance is good, I get about 8 hours on skin with moderate projection.
Give it a shot and try to keep an open mind. This scent conveys many facets of vetiver and gives you a much deeper understanding of the note. As usual, Jorge Lee brings high quality ingredients to life with masterful bleding. Sultan Vetiver deserves your attention.
