One vetiver to rule them all

I remember when I bought a sample of this juice back in late 2021 and right after testing it I put it away thinking “there is no way I will ever wear this!”. It is very easy to dismiss vetiver as a note for untrained nose.

Fast forward to late 2022 and here I am: the proud owner of Nishane Sultan Vetiver. In the meantime I tested several popular mens vetiver fragrances only to give this one a chance again and get stunned by it. This really is a pinnacle of vetiver. The richness, complexity and deepness of the scent as well as the performance is minblowing. It takes you on a journey and keeps you entertained for 12+ hours. Outside of very hot summer days this can serve as a signature scent.

People used to typical sweet & fresh designers will probably fall out of the chair once they sniff this :D But some fragrances just need you to dive deep into this hobby and train your nose to understand and appreciate them. At least this was my case with NSV.

Given how few sprays you need to apply to enjoy this scent the whole day (2 sprays max!), the value for money is great and it will serve you very well.

Highly recommend this one! 10/10.

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.

Masterclass

I will start my review with this... Waaw , what a masterpiece... Class, well-crafted, gorgeous

If this sultan was an atlete hé would have been Usain bolt.
If this sultan was a boxer, hé would have been Mohamed Ali.
If this sultan was a basketballplayer, hé would have been Michael Jordan.

And if Maradona would have sniffed this stuff instead of the white powder, then people wouldn't even argue about who would be the best soccer player ever...

This of art starts pungent, green, little bit of earthyness.... It projects immediately...
You don't need to sniff this from the back of you hand to smell... This penetrates the nose... Like a bankrobber... No nice knocking on a the door.
After 30 min it starts to transition into a more soapy-feeling and fuller vetiver... Must be by the neroli, and the Bourbon vetiver.
It becomes less pungent and more rounded.
And this without losing any of its character, its class. This takes serveral hours (didn't time it)...

And then the final transition... This is even more .... Hmmmm.

Nice vetiver, with nice leather accord, and touch of amber that gives it a warm, cosy, creamy twist.
Sometimes I get also some hints of smokeyness...
The leather is not comparable to the leather as in Tom Ford tuscan, ombre leather or Louis Vuitton ombre nomade...
But more as in Hermes cuir d'ange, soft and nice smelling
Pure masterclass...

Use with caption...

I use 3 sprays and it filled the room...
I applied 18pm and 8 am it is still very detectable and present...

In the category of vetiver perfumes the winner is nishane sultan vetiver
With the worden of Tina Turner: you are simply the best, better than all the rest...

What? Tom Ford Grey vetiver
What? Terre d'hermes
What? Erminigildo Zegna wisdom
They are not even on the finish photo

A Sultan Indeed!

Sultan Vetiver appears to be amongst the most polarizing fragrances. Informed and forewarned by many reviews, that this could smell really bad or really good. I decided to blind buy it and be surprised. And suprised I was. It's super earthy! And much like nature it has a certain unpretentious beauty that I find alluring, calming and invigorating. With four vetiver types it would be easy to think this is a one dimensional fragrance but no. Between the four types you are taken on a journey through the cleanest and the dirtiest aspects of vetiver and everything in between. The additional notes seem to be servants of the vetiver. Distinct yet highlighting and complimenting the various nuances of each vetiver type.

A certain sophistication is communicated not only in how the scent smells but how it behaves. Wild yet tamed. Not by outside forces but has full possession of itself. Composed, elegant and refined. Yet artless, raw and wild. It has become one of my favorites and I do consider it a unique gem and yes a masterpiece. It's departure from the typical and usual is probably the same reason it is both loved and hated. I doubt a better introduction to this house could've been had by me. So far I consider this to be the best take on vetiver. A Sultan indeed!

Stunning

Such a divisive one! Just by reading the reviews here you can see how divided people can be on this one. For me, this is simply stunning. One of those fragrances, who having blind bought it, blew me out of the water after first smelling it. I like vetiver, really like it in fact. However, I now understand that what I knew as vetiver was the earthy vetiver of your encre noirs and Terre de Hermes of the World. That vetiver I love. This isn't that, at all. This vetiver is clean, it's green, then, after a long time, earthy. This is so good. It opens with a gorgeous greeness and sweetness that permeates through the lifetime of the scent. You can definitely pick up the citruses early, and they are gorgeous here. There is some earthy and leathery tones, but that's only in the far drydown.
