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.

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

The final boss of vetiver

Forget about the commercially safe vetivers from Guerlain, Hermès or Tom Ford. This is vetiver in its full, natural glory. It's 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 that are used here. Jorge Lee takes you by the hand and shows you the whole life cycle of vetiver, starting green and pungent when the plant is still young, eventually ending in the dry and woody vetiver that some of us have been exposed to thanks to Jean-Paul Guerlain and Jean-Claude Ellena.

The opening takes you to a green field. It's springtime and maybe it has rained recently. Think of aromatic, green and wet notes. It can be overwhelming, especially when you add pepperiness to the mix. Bergamot and neroli offer a helping hand, providing the much-needed bitter freshness.

When it comes to the absinth note, I think I can pick up its sweet, anethole quality, almost like making a reduction when cooking. Think of anise and fennel, it reminds me of ouzo more than anything. Along with the citruses, this further contributes to balancing the scent and prevents it from smelling outright repulsive during the initial stages.

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. I applaud Jorge Lee for taking a page out of Guerlain's playbook and relying on amberwood and leather to ground the fragrance. Sultan Vetiver develops into a warmer scent with some balsamic, resinous and sweet undertones, which goes well with the dirtiness of vetiver.

The performance on my skin is decent, but I wouldn't give it a 9. I get solid 7-8 hours of longevity with 2 hours of sillage that makes a lasting impression, which is more than enough if you ask me. Just like with a good roller coaster, it's fun while it lasts, but you're glad when it's over.

You can wear this all year round, but it's more of a "me time" scent. I wear this when I'm running errands or going for a longer walk. Forget about pleasing the masses and receiving compliments. The best I've got from a woman was "You smell interesting" when standing in a queue or "What's that smell, I can't quite place it" when I wore it to the office. My buddies and male colleagues found it more intriguing - it's a great conversation piece.

I love Nishane's presentation. You get an envelope and a postcard with cool art and the fragrance ingredients. The bottles are elegant and have metal caps. Their plaques include crucial information and also the name of the city which the scent is supposed to represent. This is such a neat detail and it makes sense when I think about it. Cécile Zarokian's "Ani" certainly gives me Paris vibes, while Sultan Vetiver is more Mumbai-like.

In conclusion, give it a shot and try to be open-minded. Given the quality, I consider the price at discounters to be quite fair. The scent takes some getting used to and you might end up disliking it. However, it conveys all facets of vetiver, which ultimately gives you a deeper understanding of the note. In my opinion, this makes Sultan Vetiver worthwhile.

Similar to Guerlain Vetiver

If you can't justify it's price tag, go for guerlain vetvier
To my nose, guerlain's with the tobacco note is not as realistic of a vetiver as this

Scentwise, I adore this. This really smells extremely beautiful. The neroli makes the vetiver smell so delicate. I can see why this is marked unisex as it's wearable for women IMO.

I love it!.
If you are a true vetiver fan and want no excessive decorations (eg. stuff like TDH is disrupting the vetiver quite a bit) Please go for this!

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.
