Sultan Vetiver by Nishane is a masterful composition that showcases vetiver in all its natural glory. Released in 2014, this extrait de parfum is a rule-breaking fragrance that combines different varieties of vetiver (Javanese, Bourbon, Haitian, and Brazilian) with complementary notes of absinthe, pepper, bergamot, and leather. It represents the pinnacle of vetiver fragrances, offering a complex journey from green, aromatic beginnings to a dry, woody, and earthy conclusion.

The fragrance opens with a bold, green and aromatic burst of various vetiver types, accompanied by fresh bergamot and spicy pepper notes. The initial pungent character transitions into a more rounded, soapy heart with neroli and tonka bean adding depth. The dry down reveals a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver with soft leather and warm amberwood, creating a smoky and sophisticated finale.
