What does Sultan Vetiver smell like?

It opens with bergamot and Peruvian pepper tree for brightness, while absinth adds a green, bitter edge. In the heart, Java, Bourbon and Haitian vetivers meet tonka bean and neroli, which soften them. The base of Brazilian vetiver, leather and amberwood sets a woody, leathery floor.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter and summer further behind, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. Most voters read it as masculine or classic. Its profile is close to Hermès Bel Ami Vétiver and Goutal Vétiver.
