I purchased a small sample of Nishane's Vetiver. Im def NOT used to this type of perfumery, but Im kinda tempted to go for it bc I can see myself growing to LOVE it. I adore Encre Noire, but yes, very different! Was fun smelling Sultan Vetiver on my hand while watching this awesome review 😊
My SOTD was Hacivat after a long time today, I used to love it….but today, it absolutely churned my stomach….like what a dose of synthetic chemical sludge….
This is the one that got me into (niche) perfumery. Singular and unapologetic, love it to bits. Great vid. Never picked up on the amberwoods myself, but it makes sense considering its remarkable longevity.
Resprayed it out of curiosity. I can pick up the amberwoods right after the opening very clearly now hahah. Thing is, when it melds with the leather I get a "pissy" vibe which I've always enjoyed in SV. Thanks for the eye-opener! @@RamseytheRam
I have heard many people say that they had to smell this one a few times to appreciate it, but I did not have to. I loved it from the minute I smelled it! I love Nishane, and I tend to enjoy the different scents as much or more than their more mainstream scents. Unutman is another challenging scent they produce, and I enjoy it as well. Actually, the only ones I don't enjoy from the house are the fresher ones. I can only enjoy them around the house because no one else can stand to smell it, but that's ok. P.S. I also enjoy Guerlain Vetiver as well, for the record.
Great review, cheers. I bought this and really enjoyed it. However, it actually gave me migraine on more than one occassion and put me in bed with the curtains closed. I love the absinthe opening. It's a shame I had to sell it. It is really interesting though. Munegu (of the same line) is also interesting.
Nishane fragrances you will always find almost at 40% less price than retail in the secondary market (not that you desperately hunting for them 😅)!! I had 16 of them, used be a big of fan of the house, now ended up keeping only 8! Nefs Sultan Vetiver Wulong Cha Ambra Calabria Hacivat Ani Karagoz Colognise (Extrait de cologne) Yes they have few extrait de cologne, don't really know what is that. They have a Fougere style fragrance called B612 created by Chris Maurice is a good one, quite unique.
@@pullingthestrings5233 Yes, I have a decant as well! I honestly don't enjoy it, smells really synthetic, there is no real Oud there I'm quite sure of it. Nefs is a better composition by the same perfumer. If you are looking for a beautiful (not barnyardy) Oud fragrance please go for Ottoman Empire (if you don't have it already) by Areej le Dore which gonna be released soon as single bottle not as a pack. A million times better fragrance at lower cost!!
@@RamseytheRam I own a 75 ml bottle of the edt and a 200 ml bottle of the EDP and to tbh there's just a very slight difference, the performance on the EDP is really good on me, I can easily get 8 hours every time I wear it no matter the weather. I wouldn't pay the prices they're asking for the edt TBH, I'd just go with the EDP and call it a day.
Stick with Hermes Intense Vetiver EDP for the ultimate Vetiver scent. It’s not expensive and lasts a long time and smells awesome from top to bottom no matter what the weather is
Great breakdown as usual Ramsey. I’m one of those snobs who finds too much loud synthetics in a fragrance crass. I even get annoyed by iso e super which I suspect is why I dislike Encre Noir. Vetiver has definitely grown on me too but I need it to be sans loud synthetics. Cheers!
Before I became one of those unfortunate sensitive ones, this one was in my top 3 vetivers. Now I find that woody amber-vetiver combo almost ubiquitous in vetiver bases, especially in citrus freshies released after 2010. Meh. I can deal. The more important part is how it sings in the sillage. Ended up selling my bottle in the end, but kept a generous decant. It's still one of the better vetivers around.
I love this fragrance, I blind bought this and as soon as i smelled it i instantly thought it smelled like Tom Fords Gray Vetiver but dirtier/dryer. but this you cant wear in a suit and black tie like you can with TF GV
I like this fragrance a lot, despite not liking any other Nishane. My girlfriend says it smells like a conservatory, and particularly the room with the tropical plants. Swampy, thick, kinda sweaty, slightly decaying. I think it's very apt. Ani sucks HARD by the way. Barf cheapo vanilla.
Funny enough this was my scent of the day, i absolutely loooove this fragrance and house my only dislike from nishane so far is ambra calambria it just fades away to Quick. When it comes to sultan tho wow such a love this one is for me. It was one of the first niche frags i smelled and oh man did i love from the start. I thin that its a 10/10 smoky dry opening with som sparkles to that sweet dry down with the tonka
Ramsey, Hello! It's been a minute but wanted you to know that the Mona Di Orio vintage bottle of CUIR is coming. Life issues have delayed me shipping it but be assured it's coming my fragrant compadre! Thanks for vid on this interest VETIVER,which did not really for me but is nevertheless a great VETIVER. I'd actually get it just as a collector for historical, preservation purposes. Have you ever smelled vintage red box Mona Di Orio VETIVER? I have it & really love her take on VETIVER. It's one definitely for the Fall. Ok! Great vid. Will email you when I get package off. A2!
Hey mate, sorry to interrupt, but save at least 10 ml of that vintage Quir by Mona di Orio for our fragrance familly member Rich Mitch. He would really love to try it and compare it with the modern one. That's very good leather fragrance. Bravo maestro !
Im not a fan of Sultan vetiver. It has a very sharp green opening. I grew up in India and back in the day vetiver was used as cooling pads which were doused with water inside evaporative fans. It smelled heavenly. It has an unmistakable smell. It also had a pencil shaving note that i really miss in modern day vetiver frags. They are just too green. I like the woody aspect of vetiver and the note of freshly cut grass really offputs me.
Great video. Is there an actual Vetiver in the Creed? Probably not, I sold it. For me it’s TF Grey Vetiver. Btw, I picked up the new Guerlain Vetiver in the new bottle, it’s great, a bit brighter but still true to its roots. I would buy the Lalique Extreme, probably the best value out there.
I would certainly think there is actual vetiver in the creed as vetiver is one of those notes that there isnt a true synthetic replacement for... most of the frags that list vetiver as a note use real vetiver from my understanding 🙂
Sultan Vetiver is not the love at first sniff for sure but it grows over time. Btw, the illustration on the postcard depicts the Topkapi palace, I think.
Hi Ramsey, I want to express my appreciation for yet another fantastic educational video. Your work consistently captivates and impresses, leaving a lasting impact. Sultan Vetiver resonated deeply with me. Its essence immediately brought to mind the delightful aroma of the Hamam, also known as the Turkish Bath. The fragrance evokes the invigorating scents characteristic of traditional Turkish soap, embodying the essence of the Turkish Bath experience. The way this fragrance captures and rekindles those memories is genuinely remarkable. I am grateful for your unwavering dedication and creative approach in bringing these delightful olfactory experiences to life through your videos. Your passion shines through and enriches our understanding of fragrances. I look forward with great anticipation to more of your inspiring content. Sending warm greetings from Istanbul, Turkey.
Thank you for a beautiful comment One of my buddies at work who smelled it said he thought it had a soapy vibe. I have never smelled the Hamam or Turkish Soap but I can totally see it.. thanks for watching & commenting 🍻
As another female vetiver lover, wear whatever you like (preferably test 1st). I've just received a sample of Vetiver Java by Perris Monte Carlo, me and my son both like it.
I’m a woman who loves Sultan Vetiver. Something about the fragrance reminds me of how nature smelled when my family took a trip to Florida and Georgia to visit family around ‘79 or ‘80.
I did finally get Krizia Uomo 80° too. Great juice on first wear. I was hoping for something very 80's bright green like Leonard Pour Homme. It reminds me more of a smoother Salvador Dali Pour Homme.

It's about the amount I got Sultan Vetiver for also.
I enjoy this one too.
Good for you Ramsey.

Ahhh sorry to hear that... there have been perfumes that have done that headache thing to me over the years but luckily this was never one of them 🤌🤌🤌
I fall into the category that really loves the house, my favorites are Spice Bazaar, Bozsphorous, and Sultan Vetiver
I recently managed to find a bottle of Spice Bazaar and love it. Munegu is great too.
@@benjaminleach8582
I have it but I find it a bit challenging to wear
Got a bottle of spice bazaar coming towards the end of the year 🙂
@@RamseytheRam Looking forward to that review :)
I quickly fell in love with Vetiver but I mowed lawns for a decade, so the association immediately drew this to my heart.
Yup I totally get that... i think most people have to learn to love it... its such a brilliant professional mans fragrance 🙂🕴

Never smelled Afrika Okifant or Patch khoza😳
I have been following you for a long time and I know your taste, you will certainly not regret it
Very nice video to go along my SOTD which is Chanel Sycamore, a vetiver i truly enjoy. Love the smoke to contrast the earthy aspects.

I am wearing sultan vetiver right now at the shopping mall. True, like a boss scent with lots of vetiver. My wife said it is like soap scent.
Yes lots of people get soapy qualities 🧼

Does it smell like Guerlain Derby? This is what I've heard.
Not even close
No one talks about Sycamore, a very clean and civilized vetiver.
Here in Sweden they do!
I want a bottle of Sycamore EDT so bad ... one day 😇
I love your videos, but you also poke my eyes out so much with all those discontinued gems (speaking in general)😂

All Apologies 🙏🙏🙏
Can this scent be worn in the spring and summer?
I wear it during spring and summer with no problems ...but that's just me 🤷🏻♂️
@@RamseytheRam Thank you. I'm going for it.😁
Do you think a woman could pull this off? It sounds interesting to me as a female vetiver LOVER.

Also Eucalyptus.

Have there been any reforms of this? And does your bottle have a black or white label on the back of it?
I dont know about reform issues with Nishane
The label on the back of the bottle as seen through the juice is white
