Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sultan Vetiver EDP
Sultan Vetiver is pure Marmite: you'll either adore its intense, earthy, almost dirty vetiver heart, or recoil from what some call musty, mouldy, or even 'toilet freshener'. This isn't a safe blind buy, so sample before committing to its unapologetic character.

Our Verdict - Vetiver EDT
This is Guerlain at its most iconic: the definitive vetiver for many, a true benchmark for all. While some find it a touch old-fashioned or weak in modern formulations, for lovers of green and classic masculine scents, it’s a timeless masterpiece. Effortlessly classy, if you can pull it off.

Given its beast-mode performance and strong, distinctive vetiver character, Sultan Vetiver is too intense for most office settings. It excels in formal environments where its luxurious and bold nature can command attention without overwhelming, but is still versatile enough for casual wear if applied sparingly.

Guerlain Vetiver's clean, fresh, and slightly soapy profile makes it highly suitable for office and formal wear, as many reviews highlight its 'inoffensive' and 'gentlemanly' qualities. Its versatile nature, described as good for 'all environments', also lends it to casual settings, though its classic elegance might be a bit much for active sport.
