Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sultan Vetiver Eau de Parfum

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 - Saint Rémy Extrait

This one's a divisive sniff, folks. Some call it an earthy, classy freshie, others can't get past the 'old car' vibe. You'll either get its complex, challenging dance between clean and raw, or you'll be reaching for the surgical masks.

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.

Saint Rémy Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, especially in the opening, might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its clean, woody freshness and interesting leather accord make it suitable for casual wear or intriguing date nights. The earthy, raw aspects lend themselves to less formal situations, while the iris adds a touch of unexpected elegance for a modern formal setting.
