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 - Genre Meeting For Men EDP
A budget take on Margiela's beloved Jazz Club. Genre Meeting captures the warm, boozy-sweet heart of tobacco and vanilla bean lifted by lemon and pink pepper, but without the original's rum note the boozy lift is gentler and the whole thing reads a little sweeter and flatter, the smoky-leather depth not quite as rounded.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sultan Vetiver

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

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.

Genre Meeting For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Warm tobacco, vanilla and a boozy-sweet base make this a cool-weather scent for autumn and winter; too heavy for warm months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its cosy, slightly boozy warmth suits evenings, dates and relaxed nights out far more than the office or sport.
