Vetiver Blanc

Eyeroll inducing. Head spinning. Indolic. Narcotic. Omg. This is vintage Joy Extrait made for the modern man (totally genderless). I have been rolling around in the most perfectly bloomed tuberose bulbs and I have smashed every bit of them from the root into my skin. So green it’s minty. So cold it’s practically metallic. I’m gone. Dead. This is so good. Can’t wait to let the sun open this up.

A green, icy tuberose, the leathery side of ambergris and crystalline amber give way to a clear vetiver accompanied by clean musks, elegant and tidy sandalwood and guajc wood. Basically a non-sweet, sober, smooth masculine tuberose. Definitely versatile. I get a low sillage but good durability. A simple and genuine beauty.

This is the best tuberose on the market period. Just the right amount of mintiness, sweetness, creamy butteriness, rawness, dryness and greeness in this magical concoction. The sandalwood smells so heavenly. All scent facades are at perfect balance. I cannot stop sniffing it. Perfect for spring and summer daily wearing.

The first few hours are pure bliss made of a powerful tubereuse mixed with the saltiness and the warmth of the ambergris and a super chewy vetiver. Then it settles slowly and focuses more on the vetiver side, the ambergris still radiating. Really delicious

This is a beautiful vetiver attar really nice also love the amber shining through. Maybe slightly feminine for me personally but if you like your vetiver you probably are going to love this one. Performance was solid on this one got 8 hours so pretty impressed. Although sillage was a real problem i got little to no sillage. If this had just even a hint of projection i would of picked a bottle up for my wife. 😔

I'm not a fan of vetiver AT ALL -- I hate it with a passion! I have very few vetiver scents in my collection. Here, though, the tuberose tames and mutes the vetiver quite well. Minimises the horrid vegetal STANK I get outta vetiver and highlights the earthy, rooty qualities. That said, I'm still not too keen on it, but I can see how well this one has been made. Great stuff...

This is an impressive attar no doubt, but the combination of massive tuberose and vetiver is complimentary but opens borderline unpleasant to me as it's SO waxy and thick and with the earth of vetiver it comes over a bit like a more floral vetiver dance Andy Tauer. There's a weird chamomile type note maybe coming from the vetiver?Interesting to note the quality and amount of ambergris in this composition. Tuberose materials are quite varied from the limited experience I have, for example a from Effleurage material has completely changed how I think about tuberose, and the same is true of vetiver it's not all about big smokey Java and Haitian stuff. The waxy, handcream effect is curbed as it develops though but it's still a bit relentless for me, white floral and vetiver lovers alike will likely be bowled over by this fragrance, it's superb, just not my bag.

How...How... HOW!!! It smells like MINT and gets extremely aggressive and even more camphorous and green as I apply it on my skin as if it was angry that I unleashed it from its container. It is a strange sharp green spearmint with medicinal woody camphor bark rubbed hard into my skin as if I tripped and fell into a bed of ivy. It is the woody dry vetiver and the sweet tuberose that are creating this sensation. My lord is this different. It is strong. This is an avant garde fragrance for sure but it is not the avant garde I like honestly. I do appreciate it as perfume art however! Lasts really well and is sinus cleansing. It is decent but not my cup of tea. 7/10

Vetiver Blanc is one of the very greatest tuberose fragrances on the market, period. It doesn't lose any of the overt power of the tuberose but it at the same time refuses to directly force any wearer to take heed of the most challenging aspects of the tuberose itself. Don't get me wrong, there are the medical, mentholated, slightly rubbery qualities at play in the opening of this fragrance, but they become secondary qualities only found when inhaling incredibly deep after the first 15-20 minutes. As they are calming down, the immaculately blended, slightly earthy and warm vetiver begins to join in the dance, boosted by the sandalwood/gardenia combo at the base. The fragrance at this stage recalls the character of a refined, and yet down to earth character befitting a humble saint or God manifest found deep within the woods, (perhaps Frigg is a good example here - her devotion to familial life, her nurturing, patient, and devoted nature.) As it dries down into the main part of the fragrance, the tuberose is given charge to be a little more heady and maintain it's crisp, clean character while still being intensely floral and maintaining the creamy character coming from the gardenia/sandalwood basenotes. It's almost as if the tuberose starts with a bang, quiets down enough for other notes to take center stage while the tuberose commits an extravagant slight of hand behind the scenes - almost as if the wearer has been distracted enough by the majestic notes at play that the tuberose has a way of sneaking in the qualities that have garnered the cult status the note has without the wearer having to trouble themselves of relating to the more challenging characteristics. The tuberose is such a wonderful note utilized here, as it seems to take and invert the composite image represented in popular tuberose-based fragrance while still keeping the 'essence' of tuberose in tact - it could be the character of notes surrounding it which keeps the rubbery/peppery/violent character subdued and yet keeps the white floral character from faltering into a vague/abstract sweet/femme effect that dominates a lot of the more boring fragrances that boast tuberose as their core element - there is a majestic tension that is at the center of the note, holding together all that is and is not in a powerful essence that simply calls all to come and behold its majesty time and again. The galbanum is underneath here as a clean green element giving the vetiver a boost in its reedy character which moves subtly about the middle of this opening, drawing the florals through a musky, semi-salty-semi-sweet and rosy while slightly smoky quality to the smooth earthy, damp and apothecial vetiver which while maintaining the quality that many mainstream houses use as a note synonymous with cleanliness, here that 'effect' is one transmogrified through a secret union with the ambergris and the sweet element of gardenia, and the headiness from the tuberose to create a strong heavenly effect, which is made all the more erotic by the very fact that, while these might culminate in a angelic choir, there is a distorted bass which provides the melody which the choir builds off of - that bass is the very self-same 'dirty' quality of the vetiver (which at times comes across nutty, and other times it seems like a 'ancient' quality - one which seeks to 'cover' the truth from the uninitiated) as well as the more mature elements of the tuberose, the 'sparkling' quality of the ambergris (which seems to read often asif seawater of a purified religious-ceremonial sort has somehow made it to land where these exotic floral and vegetal organisms have taken root) as well as a honeyed like quality that seems to stem from the gaiacwood, and a thick sensual musk which all combine together to create a dance like that of an exotic, tropical island of mystical lore, accessible only by dream, and one which leaves the individual who encounters it, heartbroken to have to return to the world from whence they came. Simply an immaculate tuberose-vetiver fragrance, which showcases Sultan Pasha's wonderful sandalwood-ambergris-gardenia mix in one of its strongest roles to date. Vetiver Blanc is a genius combination of two star performers, with a supporting cast of legendary proportions - if you are a lover of tuberose or vetiver, or a fan of white florals or aromatic woody masculines you are greatly missing out if you do not have a bottle of Vetiver Blanc. 10/10 LONG LIVE SULTAN PASHA!

Now this is gorgeous and I like it which is a surprise as I don't like tuberose in a scent but here it's blended well so I don't mind it so much. It does lean towards the feminine spectrum but not crazy so that I did not enjoy it. It's very nice! It opens up with a very fresh blend of tuberose, gardenia, neroli, vetiver and ambergris and smells floral, fresh and salty. The gardenia is done so it does not overwhelm which is a accomplishment as that note can really take over if not blended properly. The neroli note really lends a beautiful floral tinge to the overall freshness. After a hour or so when the tuberose/gardenia have calmed down the vetiver becomes more apparent and it's blended seamlessly with ambergris. You get that salty aspect with the vetiver and then the neroli just adds that gorgeous hue to the blend. And that's what you are left with to my nose in the drydown, a lovely salty ambergris vetiver that is made more beautiful with a shimmer of neroli when you can smell a waft of it drifting towards your nose.

This opens strong and almost medicinal super real Tuberose. It has wisps of buttery soft suede peeking thro and a hint of jasmine. It is very smooth and sophisticated. After 5 minutes it softens slightly and at this point I cant distinguish one note from another they are so seamlessly blended. After a further few mins I can pick out the vetiver within the soft buttery orris butter. Its lovely. Beautiful! It settles again and the ambergris emerges, slightly salty but soft and slightly animaly but this is the real deal Sherihan. If you've ever smelt real Ambergris you'll know this is not a fake. The drydown appears a little too soon for me but its lovely, soft elegant and definately not overly feminine. A guy could easily wear this and like all Sultan's attars, its beautifully done and a work of perfume art. Wonderful!!

Sultan if u work on longevity and projection I will stop buying any perfume from other houses and will buy only yours . I know u want to keep high quality but it's good if u make grade 2 of each of ur masterpiece

زهري كلاسيكي بداية ترابية مع لمسة زهرية طازجة دقائق فقط وتظهر رائحة أصماغ القالبانو لم يلائمني ٥.٥/١٠

Pure masterpiece! Sultan Pasha is the best perfumer in the world, in my humble opinion.

Would love to try a scent with high dose of REAL ambergris .
