Sultan Vetiver is deeply divisive within the community, with some finding it a pleasant greenhouse-like green vetiver while others find it aggressively chemical and unpleasant. The fragrance exemplifies Nishane's polarizing house style of heavy, strident compositions that require sampling before purchase. Personal chemistry and initial expectations seem to significantly impact whether wearers eventually enjoy or reject it.
