Nishane
Sultan Vetiver Extrait
“Earthy, grounded, and effortlessly authoritative — the vetiver genre at its best.”
Nishane's 2013 launch — the brand's modern vetiver-luxury niche, layered around three vetiver origins (Java, Bourbon, Haitian). An aromatic-vetiver-woody unisex Extrait with Java vetiver oil, anise, bergamot, and pepper at the top, a Bourbon and Haitian vetiver heart with neroli and tonka, and a vetiver-leather-amber base. Performs strongest in spring and fall, daytime, 8-10 hours with strong projection.
