Nishane Sultan Vetiver hits skin with immediate intensity. Jorge Lee built this Extrait de Parfum around four distinct vetiver sources, led by dark Java vetiver oil, raw Haitian vetiver, and earthy Bourbon vetiver. The opening punches through with sharp anise, bergamot, and black pepper, creating a medicinal, almost rooty burst that shocks uninitiated noses. As the top notes settle over the first half hour, wet roots, green neroli, and dry leather take control. The base warms slowly through amber and tonka bean, turning damp forest soil into a dry, resinous, dark wood trail. It demands patience and cold air to show its best side. Show less

Dote White by MAIOS is an intricate unisex scent that leads with sharp black pepper and cooling frankincense. As it settles, it shifts into a rich heart of tobacco and cinnamon before grounding itself in earthy Haitian vetiver and leather. It offers a sophisticated, woody profile that performs best in cooler weather, making it a reliable choice for autumn days and evenings. Show less
