These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Reviewed profile

Earthy vetiver led by bright bergamot, with tonka and leather adding a faint warmth beneath. Dry and cool, it reads clean and rooted, more green than sweet.

How Sultan Vetiver smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Sultan Vetiver keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin.

Reviewed profile. This profile has received a focused catalogue review.

Warmthcool, open0.32

Sultan Vetiver reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 23rd percentile for warmth across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.46

Sultan Vetiver sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 39th percentile for projection across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.36

Sultan Vetiver sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available.

Texturebalanced0.52

Sultan Vetiver carries body without weight, present without filling a room. That is 57th percentile for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.05

Sultan Vetiver keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for sweetness across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
