Vetiver Blanc

Vetiver Blanc by Sultan Pasha Attars is a masterfully balanced, highly refined attar that centers on a powerful yet nuanced interplay between tuberose and vetiver. The opening is marked by a fresh, green, medicinal-camphorous edge from galbanum and tuberose, softened by gardenia and neroli, creating a sparkling, salty, and aromatic prelude. As it develops, the tuberose takes on a creamy, slightly heady white floral character, while the vetiver reveals earthy, rooty, and slightly waxy qualities that are tamed and elevated by sandalwood, guaiac wood, and a pronounced ambergris presence. This combination results in a fragrance that feels distinctively masculine, vegetal, and aromatic—yet with an elegant, refined sophistication that resists clichés of either overly sweet floral or harsh, leafy vetiver. The drydown features a clean, musky, slightly salty ambergris vetiver that lingers with moderate longevity and quiet sillage. It is a fragrance that thrives on nuance, with a subtle but persistent aromatic depth and a sense of quiet mystery. While many praise its complexity, introspective quality, and quality of materials—especially the authentic ambergris—some find its intensity and earthy texture challenging or oddly aggressive, particularly in the initial phase.
