Where it differs: King's Vetiver follows the same anise, multi-vetiver and leather outline but comes as a smaller Eau de Parfum, so expect a thinner, shorter-lived vetiver than Nishane's dense extrait.

Where it differs: This Australian house lists the absinthe and vetiver opening but no leather in its published notes, so the drydown may feel cleaner and less dark than Sultan Vetiver.

Buy Sultan Vetiver ifYou want the leathery, ambered vetiver drydown at full strength.
Buy #163 ifYou live in Australia and want the absinthe-vetiver opening cheaply.
