Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan
- Authentic original perfume
- Try before the full bottle
- Travel-ready 3ml, 10ml, 30ml
- Long-lasting scent
Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens is a deep, resinous amber with herbs running through it. Amber, vanilla, patchouli, resins, myrrh and benzoin give it body, and sandalwood adds woody depth. Bay leaf, coriander, oregano, angelica and myrtle bring a green, herbal side that cuts through the richness. Shared by men and women, it suits anyone who likes a full, enveloping scent. Voters wear it in fall and winter, at night, in the evening and by day. The longevity vote leans long-lasting, and the sillage vote leans strong. Try a 3ml decant first and wear it for a week, then decide on the bottle.

The community verdict
Amber, vanilla and patchouli give Ambre Sultan a warm, rich feel. Wear time leans long-lasting, with moderate the next answer, and the projection leans strong in the same way. Autumn nights suit it best, and winter and evenings work well too.
