Serge Lutens built Ambre Sultan as a deep, resinous amber with a herbal streak running right through it. The top notes read like an apothecary shelf: amber, vanilla and patchouli give body, while resins, myrrh and benzoin add sticky depth. Sandalwood brings a smooth, woody warmth underneath. Bay leaf, coriander, oregano, angelica and myrtle supply a green, herbal side that slices through the richness. Men and women alike wear it, and it suits anyone drawn to something full and enveloping, the scent equivalent of a heavy wool coat. Autumn and winter are its months, and it covers night, evening and daytime wear without fuss. On longevity the vote leans long lasting, while sillage leans strong in the votes. Wear a 3ml decant for a week, then decide about 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.
