Price: £96 - £75
Bottle: 1920s-inspired, quite masculine and minimal but looks understated and luxe.
Top Notes: Coriander, Patchouli, Bay leaf
Heart Notes: Amber, Angelica root, Myrtle
Base Notes: Vanilla, Sandalwood, Benzoin
Occasion: This is definitely more of a night time perfume but would work well both in winter and summer.
Overall Verdict: This is now my signature scent; after years of looking for one.
Maybe it's my love of Morocco that has influenced my preference for this scent as the creation of Ambre Sultan was inspired by a piece of Amber offered as a gift to Serge Lutens on his first journey to Marrakech in 1968. For several years Lutens kept the precious gift in a burr thuya box and over time, the two became inextricably linked.
It's a very spicy, sensual scent and not for the faint-hearted. It does have a slightly masculine quality, but if you have the confidence to carry it off - do it! This scent lasts hours and hours and starts off with a sweet, almost medicinal smell which later develops into a warm and sexy amber, finishing with a heady, sweet vanilla.
It's really unusual and will get you a lot of compliments - just be sparing as it could get overpowering and body heat will intensify this exotic scent. Serge Lutens fragrances are renowned for their unique and surprising qualities, so if you like to stand out from the crowd, this is for you.
