Which Should You Buy?
Sultana is a divisive, powerhouse oriental that is either a gorgeous, sensual oud-rose or an overpowering 'old-lady' scent that demands attention. Definitely not for the faint of heart, it's a bold statement for those who dare.
A budget riff on Ormonde Jayne's Nawab of Oudh - Fire & Spice keeps the citrus-cardamom opening and rose-spice heart but simplifies the original's aldehydic complexity, leaning heavier and sweeter on oud and losing some of the niche original's polish.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its 'powerhouse' projection and 'lasts forever' longevity, Sultana is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its strong oriental profile can shine without overwhelming those around you. It's too potent for casual wear or the office, but perfect for dates or formal events where you want to make an impression.
