Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ambre Sultan EDP

A divisive yet iconic amber, Ambre Sultan is either a dark, resinous masterpiece or a trip to a medicinal spice cupboard. It's not for everyone, but those who 'get' it consider it a warm, enveloping classic.

Our Verdict - Amber - Absolut Perfume EDP

Eden's own Absolut-collection amber oriental, built on bay leaf and resin over a myrrh, sandalwood and benzoin-vanilla base. A dry, dusty, powdery amber with a slightly boozy, balsamic warmth rather than a designer-named copy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ambre Sultan

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent. The dry herbal-resinous opening and warm, balsamic amber drydown suit autumn and winter best, with the deep labdanum-vanilla body reading thick on warm skin.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its complex, polarising character and intimate-to-moderate projection make it a poor office choice but a strong pick for date nights, formal cool-weather evenings, and casual winter wear. Lacks the freshness for daytime summer wear or sport.
