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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Soir EDP
This Grand Soir dupe is a bit of a gamble upon first spray, with maceration reportedly unlocking its true potential. Expect a rich, cozy amber experience that's a steal for the price, provided you can be patient.

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.

Soir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, long-lasting performance and rich amber profile make it less suitable for a typical office setting. This is a scent for intimate dates and formal evenings, where its cozy, sexy aura can truly shine.
