Which Should You Buy?
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.
A truly polarising scent; some find it a gorgeous, profound vanilla incense, others wrinkle their noses at a "cheap chocolate toffee" or a "nose burner." Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a bit of fragrant drama.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
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
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong, often heavy opening and divisive nature make it a poor fit for the office, but its sensual and warming amber-vanilla drydown is perfect for intimate date nights and sophisticated evening events. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless you're feeling particularly bold and it's certainly not one for the gym.
