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.
This one's a divisive marvel. Lineage conjures up anything from a serene seaside temple to a full-blown fish market disaster, but you can't deny its unique, mineral-infused incense character. It's not a crowd-pleaser, it's a conversation starter.
