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 opulent amber that punches way above its weight. While some find its opening a bit harsh or get a headache, most rave about its smooth, rich, and mysterious drydown. A warm, comforting hug in a bottle, perfect for cooler weather.
