Serge Lutens 1993 EDP
Ambre Sultan
Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Ambre Sultan opens with Angelica, Oregano, Myrtle, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Resin, Amber, Benzoin, and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Serge Lutens's Ambre Sultan carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.
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.

When To Wear
Best 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.
Best 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.
