これは教会のお香のような匂いだ。カトリック教会の香りしかしない。これを薦める人の気が知れない。

Ambre Sultanは、このフレグランス・ファミリーにもっと慣れたい人にとって、本当に素晴らしいリファレンス・アンバーだが、それ以上のものだ。これは、今日でも市場で最高のアンバーの1つであり、オンラインで見つけられる安さを考えると、本当に印象的です。これは、あなたが期待する以上に、アンバーをより芳香な方向へと導きます。琥珀のアコード自体は非常に豊かで、甘くクリーミーなバニラのささやきの上に、乾燥した厚い樹脂とパウダリーな森が山ほどあります。月桂樹の葉のような香りは、ドライでグリーン、葉のようで茎のようでもあり、拮抗するノートを完璧に引き立てている。このフレグランスはセルジュ・ルタンスのベストのひとつで、この値段で手に入らないなんて正気の沙汰ではない。このサンプルで香りを楽しみ、すぐにフルボトルを手に入れたいと思う。信じられないような香水がここにある。

If I'd never smelled Interlude Man I'd think this was the best amber ever, but it's very similar, but slightly inferior to the Amouage for me.

The first 10 minutes were almost a scrub situation for me. It was a cacophonous blur of heavy and biting herbs in resin. After 30 minutes, I started coming around on it. The unsweet vanilla does a lot to take the blend to a place that makes sense. I like the amber at this point and the warmth is very well done. Deep dry down is very pleasant but not as interesting and too much patchouli. Overall I'd find it challenging to wear this with any regularity. Agree with others that it's a little weak sillage/longevity especially given the scent profile.

I remember trying this few years ago and the power of the scent was overwhelming. It was so harsh and brash that I didn’t know when to wear it even if I loved it a lot. That time I wore quite crowd pleasing scents. I don’t like when so many (almost all) scents are diluted nowadays and they are just a shadow of their former glory. I have to admit that now Ambre Sultan is very wearable, it’s sophisticated and the notes are performing charmingly yet still opulent. Anyway it’s too bright compared to the older formulation - not only the color but the nature of the juice as well and what is, or what was, Serge Lutens dna, is gone. Almost all adjectives how to describe this are the opposite like it used to be and sorry to say but this new formula is somewhat redundant in my collection. I think I will give this one to my husband since it performs darker and denser on his skin while it still remains light enough for everyday use. Ambre Sultan is warm mix of Resins, Myrrh, Benzoin, spices, herbs and Amber with Vanilla and Patchouli which is quite hidden in the new formula. Vanilla in the new formula is more prominent than in the old one and it’s the note which makes this smell too generic. Old formula is very complex whilst the new one is linear. Some day I will try to find a very old vintage bottle just because it’s a splendid and sublime piece of history what comes to Amber scents.
