Starting with hot bitter spices and rich green notes. Many spices in a hot day and burning wood with resins. It's realy nice scent, warm and long lasting. I love it.

I love Serge Luten's Amber Sultan on my boyfriend. It drives me wild and explosions of spices make him sparkly. When I close my eyes and smell him he smells mysterious, dark, and I like the animal like naughty aromas it gives off. It creates moods and scents which others would want to embrace (not that I would let them!!!!!!) its very inviting and makes me want to join him on the hot sandy beach. Get your boyfriend to wear this one!

I was expecting Ambre Sultan to be a powerhouse scent, being that it is, after all, an amber scent. But it's really a sensual, nostalgic, and gentle memory it seems.
It begins dark, hazy and powdery, as if one has stepped into a spice market and had instantly frozen in time, the latter being a bit jarring because my senses felt like it wouldn't move any farther than that instant moment. You smell the wooden tubs and bowls that hold rich spices of the faraway orient. Coriander and bay hit a perfect chord to bring out a woody facet of the amber more so than its normally resinous character.
As the scent progresses, the powder fades, honeyed notes appear, making it rich, sensual, and narcotic.
At first, I thought I wouldn't like this scent because of its still beginning, but one really has to enjoy this scent for its different aspect on amber.

First I didn´t find Ambre Sultan that special, I tought of it as a warm, comforting and slightly edgy oriental. Nice, cozy but not amazing.
I tried it again, and again and... well, I´ve got hooked little by little. Not love at first sniff, but steadily a kind of friendship is growing. Ambre Sultan can go with anything, in any occasion and any mood or weather in my opinion. A beautiful, allround perfume... Warm, some bitter edge, spicy, lovely golden almost dripping wet amber, really nice, really worth trying. A must if you´re in to orientals.
Ambre Sultan make me feel like I have just finnished a delicious oriental meal at a beautiful oriental restaurant in an exciting and exotic town some where in the middle east.
I will probably start looking for a nice decant of this.
Longlasting and great on men to.

Fantastic scent. Bossy and warm, unique, but approachable, tough and sexy, at the same time, a perfume of contrasts. Starts with a sharp, strong note of aromatic oils, a beautiful resinuous smell, then it settles to the most sensuous powdery, gourmand smell. Very long-lasting fragrance and very rare to find, as well.

Medicinal, brash, dry and utterly gorgeous. I agree with the warm-skin-and-sea-salt image; it has a warm, resinous and almost salty aspect to it. It's a big and bold fragrance, so apply sparingly or it will end up wearing you. In the right amounts, it's subtle and enchanting.

Really, when I wear Ambre Sultan, I smell no perfume. Ambre Sultan, after sharp start, smells as warm up sun body, on wich they glitter marine salt. Very erotic, very warm, natural, oriental aroma. Beautiful.

This makes me feel regal and wrapped inside something soft, golden and red.
The perfume is not a shy one; the resins hit you instantly, and they go on for what seems like forever.
The composition is so balanced: there is just the right amount of every single note.
Absolutely beautiful.

Delicious edible scent. Amber and rock rose. Love this scent and it's perfect for cold weather.

I got a sample of this from Aedes, and it's great. Back in 1987, I had a friend named Viva staying with me for the summer. She was an ex-Fiorucci model, groupie, professional dominatrix, speed freak, and dabbhler in the occult. She used to compound her own incenses, brightly colored powders that would burn like a fragrant fuse when you touched a match to them. This one smell exactly like a magenta colored one she made that I love. This smell, for me, brings me back (here's that scent/memory thing) to a summer of warm, sunny days, amphetamine and sex-laced nights, all to a soundtrack of Love and Rockets, This Mortal Coil, and Hanoi Rocks. I first met the lady I'm currently in love with that summer (didn't see her again until last year, 20 years!. I'm going to start wearing this and see if she notices anything. Scent memory research!

Lovely warm scent. Very strong at first, with a spicy edge to it but it dried down in an hour to a warm honey and wood. Perfect for taking the chill off a cool fall day.
