Unveil Resinous Amber Mystique: Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan EDP Sample
Embrace a profound, enigmatic oriental amber warmth with Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan Eau de Parfum, launched in 1993 as an iconic unisex masterpiece from the legendary niche house—crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake in close collaboration with Serge Lutens. This timeless gem opens with a bold herbal surge of bay leaf, oregano, coriander, and resins for a dry, aromatic, almost medicinal intrigue, then melts into rich layers of myrrh, patchouli, and sandalwood for earthy depth, anchoring in a lavish base of amber, benzoin, vanilla, and labdanum for sweet-resinous, balsamic seduction. It's herbal yet sweet, dry yet opulent, ancient yet modern—like sun-baked herbs and resins weaving into creamy vanilla-amber richness with subtle smoky undertones, evolving into a lingering, skin-caressing trail of profound sensuality in a mysterious, enveloping atmosphere.
It opens with a striking, aromatic rush of bay leaf, oregano, and coriander—a herbal-spicy medley that's dry, green, and intriguingly savory. The heart deepens with resins and patchouli, creating a refined, earthy accord that's balsamic, woody, and subtly animalic. It dries down to a warm, lingering base of amber and vanilla—rich, powdery, and deeply comforting—forming an enduring, magnetic aura that's unisex, sophisticated, and endlessly captivating.
Fragrance Notes – A Resinous Amber Journey

Frequently described as a groundbreaking amber icon—herbal-dry yet deeply balsamic, resinous yet vanillic, and eternally wearable—Ambre Sultan stands out for blending bold herbal-resin opening, earthy patchouli heart, and rich amber-vanilla base (often hailed as the original modern amber that inspired countless others, with a unique salty-herbal twist, profound evolution, and addictive warmth). It's a versatile year-round staple (ideal for fall/winter evenings or anytime sophistication, with timeless appeal for those who love complex orientals) that draws compliments for its distinctive sillage, luxurious vibe, and unisex allure. Performance is exceptional as an EDP: 10+ hours longevity (evolves gracefully from herbal intrigue to balsamic sweetness), strong projection (noticeable sillage with resinous-amber trail), and outstanding staying power—transitioning from dry spices to a lingering powdery-amber finish. Fragrance lovers praise its masterful composition, signature herbal-amber fusion, and confident sophistication, though some note the prominent herbs—perfect for those seeking deep, characterful amber scents with aromatic edge.
