Ambre sultan Serge Lutens 1993 Eau de Parfum

This is the fragrance that sparked my interest in Amber fragrances. It opens up with a blast of benzoin, sweet but vegetal at the same time. I suppose that must be the coriander and oregano. This vegetal feel doesn't completely go away but it becomes more subdued as the vanilla and patchouli start to emerge. The styrax and balsam gives this fragrance that lovely sticky-sweet ambery feel that creates an inviting and long lasting bubble around the wearer. It is a gentelmaneely and a bit old school Amber bust still up to date somehow. More suitable for middle aged mature persons. It has great above average longevity and projection. 12+ hours.
