What does Sultan No. 1 smell like?

It opens with cardamom, saffron and chamomile, a spicy but bright start. In the heart, orange blossom, damask rose and South African tagetes bring the floral side forward. The base of amber, white musk and patchouli adds oriental warmth and softness.

The overall feel sits between fresh and oriental, with rose and spice balancing each other. Arabian Oud Mukhallat Shahrayar and Giorgio Armani Armani Privé - Rose d'Arabie have a close profile.
