What does Sultan d'Orient smell like?

It opens with pear, lavender and Ceylonese cinnamon, while Laotian oud adds a woody depth from the first moments. In the heart, Turkish rose and Damask rose sit alongside Indian oud and cedarwood. The base of tonka bean, vanilla, amber and sandalwood softens and sweetens the whole, with oud still lingering underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and voters rate its value for money highly, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. It suits anyone who wants a dense, spicy oriental on either men's or women's skin. Spirit of Kings Zaurac and Lattafa Amethyst have a close profile.
