What does Sultan smell like?

Fruits, Bourbon vanilla absolute, date and cedar open it on a sweet, gourmand note. In the heart, jasmine absolute, cistus and Moroccan rose add a soft floral layer. The base of saffron, Borneo oud, Mysore sandalwood and myrrh brings a woody, smoky depth.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is recommended mostly for evenings and nights out. It reads more masculine to most, though many find it feminine. Serge Lutens Arabie and Tom Ford Plum Japonais share a close profile.
