Ambre sultan
Eau de Parfum
" This fragrance is not an Oriental, but an Arab and a Lutens. That being the case, don't expect it to fit in.The point of departure was a scented wax, found in a souk and long forgotten in a wooden box. The amber only became sultanesque after I reworked the composition using cistus, an herb that sticks to the fingers like tar, then added an overtone that nobody had ever dreamed of: vanilla."
1968: the year Serge Lutens discovers Morocco. A milestone date, and for him, a time of incredible revelation.
During one of his wanderings in the Marrakech souks, caught up in the crowd and the scents of the old city, Serge by chance falls upon a piece of amber wax which he purchases on impulse.
In 1993 the wax is retrieved, having been neglected for many years in a thuja wood box, to have its memory revived. “Ambre sultan" was unveiled to the Western world as a new olfactive style: a restoration of the authenticity of perfume through its raw materials.
Three decades later, "Ambre sultan" has lost none of its elegance, splendour and power and it remains a truly beautiful tribute to Arab history and culture.
