401 cedar, candied plum, vanilla לעומת Ambre Sultan

The community discussion does not contain substantial direct commentary on Bon Parfumeur 401 specifically. Based on the broader gourmand fragrance context, this appears to be a niche offering that combines traditional sweet notes with cedar for added sophistication, likely appealing to those seeking gourmand fragrances with more complexity than typical mass-market options.

Ambre Sultan is a divisive fragrance with a bold, spicy amber character that appeals to niche fragrance enthusiasts seeking non-vanilla options. However, its prominent spice accords and savory qualities are polarizing, with some finding them poorly blended or unpleasant, and it often loses out in direct comparisons to alternatives like L'Air du Desert Marocain.
