Amsterdam vs Ambre Sultan

The Gallivant city fragrance line is viewed as solid and well-executed with each scent successfully evoking its namesake city, but opinions are divided on individual fragrances. While some offerings like London and Los Angeles were favorites, others like Istanbul and Tokyo received lukewarm to negative feedback, suggesting inconsistency across the collection.

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.
