The review

On paper, Lofty is a strong bet if you want Ambre Sultan for less.

AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ambre Sultan's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $69 per 100ml it costs 84% less than Ambre Sultan — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Value9.3
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on coriander, bay leaf and myrtle, turns to oregano, amber and resins, and settles into benzoin, myrrh and sandalwood. That is the brief Lofty is working from.

Top

  • coriander
  • bay leaf
  • myrtle

Heart

  • oregano
  • amber
  • resins

Base

  • benzoin
  • myrrh
  • sandalwood
For the one who wants amber with an edge, a resinous, vanilla-rich base cut by savory herbs of bay, oregano and coriander.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 3 twins of Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan we can price, Lofty is the cheapest per 100ml.
