The Scoop
Majdal Sultan captures the warm amber and oud character of L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme Noir Ambre reasonably well, with a similar spicy-woody opening and creamy amber dry-down. However, the clone tends to emphasize the amber notes more heavily in the heart, making it slightly sweeter and less refined than the original's balanced composition. Longevity is comparable, though the original projects with more elegance and complexity.
Key Differences
Majdal Sultan pushes the amber forward more aggressively, resulting in a sweeter, less nuanced middle phase compared to the original's sophisticated iris-cedar interplay. The clone also lacks some of the original's subtle oud refinement and ambroxan depth, making it feel slightly one-dimensional in the heart.

What wearers say
“Beautiful smoky incense with a hint of vanilla. Dark, heavy, woody, sweet and mysterious.Has good longevity (7-9h), soft projection and a beautiful and strong sillage.I cannot believe that you're able to get this scent for this price. It's not one of those cheapies that are just "good for the price" but still not that good and you end up never wearing them.It is beautiful, period. Regardless of the price.If you're new to heavy, smoky middle eastern fragrances, I can easily recommend this, since it's not that challenging and you don't risk losing a lot of money if you don't like it.”
“Opening: White ashy smokiness, caramel, woody oud, middle eastern spices.Drydown: Wood/Amber/Vanilla/InkThe opening of this may be too much for some people. The smokiness here is a white cigarette type of ash. It has a sour and slightly musty characteristic to it. The drydown is very pleasant. Soft, dark, mysterious, spiced.”
“Cozy and sexy spicy scent. It is soft and coocooning. I do get some soft spicebomb vibes slightly and its a bit smoky. The price for this is a steal and really smells high quality. There is no alcohol smell. It lasts fairly a good time with soft projection. Its like a cuddle scent. I love it actually but the weak performance is a bummer.”
