Perfume Lubna Eau de Perfume Sultan Essancy

Lubna by Sultan Essancy – Eau de Parfum

Rum, incense and tobacco on amber-vanilla – oriental, warm, clear

Lubna by Sultan Essancy is an oriental perfume for women and men that blends rum, incense and tobacco with an ambery tonka bean and vanilla base. From the very first moment, the fragrance feels warm and resinous, gains tension through citrus zest and spices, and settles into a calm, balsamic finish. If you are looking for an amber-vanilla scent that is not only sweet, but also shows dry resins and a tobacco-like depth, Lubna offers a direction with a clear signature.

Right from the start, it becomes clear that Lubna works with contrasts that truly fit together. Dark rum warmth meets dry olibanum incense, tart bitter orange meets spice, and a light tobacco note meets creamy sandalwood. The fragrance stays balanced: rich, but not overloaded; warm, but not sticky; spicy, but not sharp.

The opening: rum warmth, olibanum and tart citrus zest

The opening is dark and luminous. Rum lays down a warm, gently sweet note that suggests an amber-like depth. Olibanum (incense) sits right beside it with a dry, balsamic resin character – clear, resin-rich, with a subtle smoky nuance. Bitter orange adds contrast as zest: tart, freshly torn, with that unmistakable lightly bitter bite. Bergamot and grapefruit add a brief, bright accent that opens the top without turning it into a classic “fresh” scent.

Cardamom, pink pepper and ginger bring spice and definition. Cardamom feels aromatic and warm, pepper finely peppery, and ginger clean and spicy. The result is an opening that draws attention immediately: warm resin and rum, topped with citrus zest and spices. Oriental, yet still harmonious.

The heart: dried fruits, light tobacco and sandalwood

After the spicy start, Lubna becomes denser and rounder. A dark-fruity nuance of dried fruits makes the fragrance fuller without slipping into candy-like sweetness. This fruitiness feels concentrated and warm – it connects the rum from the opening to the next stage and gives the heart real substance.

White Tobacco sits at the centre. This tobacco tone feels light, leafy, dry and aromatic, more tobacco leaf than smoke. It gives the fragrance a clear line you can recognise. Sandalwood adds a creamy wood warmth underneath and softens the middle without smoothing it flat. The result is a texture that feels warm but not heavy: tobacco and wood, guided in a dry direction, with a gentle sweetness in the background.

Floral facets appear without changing the character. Tuberose, jasmine and osmanthus come through as smooth, creamy nuances that add fullness rather than becoming the main focus. Orris (iris) contributes a fine, powdery note and creates an elegant dryness. Saffron adds a golden, spicy accent: warm, with a lightly leathery nuance, very well integrated. It ties tobacco, sandalwood and the resinous direction together, without unnecessarily darkening the fragrance.

The base: tonka bean, vanilla, myrrh and labdanum

In the drydown, Lubna shows its amber character clearly. Tonka bean and vanilla provide a warm, creamy sweetness that feels full but not sugary. Tonka brings a softly almond-like warmth, while vanilla adds roundness and depth. Myrrh and labdanum set the balsamic layer beneath: resinous, dark, warm, with a discreet smoky nuance. These resins are exactly what give the finish its oriental core.

Patchouli keeps the base dry and structured. Cedar adds a clear wood line, vetiver closes with a lightly tart, earthy accent. Musk rounds everything off without blurring the character. The base remains ambery and resinous, but clearly guided – you smell tonka and vanilla, resins and woods, with a tobacco thread that remains perceptible in the background.

How Lubna smells overall

Lubna begins with rum warmth and dry incense resin, topped with tart citrus zest and warm spice. Then it becomes fuller: dark-fruity dried fruit nuances meet light, aromatic tobacco and creamy sandalwood, accompanied by smooth floral facets and a saffron accent. Finally, a tonka-vanilla warmth remains on ambery resins, patchouli and woods, with a discreetly tart finish from vetiver.

When Lubna suits best

Lubna suits particularly well if you are looking for an oriental perfume for women and men that works as an amber-vanilla scent while also remaining recognisable as an incense perfume and a tobacco perfume. In cooler months this warmth feels especially fitting; in the evening the resinous depth comes through more strongly. During the day, a restrained application is recommended if you want it to stay subtle. If you only prefer very fresh citrus scents or very transparent, light compositions, Lubna may feel too warm.

If you enjoy rum and olibanum in the opening, appreciate tobacco in the heart and want a finish of tonka bean, vanilla, myrrh and labdanum, Lubna offers a clear oriental direction: warm, resinous, spicy, ambery and woody – with a recognisable progression and without excessive sweetness.
