Tom Ford Cologne - Amber Absolute Eau De Parfum (2007)

Amber Absolute - Eau De Parfum


 

Fragrance Notes
Top Notes: Frankincense
Heart Notes: Amber, Woody notes
Base Notes: Labdanum, Vanilla

Amber Absolute starts the show with an unbelievable frankincense opening, dense, gentle and smoky. At the heart, notes of amber and woods wiggle their way in. This fragrance truly develops into one of the best amber scents available. Amber Absolute has a fabulous burnt caramel accord that dominates the heart of this fragrance and is warm, smooth and inviting. The vanilla base is slightly sweet and very pleasing, giving Amber Absolute a creamy richness without being overly sweet or heady. The addition of Labdanum assists in balancing this fragrance, but not in the typical powdery finish. It is more luxurious and plays more of a supporting role for the dense amber structure. This is truly a opulent concoction.

A little goes a long way with Amber Absolute. Sillage is very good and longevity is amazing. This fragrance can still be going strong well over 15 hours after application. Like a fine wine, Amber Absolute only gets better with time. Please don't make any hasty decisions within the first hour or so. This fragrance needs time to develop for a full appreciation of its complexity. If you are a true lover of amber, this is a fragrance that you shouldn't live without.


Sprays - 3 - ( one at back of the neck and then each wrist) 
Longevity - very long lasting (15+ hours)
Sillage - huge
Compliments - very high
