Amber Absolute 
Tom Ford (2007)

Absolutely unisex but in my mind it's a gentleman like James Mason. Makes you want to be a better man. This is a thick, chewy and murky scent which lends itself to the winter months, as night descends on those foggy, grey, wintery days and one shrouds oneself in a thick heavy coat, to protect the body from the icy cold. Deep, dark, gorgeous, spicy, addictive, magnetic, balsamic not aggressively herbal, and so luxurious.

A waterfall of luscious amber. Very well composed. A classic amber enriched with natural resinshe amber is a dry and dusty powdery vanilla, which combines with the resins and spices, these natural resins mixed with labdanum and sandalwood. This is not as much a sweet amber as it is a dirty one. This is what you pair in the cold days, having people looking back at you whilst you make an impact. Performance is very good.

As others have said here, it really does open up sort of boozy, and just a tad bit animal dirty. That all goes away quickly, and AA becomes this powerful amber patchouli bomb! I get a little blended in incense, however I wish it had more. It's moist and thick like most of the TF private blends, and lasts all day. I think it has some nice similarities to Sahara Noir too. Very well done!

I'm starting a week of Amber heavy frags with an off-the-scoreboard home run. To be clear, I'm a big Tom Ford fan. And juice like this is why. It's big, and delivers a boozy shot followed by Amber accord and incense swirling around each other. The patchouli whispers in and out. It lasts and projects. The only down side will be finding 6 more amber heavy scents as beastly as this one.

I mainly get amber and incense. Very seductive and nuclear projection, longevity & sillage. Not my style as i'm not a massive amber fan but masterfully blended and surely one of the best amber fragrances ever made!!?
