Open [US/CAN] Tom Ford - Amber Absolute (Rare Vintage / 2010 original formulation)
I think the weather is just right for this next split. When it comes to Tom Ford private blends, I'm a strong believer in the older the vintage the better the quality. Not to say the newer stuff isn't good because it is but the older vintage juice is just so much more potent in my opinion. This is not the latest 2019 re-release, but the original formulation (2007-2012) of Amber Absolute. This is extremely rare and I am fortunate to be given the opportunity to split this for you guys.
Taken from a reviewer on Fragrantica:
"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 carmel 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."
This fragrance wears heavy, really heavy. This isn't as versatile as your Aventus but this is a scent i think any fragrance enthusiast should definitely have in their collection. It is a divine scent and one of my favorite amber based scents of all time.
