Sandal Amber

This is one of the most beautiful ambers I’ve ever smelt. It’s definitely up there with Amber Absolute. Actually if I had to choose between the two I’d chose Sandal Amber because it’s just a better and stronger Amber blend and it lasts. I am crazy about this perfume. I just wish I’d have purchased more bottles as it’s been sold out for almost a year now and it’s not coming back. Something about them not being able to source the same ingredients. So I wear mine sparingly until they get it back and if they never do, well then there’s always Amber Absolut which I have a bottle of and love. I tell u the truth tho, Sandal Amber is not a dupe, it’s miles ahead of AA. Imho it’s a unique and beautiful Amber perfume and I swear that I also can smell rose but no rose is shown. Regardless it is my favorite purchase of this house.

Perfect, gorgeous, masterpiece. This is by far my favorite from Parfums Vintage. They are expensive yes, but they don't pump out new releases like these cheap clone houses. They actually take the time to compose them properly and make sure they are perfected before release. This one opens up with a strong slightly animalic smoky incense. It quickly transitions into a deep, rich amber that envelops the senses. The amber then gets even creamier and richer as the sweet vanilla starts to come out. This juice is truly eternal longevity. Some of this juice got on my collar on a shirt, and for over a month now it hits me in the face when I open my closet. This is a must buy if you love vanillic amber scents!

This is an excellent value proposition when looking for an alternative to amber absolute. I would say it’s about 85% close to the Tom ford inspiration. The difference is mostly in the opening as sandal amber is more sharp & woody whereas tf is more floral, hint of incense, & powdery. However, my favorite thing about amber absolute is it’s dry down which is super powdery, and a slight sweetness from the vanilla. This is where sandal amber is most like it is at dry down with the powdery effects from Vanilla but it’s slightly more sharp from woody notes. Overall, this is one of my favorite fragrance in my collection

Just received this, so am still gathering my thoughts. But this is an excellent rendition of AA, really superb. I'm surprised how close the opening is to TF Tobacco Oud Intense, I get the same I get lovely wet cigar tobacco right off the bat. It's just back in stock so worth grabbing if you were still after it.

I’m was never a parfums Vintage fan! But on my second bottle of this..It was supposed to mock the long discontinued now Tom Ford Amber Absolute which I never got to smell & couldn’t tell you the difference in the two. But this is good stuff!! I own MFK Grand Soir and still happen to like this better!!
