So ridiculed skillfully remaining ingredients to serve this amber and take it out to the fullest. animalic that’s very clear , but too grainy for the same on the opposite of what I was afraid. Frankincense past fragrant charm and history. During my research I knew that Frankincense has been traded on the Arabian Peninsula and in North Africa for more than 5000 years. A mural depicting sacks of frankincense traded from the Land of Punt adorns the walls of the temple of ancient Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut, who died circa 1458 BC. (include part of Yemen and Djibouti and Eritrea and Somalia) to decorate the walls of temples and used by Jewish religious ritual.

He also argued that the scepter of Osiris, which is usually interpreted as either a flail or a flabellum. And it mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible as a component of holy incense components.

A Symphony of Sensuality In the world of perfumery, where scents often whisper and occasionally shout, Amber Absolute by Tom Ford sings with a resplendent, soulful melody. Crafted by the illustrious perfumer Christophe Laudamiel, this fragrance is an ode to the timeless allure of amber, a golden essence that captures the very soul of luxury. From the very first breath, Amber Absolute envelops you in a cloud of enchanting incense. This is no ordinary incense; it is an ethereal ribbon of smoke that swirls and dances, conjuring visions of sacred rituals and ancient temples. It winds its way through the senses with a haunting, almost mystical grace, setting the stage for the opulent journey to come. As the scent unfolds, the deep, intoxicating embrace of labdanum begins to reveal itself. This resin, rich and slightly sweet, weaves an intricate tapestry of warmth and comfort, akin to stepping into an ancient forest where every step is cushioned by fallen leaves, and the air is filled with whispers of forgotten tales. Labdanum adds a luscious depth, a resinous richness that feels both primal and sophisticated. At the heart of this olfactory masterpiece lies Ambreine, casting a golden glow that is both soft and enduring. It is a rare and precious element, reminiscent of amber's fossilized beauty, capturing the essence of time itself. This heart note beats steadily, a constant reminder of the perfume's core: a profound, almost spiritual depth that resonates with the soul, embracing you in a warm, honeyed embrace. Christophe Laudamiel, the genius behind this creation, deserves accolades for his artistic vision. A maestro of scent, Laudamiel has crafted numerous masterpieces that stand as testament to his unparalleled talent. His ability to blend complex ingredients into harmonious symphonies is nothing short of alchemical. His portfolio includes iconic fragrances such as Estée Lauder's ''Youth Dew Amber Nude'' , Ralph Lauren's ''Polo Blue'' and the ubiquitous ''Fierce'' by Abercrombie&Fitch ,each a testament to his innovative and transformative approach to perfumery. Not only is Laudamiel a virtuoso in his craft, but he is also a passionate educator. He is remarkably open about the intricacies of perfumery, seeking to demystify the art and educate people about the nuanced world of scents. Through his efforts, he inspires both budding perfumers and enthusiasts to delve deeper into the aromatic tapestry that defines this timeless craft. Amber Absolute showcases Laudamiel's extraordinary skill. His meticulous blending of these exquisite ingredients results in a fragrance that is both complex and harmonious. Each note is carefully placed, creating a symphony that lingers on the skin like a whispered promise, an alluring presence that is both captivating and irresistible.

جَاءَتْ مُعَذِّبَتِي فِي غَيْهَبِ الغَسَقِ كَأنَّهَا الكَوْكَبُ الدُرِيُّ فِي الأُفُقِ فَقُلْتُ نَوَّرْتِنِي يَا خَيْرَ زَائِرَةٍ أمَا خَشِيتِ مِنَ الحُرَّاسِ فِي الطُّرُقِ فَجَاوَبَتْنِي وَ دَمْعُ العَيْنِ يَسْبِقُهَا مَنْ يَرْكَبُ البَحْرَ لا يَخْشَى مِنَ الغَرَقِ قَبَلْتُها قَبَلَتْنِي و هي قَائِلةٌ قَبَلْتُ خَدِي فَلا تَبْخَلْ على عُنُقِي قطعاً لم تغنِ السيدة فيروز البيت الأخير� لكن غنته زجاجة ( العنبر المطلق) تحفة توم فور المعاد انتاجها حديثاً بعد توقف دام لسنوات. عطر حسّيٌّ إلي أبعد الحدود. إغوائي إلي نهاية المدي. الفتنة المجردة. فلا تعرف تريد أن ترتديه فتشعر بها بين أحضانك أم تريد أن تكون بين أحضانها و هي ترتديه. إنه تجسيد عبقري لفكرة (unisex) أو العطر الموجه للجنسين . إن حالفك الحظ في هواء الإسكندرية في سويعات الليل الأولي فاعلم أنه أوان اكتمال الحلم. هو العنبر دون شك و بشكل مطلق كما اعتدنا عطور توم فورد . فهو لا يريد أن تتنازعك النوتات أو يختلط عليك روائح أخرى . لذلك سخّر و بشكلٍ بارع باقى المكونات لخدمة هذا العنبر و إخراجه على أكمل وجه . النزعة الأنيمالك للعنبر واضحة و جلية لكنها محببة للنفس جداً على عكس ما كنت أخشي . اللبان ..

So what to say, this is the sent that introduced me to the TOM FORD house of fragrances. I have been wearing this sent since 2008 and as a matter of fact my decanter has a serial number of A67 (June 2007). I sprayed it on a piece of paper in Neiman Marcus (Las Vegas) while searching for a Robert Talbot Seven fold tie. I thought it was repulsive along with Purple Patchouli and left the paper in the car. When I returned to my car about an hour later there was this wonderful incense and amber sent that filled my car. Right then I went back and bought the decanter! For the last 7 years it has been a real journey trying to conserve the only bottle I had. I found that it is best during the winter months but will work during the summer when layered with Mandarino Di Amalfi. One spray is all you need because it is as extremely powerful juice. I still have 60% of the decant left to illustrate how little is needed. The hang time on this fragrance is unreal, I have under shirts that I have washed and the sent is still detectable! I have gone 18 hours and the fragrance was still going strong on my skin. While I have several others bottles from the house AA is by far my favorite with Plum Japonais a close second. Plum Japonais (PJ) is much more versatile that AA! AA is in your face fragrance screaming “you will love me” if not I really don’t give a *hit because I’m just that bad *ss, while PJ is just beautiful and seductive fragrance. When AA was released again earlier this year I bought 2 extra decanters on the spot! PS there is no discernible difference between the new and old fragrances. Tobacco oud does have a similar base (incense in particular) to my nose minus the tobacco note so I can see how it may have been made to replace AA. This fragrance is a beast and worth every penny!!!!! This fragrance does remind me of Christmas and like Lavender Palm (being LA in a bottle) I feel this is defiantly Christmas in a bottle :-) Update 3/15/16: So I've had the new and old versions for a little while and there indeed is a small difference between them. It's very subtle (and it could be the aging process of the old one), not bad but subtle. The new version is a little more wearable and a little less in your face. I only noticed the difference when i had both bottles sitting next to each other. Both are still worth every penny!

For those who care, Amber Absolute is back in store at Tom Ford boutiques. A 250ml Flacon along with a 50ml atomiser for £1500. And it’s the last reformulated version. Arabian wood and another one that I forget is back in the same format. I have smelt the original formula many years ago. And I’ve smelt the latter releases too. I was able to get a decant of this latest release. It is a shadow of its former self. Amber Absolute OG formula is one of the top Ambers. You can see the inspiration from Ambre Sultan. But whereas that goes into a more herbal and green direction, AA focuses on incense and frankincense. It is bone dry, Smokey and powdery, with a touch of vanilla in the base. This is what gives it a milled incense quality, with a heavy dose of frankincense . Straight out of a church. Dawn by Fredric Malle has a similar vibe in this sense. The way I picture it was if you to get a piece of amber resin and light it on fire like an incense that is probably what it would smell like, either AA or AS. Obviously this is all made up as amber doesn’t really have a smell on its own. But I’m talking about the amber accord we’ve now come to accept. These scents are challenging. They are not mainstream so I can see why they were reformulated to make them more palatable to mainstream tastes. They are very smokey and dry. Now take that same piece of resin. This time melt it until it’s gooey and syrupy. Then you have Grand Soire. Warmer, smoother and with the vanilla amped up a lot. What if you could take the best parts of AA (the smokey incense) and GS (the sweeter vanilla base) or layer them together. Then you would get D&G velvet amber sun. And imo this is the best of the four. It is the most balanced and the most captivating to my nose. It also has a resinous oud added in. Thanks to @we are legion below I ordered Soma’s Damber Wabsolute. It’s so good I ordered more bottles. It is indistinguishable from the original 2007 formula. Get this instead. Scent, project and performance are miles better than the mildly scented water TF wants to charge astronomical amounts for.
