Habdan Eau de Parfum vs No 36 Amber Intrigue Extrait
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Habdan is seriously underrated, with a loyal following who call it PDM's hidden gem. It's a complex, classy blend that might not be a blind buy for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its unique spicy-sweet personality.
No 36 hits Tom Ford Amber Intrigue's cinnamon-spiced date accord closely enough at the opening, but the amber-labdanum base doesn't build the same discreetly sensual richness the Private Blend original is known for.
