Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No 36 Amber Intrigue Extrait
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Essence No. 3 Ambre EDP
A rich and opulent amber fragrance, perfect for cooler seasons and formal occasions.
