Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Absolute
Tom Ford Amber Absolute is a divisive beast of a fragrance. While some laud it as the pinnacle of amber offerings, others find its powerful, medicinal, and incense-heavy character utterly off-putting. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent with beast-mode performance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Eau de Iceberg Amber
Don't let the price tag fool you; this is a solid amber choice that punches well above its weight. While some find it synthetic, many agree it nails a 'niche-like' amber profile that's perfect for autumn days and cosy nights. A genuine 'cheapie but goodie' if ever there was one.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
