Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Absolute EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Reve d'Ossian EDP
Prepare for a proper church service in a bottle. This is a divisive one - some find it absolutely divine, a true masterpiece of atmospheric incense. Others reckon it's nothing short of nauseating. You'll either love or loathe its strong, unyielding character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amber Absolute

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and extreme longevity make it unsuitable for office wear, as it can be overwhelming for others. However, the rich, sophisticated amber and incense profile lends itself well to formal events and intimate date nights, particularly in colder weather.

Reve d'Ossian

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its potent projection and unique 'churchy' character make it less suitable for everyday office wear, though some find it acceptable in smaller doses. It's an excellent choice for a formal event or a chilly date night where its warmth and depth can truly shine, but too heavy for casual daytime use or sport.
