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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Magic Amber EDP
Magic Amber reads as a genuinely close match to Tom Ford Amber Absolute's labdanum-incense-vanilla oriental, and multiple customer reports say it outlasts the discontinued original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amber Absolute

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Magic Amber

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Resinous labdanum-incense-amber base is unmistakably a cold-weather, night fragrance.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Warm, smoky intensity suits evening dates and formal cold-weather occasions over daytime casual wear.
