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

Best For:

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.

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.
