Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Intrigue EDP
Tom Ford's Amber Intrigue is a divisive beast, a luxurious amber that many adore for its unique date and spice blend, while others find it too safe or overpriced. It's a confident, rich scent that demands attention, but its value proposition is relentlessly debated.
Favourite
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.
