Unbelievable fragrance. Seems to be identical to AA and it is in the realms of Ombre Nomade in terms of strength and projection. The fact that someone can create a scent like this always amazes me, it develops so well and lasts 10 hours and smells different throughout. It smells like an old church. I really like this brand, Dan produces some great stuff and seems like a nice guy. This and Tokyo Black are such valuable fragrances of a bygone TF era.

As the name suggests, Damber Wabsolute is a recreation of the long discontinued Amber Absolute by Tom Ford - and what a beauty this is. A true embodiment of everything you could ever want from a dark and brooding amber scent, this fragrance is incredibly commanding and alluring. Despite having a strong presence of an Amber accord, I feel this scent is dominated by two signature notes - a rich, leathery and slightly bitter labdanum, contrasted by a dry, smoky frankincense. This scent actually has a lot of similarities to Roja’s PDLN1, however this heads in a more incense-forward direction. Recently I was able to try Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute in Harrods - the Reserve Collection re-release. I’m not sure how it compares to the original stuff but I think Damber does a better job of this scent profile than the re-release of Amber Absolute. I adore this fragrance, it’s one of my biggest staples for the winter.
