Description

“Like a moth to a flame, he is captivated, enthralled by the intoxicating aroma. A honey golden glow hovers, becoming too enticing to resist. Exuding charm and grace, it allows him to peer into a window to the past. It is warm to the touch, almost comforting. Allure turns to danger. The trap is set. Now unfolds nature’s oldest drama. Predator versus prey. Entrenched, entombed. He becomes one with its host and he is now the trophy.” – a note from the brand.

    Just like with Fatih Sultam Mehmet, I feel that this composition is original and pleasant, but I get the feeling that this manner of making fragrance is more focused on the oil and not on quality synthetic molecules. I feel that their interest is more on the wow factor and not the base notes so the whole composition does not break down with elegance. The type of musc that’s used is so important in a composition and I feel that they’re not paying so much attention to that. I do like the scent, it’s quite nice, much more successful/done better than Fatih Sultan Mehmet, more classic perhaps with the rose-plum-labdanum combo. can’t go wrong with that.

    Amber Absolutely is definitely a fitting name to this fragrance. It opens up with loads of sweet amber, accompanied by labdanum and, to my nose, cinnamon. I do not get that plum note, which is a pity. This is highly reminiscent of Orca by House of Matriarch and a bit of Grand Soir by MFK. All are very expensive, you can get some other alternatives (I would actually get Grand Soir). AA lasts about 6 hours on my skin with moderate to soft projection. It is great while it lasts, wish it stayed around a little while longer.

    8:45 – Really dislike the sample sprayers with the discovery set.
    If I was more into amber/vanillic smells, this would be amazing. Nice blast of plum and current at first and then the amber quickly takes over.
    9 – Leans masculine to me, but not so much that I feel weird wearing it.
    11 – For some reason it smells like diaper wipes right now. Hopefully that’ll go away. edit: that’s the new deodorant I’m trying out, not the perfume. Luckily, but also gross.
    11:30 – Dry down is a slightly incense-y amber. Pleasant, but not inspiring.
    4 – Resprayed because I’m one of those trashy chicks who likes to make the whole office smell like perfume and this time it smelled like an oud and amber bomb. No cedar, a lot of myrrh. God, I love perfume. It’s so fun and unexpected.
    At 6 or so I got a “you smell wonderful! What are you wearing?” so, hey. Nice.

    Holy Smokes! This is a breathtakingly beautiful and staggeringly stunning Amber fragrance. I love rose, oud, and amber with Tom Ford Amber Absolute being my cult favorite and this thing right here is knocking on it’s door and ringing the bell. Do it a favor or else it will kick in the door and let it in.

    Coriander, Basil, Sweet Amber.
    It hits forst with harsh veggie slightly sweet amber then softens into a powdery sweet amber. The veggies consists of coriander, dill, & basil ut it doesn’t stay rather than 5 minutes, then softens. It has myrrh, olibanum, and the roses aren’t the dominant note in here.
    The drydown goes myrrh with slight veggie sweet powdery amber. I liked this one cause it quite balanced, yet kind of animalic although it has ambergris and no civet, castoreum, and the rest of the animalic crew is detected, it just comes from the myrrh, ambergris, & styrax. Quite interesting from the ones i tried from this house, and it does suit you if you are a sucker for an animalic powdery sweet amber,

    Amber Absolutely is my favourite of the Fort n Manle creations I have sniffed so far and in my humble opinion is the shining star of the bunch. A fruity Amber done right. Starts off dark and fruity, a combination of the rich plum and dark blackcurrant, a very realistic fruity note that manages to capture the sweet essence of the fruits as well as the bitterness of the peel.The heart is all rose like the notes say but it’s not a rose frag, rather the rose note just adds a floral dimension to the plum. It then segues into the ambery heart with musk and labdanum which turns the dry down Balsamic to my nose.
    One frag it kinda reminds me of is the long discontinued Escada Magnetism, the ambery grape soda vibe of that is somewhat akin to the Plum and Amber notes here. They veer off in different directions but they have that vibe in common. If you loved Magnetism like I do, this one should definitely be on your list. This does not project much and longevity is around the 6 hour range on my skin, not great but better than the others I have tested so far. It is the middle of a hot summer out here with 40 C heat so could be the wrong season for testing these out as well.
    To conclude, this one is a job well done and definitely full bottle worthy if I can find a good deal on one. So far, it’s the only one of the Fort n Manle’s I am inclined to do so and this is a “Love”.

    Black currant and Plum mingle with a sensual Rose in the heart which is elevated by a sweet cedar and soft hay-like vetiver note swirling around a succulent Amber resin; with a touch of benzoin adding richness to an opulent base of musk and leather-like Labdanum. Once all intertwined an elixir of some of the most costly of all perfumer materials accosting everyone in its trail with a scent which Middle Eastern Royalty would be celebratory of. Gum Resins which have been used in perfumery for millennia with origins from the Middle East have been taken by Fort & Manle and blended them with the sumptuous notes of plum and black currant so well to create a scent which is both alluring and majestic.

    Weak sillage and longevity, at least on me. Amber fragrance not that unique or special. I’ve seen this one hyped up on social media and after receiving a sample, not sure why. Not bottle worthy for an expensive fragrance.

    Amber Absolutely unfolds on my skin with an over abundance of mouthwatering plum, the richness of the introductory fruity accord is almost boozy to a certain extend.
    Honestly speaking, delicious is an understatement to describe this introduction.
    With in about 20 seconds I begin to experiment what I perceive as the infusion of plum into a veil of smoky amber, with honeyed resins elevating the richness of this opulent blend in the heart to another level.
    The long lasting base features a beautiful cedarwood that ties everything together to form what I will dare to proclaim as the most powerful offering in the impressive Fort & Manle perfume catalog.
    The layout of this blend showcases all of the beautiful aspects of what the perfect amber fragrance should be,
    Fort & Manle delivered an amber accord of the highest quality, rich, opulent but somewhat playful, projecting warmth and seduction simultaneously.
    I’ve tried so many amber perfumes throughout my fragrance journey, but very few have succeeded to impress me as much as Amber Absolutely.
    This is an easy 5 out of 5 in my books.

    Very beautiful incensy amber of the sort found in Tauer’s L’air du Desert Marocain. If LDDM’s opening blast is too intense for you, then this Fort & Manle offering fixes that with a soft fruity opening, and then dries down into that gorgeous LDDM drydown.
    I get some similarities to Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute and Ambre Russe, but they aren’t the best comparison. TF Amber Absolute has an animalic opening and in the drydown it has a far more pronounced, charred incense. Ambre Russe dries down to a fruit cake amber, whereas this opens with a fruitcake amber and dries down to the soft, dry, inviting amber of LDDM.
    Once we consider similarities within the realm of amber fragrances, it is closest to Tauer’s distinctive take on amber in LDDM.
    Note: Comments relate to the second formulation, which is contained in the new packaging in the Black bottles . Apparently both formulations are relatively similar but I never tried the first.

    My first try from my sample set of the house of Fort & Manle out of Melbourne, Amber Absolutely’s name certainly reminds me of Tom Ford Amber Absolute, a two-sided coin of a comparison and that elicits fond thoughts of one of my favorite fragrances but perhaps in doing so sets an unrealistic standard.
    That said, the comparisons to TFAA should end with their common amber dominance, as the fragrances are quite different.
    Amber Absolutely is loaded with amber but also a collection of bright, sweet, interesting notes that I love: specifically, honey, benzoin, plum, and rose, to name the most prominent.
    The result is a bright a fruity take on amber that is comparable to Parfum d’Empire Ambre Russe, but without the certain animalic vibe of Ambre Russe.
    Amber Absolutely, by contrast, remains primarily fruity with hints of floral and woody accords, with the woody acords coming out more in the dry down.
    Performance is very strong in terms of both projection and longevity, and this is arguably a more cold-weather-leaning option (though certainly not as heavy as some amber-dominant greats like TFAA or Profumum Ambra Aurea) but still plausible wearible on warm weather evenings, and not particularly masculine or feminine based on traditional norms.
    A 50ml bottle, the only size, is priced for 230 AUD (roughly 178 USD) through the house site, and I don’t believe this is available anywhere else. It’s not cheap, but it’s really superb stuff, love at first sniff, and I’ll be seeking out a bottle at some point.
