Most elegant tobacco to date!
Absolutely amazing! Straight up the most favourite from the Absolus Allegoria line!
Nothing groundbreaking, it is just Guerlain perfection in a bottle. There is some aromatic dryness from the tobacco mixed with deep, sensual cinnamon (not spicy) with prominent patchouli (another fav) and amber. Almond and benzoin cannot be detected immediately but probably the bitter sweetness comes from them.
I've never tried Tobacco Honey but I guess the resemblance is due to the same perfumer and yet - Ambre Samar is very refined and beautifully blended that if you blind test it, I'm sure you'd range it among Guerlain's Art et Matière line.
Similarity to TF Tobacco Vanille is somewhere in the dry down but nothing comparable, I would choose Ambre Samar if I had to. It is unisex, leaning feminine and IMO could be layered with sweet and gourmand fragrances to give them some extra sophisticated and elegant vibe.
