Six great reasons to visit the Ice Rink
There's something about the ice rink. Whenever I go there, and it's not very often at all, I feel genuinely happy in a very child-like way. It reminds me of my childhood and when my mom used to take my sister and me there. And I firmly believe that everyone should make a point of going at some point or another. -

I thought this chandelier looked pretty, and would go well in a guest bedroom. For only $*** I wasn't expecting too much but the reviews were rave, so I thought "what the heck." Well, they must have received a different chandelier than I did. Mine was hard to put together - it did seem that directions were missing - we forged ahead. The instructions said 8 minutes - probably took us about an hour. This did not include the installation, which was pretty fast, about 15 minutes by an electrician. The actual "crystals" (really glass) are not shiny, but look like cheap, heavy glass (think Coke bottle). And they are lopsided and wonky. Sigh... I am keeping it anyway because for a hundred bucks I didn't want to hassle sending it back. I'll probably replace within the year with something nicer. I will say it looks a lot better with the lights on, at night. The shape is very pretty and it is a perfect size and amount of light for the small bedroom, which is about 12x12 with 9 ft ceilings. It hangs down about 2 ft from top of ceiling which includes about 7 inches of chain.
This gorgeous chandelier arrived timely and was not that difficult to put together...the directions are lacking though, so it will take a little ingenuity! I splurged and bought it for my new California closet and it looks perfect!
Looks cheap. The website pictures are deceiving. These are not true crystals. Don't waste your time.
Very impressed with the quality of this product. All pieces are crystal (no plastic).Gallery Does appear to take some time to assemble. Haven't done this yet as I plan to move and don't want to waste time hanging and have to take down but it is really beautiful. Would have been nice to have a choice for the color of lampshades (not just pink).
If I had it to do over, I would have purchased this from somewhere where they did the assembly for you. It is too much hassle to have to hire someone to assemble it and to install it too.
This is a great little chandelier although it's actually slightly bigger than a mini chandelier and may even qualify as medium-sized due to arm length. Everything arrived in perfect condition and it was fairly easy to assemble although I am having an electrician install it.

Founded in 1984, North Carolinians for Home Education (NCHE) is a private, volunteer organization active at the state level, serving homeschoolers in North Carolina and beyond.
Homeschooling is the view that education is best when teaching and learning are integrated into the relationships and activities of the family.
The oldest form of education, homeschooling was legally recognized in NC in 1988.
Article 39 of chapter 115C of the General Statutes defines a Homeschool in NC. The Division of Non-Public Instruction (DNPE) administers the NC law governing homeschooling practice.
How to Homeschool High Schoolers
It is our goal to have the most informative website about homeschooling in North Carolinia.
Recordings of conference workshops & lectures.
NCHE is proud to share in the work of vast network of passionate educators who serve as authors, speakers, and volunteers.
There are many groups of North Carolinians who are working to promote or practice home education. Find home educators like or near you.
Middle and High school sports include Boys Baseball, Boys & Girls Basketball, Boys & Girls Cross Country (individual & team), Golf (individual & team), Boys & Girls Soccer, Boys & Girls Swimming (individual & team), Girls Volleyball

James and Tanya Dickens have been married for over fifteen years. James was in private practice as an attorney. Tanya was a successful salon owner, and an international educator. They both were workaholics driven by the possibilities of building an empire. James graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia as Valedictorian with a full academic scholarship to Duke University Law School. Tanya had opened a new salon in Greensboro, NC. They both were on a path of unmeasured success. Both from small families, they never dreamed of having four kids. Both being die hard entrepreneurs, they never imagined living a "Leave It to Beaver" lifestyle. Tanya had told James that if he was looking for a "stay at home" wife, she wasn't the one. However, God had a completely different idea of success in their lives. After nearly ten years of marriage, they decided to adopt a child, but God thought it better that they adopt two. One year and three preschools later, homeschooling became the perfect solution for the Dickens family. After becoming a full-fledged homeschool family and serving on local and state homeschool boards, they decided to adopt a son, but God was certain that they would prefer a little boy accompanied by a little sister. James and Tanya have served on the board of North Carolinians for Home Education for three years, and they are currently the president of their local co-op, High Point Home Educators.

How to understand lighting circuits
Lighting circuits are wired in two different ways, using either junction-boxes or loop-in ceiling roses. These days, the loop-in system predominates - though individual circuits often combine the two for the most economical use of cable.
Unlike power circuits, lighting circuits are always of the radial type: the cable leaves the consumer unit and runs to each outlet position before terminating at the last fitting on the line. Most houses have at least two lighting circuits - usually one upstairs and one down.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

BARRE A Northfield Falls man is accused of driving dangerously with his 2-year-old daughter in the car.
Jesse L. Hodgdon, 39, pleaded not guilty to charges of careless or negligent operation and child cruelty on a child less than 10 years old, both misdemeanors, in Washington County criminal court Thursday. If convicted, he faces a maximum of three years in prison and a $1,500 fine.
According to the police affidavit, witnesses saw Hodgdon tailgate a slow vehicle on Route 12 heading toward Berlin. When the vehicle turned onto Muzzy Road, Hodgdon allegedly got close to the car and laid on the horn, then swerved around him, missing the turning car by only a few inches.
A witness said Hodgdon then passed another slow car near the Econo Lodge and nearly had a head-on collision with another vehicle.
The witnesses called police, who located Hodgdon at the Cumberland Farms in Berlin. Police said they saw Hodgdons daughter in a car seat in the locked vehicle, which was not running although the temperature was around 36 degrees. They also said Hodgdon would not have been able to see the vehicle from inside the store.MORE IN This Just InJOHNSON Authorities believe a drivers use of a handheld cellphone played a factor in a...

Lordosis is an increased curving of the spine.
If the back is flexible, lordosis is usually not treated and will not progress or cause problems.
Call your health care provider if you notice that your child has an exaggerated posture or a curve in the back. The condition should be evaluated to determine if there is a medical problem.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. The child may be asked to bend forward, to the side, and to lie flat on a table so that the spine can be examined in a variety of positions.
Questions about the child's medical history will be asked, including:
In some cases, particularly if the curve seems "fixed" (not bendable), the following or other diagnostic tests may be recommended:
The spine has three types of curves:
A small degree of both kyphotic and lordotic curvature is normal. Too much kyphotic curving causes round shoulders or hunched shoulders (Scheuermann's disease).
Too much lordotic curving is called swayback (lordosis). Lordosis tends to make the buttocks appear more prominent. Children with significant lordosis will have a significant space beneath their lower back when lying on their back on a hard surface.
If the lordotic curve is flexible (when the child bends forward the curve reverses itself), it is generally not a concern. If the curve does not move, medical evaluation and treatment are needed.

text: Excerpts from talk by Brooks Hays at Democratic State Convention, Sept.17 1942 [handwritten] It is the responsibility of the Democratic party to lead this Nation for the second time in a great world conflict. The burdens that leadership imposes and obligations it involves must be cheerfully accepted. The virtues of party loyalty and party service are resources for the Nation's use. We must discharge the duties of leadership in such a way as to achieve unity - not division. Under our two-party system, the minority party renders an important service, even in wartimes, and its rights must be respected and preserved. That is a guarantee of the Constitution of the United States - a guarantee without which the Democratic party might not have survived the War Between the States. We can disagree with the Republicans - we can even enjoy exposing their fallacies, without wishing to destroy them, or hating and maligning them. The British phrase, "His Majesty's Loyal Opposition," might well have some counterpart in the glossary of American political terms. Like those who have preceded me on this program, I want to place emphasis upon our part in the business of carrying on the Nation's war program. History is repeating itself. Most of us have known only two Democratic administrations - those of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. Scarcely had Wilson's first term expired when he was called upon to lead the country into war. It meant the suspension of a domestic program that was full of bright possibilities, in the leadership of which Wilson was marshaling virtually all progressive elements.

We welcome back J Rocc for our 25th Anniversary slot in hour 2, having featured on Solid Steel back in 2005 and also played at the Solid Steel night at Cargo for the 'Keep in Time' release. He's a man that's also known for his Broadest Beats and for this mix he opens with Krautrock legends Faust and moves through similar 70's jazz/prog/rock territory with The Abstract Truth from South Africa, Lokomotive Kreuzberg from Germany and Psychedelic Rock from South Korea with He 6! Then it's a sharp turn into an 80's New Wave and a leftfield disco selection featuring music from Doris Norton (an 80's Italian Delia Derbyshire), Das Ding, Dominatrix, Klein & MBO and Visage, all mixed to perfection as you'd expect from the founder member of the Beat Junkies.

This 320 gigapixel "photo" of London is billed as the world's largest panorama:
from http://btlondon2012.co.uk:
The 320 gigapixel image – taken by expert photography firm 360Cities – comprises 48,640 individual frames which have been collated into a single panorama by a supercomputer.
If printed at normal photographic resolution, it would be almost as tall and as wide as Buckingham Palace.
Playing with the zoom makes me feel like I have Superman's telescopic vision. Although it's not a perfect image (there are some seams in the stitching and people/objects are sometimes duplicated) it nonetheless give an idea of the power and versatility that super high resolutions offer. Future filmmakers will be able to capture 16K+ video of an entire set or scene without worrying about framing since they would be able to view the footage in post production, zoom in, and extract whatever particular piece of the scene they want.
If you then combine this ultra high resolution with computational photography technology such as that found in the Lytro camera, all sorts of possibilities open up, including the ability to adjust focus after the fact and mimick camera moves without actually moving the camera.
Although it is far below the gigapixel resolution level and doesn't incorporate computational photography, RED has been working on a 28K camera. Hopefully we'll get an update on this camera soon, as RED hasn't said much about it since announcing it in 2008.

Shopping that happens when you finally get tired of eating crackers and/or are out of soap. May involve searching for the mustard, since it isn't next to the ketchup, until you find mustard next to the hot dogs or something else equally logical.

When one either doesn't have the money to buy food or the grocery store is closed, they go to a friend or relative's house and raid their pantry or refrigerator.

slang term for homosexual gingers for having unprotected anal sex with whoever needs to release and beCOME.
Marco got his mom to lactate in my tapioca pudding without me noticing and I ate it so to get back at him I convinced him to go grocery shopping with my gay ginger friend conner. Little did he know that the only thing they picked up from the grocery store was mayonaise,hot dogs,and a rubber chicken. Marco was confused as to why they went to a motel room. Lets just say the next day he woke up and looked like his penis either went for a ride in the rectum of a bloody babboon or his penis crashed into a red ant pile in the rain because his penis was caked in chunky crap and it had more dots on it then a winning grannys bingo card.

Can't Wait !
Here is the official trailer for Grand Theft Auto V. Grand Theft Auto V arrives September 17th, 2013. Pre-order now and visit www.rockstargames.com/V for more details. Enjoy Manics!
The Plot: Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
Still deciding if its Day 1 or if I wait for the usual buy 2 get 1 free that usually happens late Sept / Oct.
Every time i see GTA V I'm hoping it's the PC announcement...
Now I have to try and get my PS3 back from my ex girlfriend...
Thanks R*!!!!!
Yeah R* are total d-bags when it comes to the PC community as of late. I mean, we got a great (IMO) Max Payne 3 port, but they still seem to think that the PC is just a secondary system when it comes to GTA. I mean, sure, there are more console users. But if I were running the company, I would want it on any system that could handle it. Im willing to bet that GTA4 has sold more units over time on average in the last few years on PC thanks to mods and steam sales than on the consoles. Course I could totally be wrong too.

Cashless Payment Solutions
The world we live in is becoming more technological, more digital and more complex. Sometimes, this may seem like a mixed blessing. But technology can help simplify our lives. For instance, by enabling cashless payment – anytime, anywhere.
The number of consumers embracing non-cash methods of payment continues to rise around the globe. While mature markets still account for the greatest number of non-cash-payment transactions, growth rates in emerging markets have started to outpace those in developed markets. Consider this: currently, 9,500 cashless transactions are made per second worldwide, with an annual growth rate of 8 percent. Fifty percent of this growth is attributable to mobile transactions, with the volume of mobile payments expected to grow from US$ 172 billion in 2012 to US$ 617 billion in 2016. More than 360 million people are already using mobile money accounts; according to estimates, 80 percent of the Europeans will use digital media for their banking business by 2020.
We need to transform the linear channels to market into a more open and fluid trade environment, from touch point to transaction. A cross-generational community of digital consumers has emerged. It is time for business to follow them into the twenty-first century. Wincor Nixdorf leads the way.
.Wincor Nixdorf is bundling, focusing and expanding its portfolio in the cashless transactions sector, that offers genuine added value. Wincor Nixdorf has comprehensive technical know-how and understands the retail and banking payment processes in its customers' stores and branch offices. It enables our customers to operate easily and seamlessly in an international, digital and omni-channel world.
"Our aim is to provide solutions that guarantee an optimal customer experience and can do more than just process payments," explains Miroslav Pekarek, Head of CPS, Wincor Nixdorf.

You see them staring back at you in the mirror. They show up in your photographs, and you can feel them every time you run your hand along your skin. If your complexion is marked by expression lines, you may wish there was a magic eraser that you could use to whisk them away forever. While there is no magic cure for signs of aging, renowned dermatologist Dr. Frederic Brandt has developed the next best thing: the dr. brandt Lineless collection.
Dr. Brandt has extensively researched anti-aging skin care science and combined the results of his work with the knowledge gained through more than 20 years of private practice in dermatology to create the dr. brandt Lineless range. The formulas found in the collection reduce the depth of expression lines, while strengthening the skin tissue and protecting it from oxidative damage. In this way, the complete skin care regimen found in the anti-aging range treats existing lines and makes new lines less likely to form. Reduce the appearance of those difficult-to-treat expression lines by discovering the dr. brandt Lineless lineup.
Healthy, radiant skin calls for a commitment to a daily skin care regimen that will help heal and protect, promoting radiance and youth. Dr. Brandt Lineless is a comprehensive line of skin care products for everyday use. Dr. Brandt Lineless includes practical products that address all of the basic needs in addition to more intensive treatments for the signs of aging. Dr. Brandt Lineless relies on natural extracts to boost the skin's health while nourishing, repairing and protecting in order to minimize wrinkles and other flaws.
Dr. Brandt Lineless Cream helps extend the life of skin cells so that the signs of aging are diminished. This luxurious cream supports a healthy collagen level in the skin which is essential for firmness and good elasticity. The hydrating and calming benefits keep even sensitive and dry skin calm and balanced. Dr. Brandt Lineless Cream can be used for the prevention of wrinkles. A broad spectrum sunscreen should be applied after the cream has absorbed into the skin.
Everyone knows that aging affects the lips. Over time the lips become thinner with visible signs of lines as collagen breaks down. Dr. Brandt Lineless Lines No More for Lips is a deep conditioning treatment that helps to plump up thin lips, reducing the signs of lines and wrinkles. It is great to use under lip color for the prevention of bleeding and feathering. Dr. Brandt Lineless Lines No More for Lips is also a protective treatment which can actually help delay the onset of signs of aging.

Amber Absolute is a bit of a misleading name, isn't it? It does have a healthy dose of incense. It's a great scent, just a bit mis-named. If it's Amber you want, try Amber Extreme; that is pure amber.
Thread: Tom Ford Amber Absolute |
This was the first ever niche scent i purchased, blind by the way, and my initial impression..... huh??? sold immediately.
That was almost 2 years ago, and now my nose has developed and i think i kinda want to re-visit again. I remember it being heavy on the incense, reminiscent of the inside of a catholic church, I wore it only in the evening, and whilst wearing a button up shirt (i thought it was very classy given i didnt like it as much)
Im in the market for a classy, sophisticated evening scent, and i think Amber Absolute might be the one. Anyone else a fan?
Amber Absolute is a bit of a misleading name, isn't it? It does have a healthy dose of incense. It's a great scent, just a bit mis-named. If it's Amber you want, try Amber Extreme; that is pure amber.
ur right, i read somewhere it smells like fresh blown out matches
Amber Absolute is an incense, amber, vanilla and wood accent mix. I find it to be a great evening fragrance. But because it can be poweful, I tend to wear at most 1-2 sprays. There is a distinct incence, and I find it to be very creamy and inviting. Great winter fragrance. Because the Private Blends are meant to be layered, I don't wear Amber Absolute alone normally. I like to mix it with Tobacco Vanille or Champaca Absolute. It gains more versatility when mixed.
Great scent which deserves a more creative name.
Smelled it at Niemans the other day, and didn't care for it at all.
I'm a huge fan of ambers, and Tom Ford's I dare say, is one of the smoothest and well-balanced ambers to my average nose. Many ambers explode on me, and sometimes I like it to be booming. AA is the most well-behaved of my ambers.
I have been a fan of AA since it came out and always rely on it as a dark amber which suits me perfectly...I also love Ambre Extreme and cannot find any similarity between the two They are both pure liquid emotion for different feelings on different days... I wish the AE had a bit more sillage on me when I wear it. The one that wins from positive comments on the 'street' so to speak is AA by a long shot...anytime I go out I get compliments on it...
The first phase of Amber Absolute is certainly raw, woody & smokey with a good dose of incense, but after the first hour or so, it's a thick, sweet, deliciously comforting caramel-vanilla-amber. ln short, l don't think you can judge this one in one sniff, wait for the drydown! Along with Ambra Aurea by Profumum, this is one of the very best ambers l've tried, & has great projection & longevity. l'd say it's definitely worth revisiting. l got my 4ml sample off ebay.

"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
I love it big time , I find it initially has a huge medicinal blast which I love but alas this is THE one the perfume hater creates the most fuss over so I dont wear it for a quiet life ..... unless of course I want to send out a message LOL
So i went to Selfridges today and tried it out.... Oh My Goodness! (im to cool to write OMG, lol) this one is killer, one of the best Private blends, i also tried Azure Lime (wack) and Japon Noir (interesting....) but I think AA will join Tobacco Vanille in my collection, superb fragrance. It goes to show how much my taste has changed over the last 2 years.
Great news jlouismi, glad you love it!

Amber Absolute and Tobacco Vanille are two heavyweight champs that will remain undefeated for many years to come.
Amber Absolute is smooth and well blended, which I find is the case for most Tom Ford scents, but there isn't enough of a development for me.
I love it, good choice! enjoy it!
AA is very smooth and well balanced frag for anytime.
LOOKING FOR DECANTS OF ANY O. Durbano, ANY Hilde Soliana, BOISE VANILLE, COLOGNE POUR LE SOIR, MUSC RAVEGEUR, AND ROSE 31 TO SWAP:.:wink
it's a fairly good choice though not one my top favorites from TF.
Love it, very rich, creamy, and long lasting. Perfect for winter and right next to Tobacco Vanille as the number 2 scent in the private blend line....
I agree! My notes on this one when I tested it were "Old, stony church."
My Top 5!!!
1. 1740: Marquis de Sade, Histoires de Parfums
2. Sweet Redemption, by Kilian
3. Tirrenico, Profumi del Forte
4. Je Suis un Homme, Etat Libre d'Orange
5. Derby, Guerlain

One of the first Private Blends I bought.. still love it and wear often. Often layer it with Purple Patchouli.. for an intoxicating cocktail that always gets compliments.
It's being slowly phased out along with Bois Marocain. Apparently, production of the 250 ml flacons has stopped.
+1 i just recently got a 5ml sample of the some of the Tom Fords(Amber Absolute, Italian Cypress, Arabian Oud) when I went to purchase Original Santal from the local Neiman Marcus. I have been really hesitant to pull the trigger on Amber Absolute because out of the Private Blends I have tried Amber Absolute just really feels incomplete when Im wearing it. It is a very beautiful fragrance but it is really heavy on the vanilla and amber imo). Longevity is amazing though!! I may have to give it another few goes...
Yes, it is being discontinued, or "retired" as TF calls it, this according to the reps at the Neiman's I shop at. When I purchased a 250 ml bottle two weeks ago, they had none left, none were being shipped from TF, and all NM stores around the country had about 15 in total. It's already sold out on Nordstrom's site as well. The claim is the juice is too expensive to make. I suspect that to be the case with AA, though I have to imagine Bois Marocain is due to poor sales.
That's why I said slowly being phased out. As far as I know, 50 ml bottles are still being produced, but from what I've seen and heard, the 250's are no longer being produced. The TF rep showed me their national inventory list of AA. There was literally 15 or so 250 ml bottles remaining in Neiman's entire stock. She had to call 8 stores before finding one for me. It's been removed from Nordstrom's site as well in the 250 ml portion. All signs point to a slow removal of it from the line, or at least a reduction to 50 ml only, since the profit margin in those is higher. Perhaps Jabel could provide more info here.
I'm hoping they cut it down to 50ml only instead of completely phasing it out..I love this stuff. This and Noir de Noir are my favorites from the line.
Damn... if this is going disco it would really suck. I am looking for my Amber scent and this one is on my list of next to sample. Everywhere I looked on Basenotes, Youtube and the fragrance community in general has nothing but positive stuff to say about this juice.
Ya I have no official word on this yet guys but will try and find out. I still have 250ml's but Bois Marocain is being retired from what I've been told.
It's a huge possibility, TF Beauty has two Account Executives and mine has been pretty busy with launching the color line at Neimans so I see/speak with him maybe a few times a month and it's usually just about how our business is and what can be done to help improve it.
My favorite from the private line, with Tobacco Vanille.
Outstanding longevity and sillage (12 hours later my girlfriend had to open the windows of the car, cause she didnt liked the scent and it continued to be strong)
I will be sad if it will be discontinued, looks like the betters from the line was discontinued (Moss Breches, Japon Noir now Amber Absolute)
One drop of this from a little sample vial lasts me the entire day easily and tends to off-put all human interaction within a 10ft radius. I decided to get 'back' my friend that gave it to me by putting just one little drop on his pillow whenever he sleeps over. He had no idea what was waiting for him one night; he couldn't sleep at all, and ever since it became a joke that whenever one does something to irritate the other, they get the Amber Absolute treatment
Just missed a split on this stuff!!!
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
Wonderful burned down house smell.

I never used to like this, like you it was one of the first niche fragrances that I bought and I'm not afraid to say that I didn't get it! How wrong I was. Luxurious, sumptuous and very dark. Best used on a cold Winter evening, so perfect for the purpose that you stated.
Any update if Amber Absolute is on its way to being discontinued?
AA starts off strong, but shines after the first hour. I sprayed this on one morning and could still smell it the next. Amazing longevity. I do believe it can be improved with layering with something else.

Sad news indeed..hopefully the hordes of AA fans worldwide get Tom Ford's attention with an "Occupy" type movement in honor of AA. Stuff like this makes me wish that fragrance had an endless shelf life so I could stock up. First Famous Dave's gets rid of their sweet jalapeno dipping sauce and now this...the world is not what it was.
AA is a great creation, and I hope TF will continue to make it available to its many fans.
Testing AA right now and I must say that this is great. But i personally dont think Id be able to rock this and wont feel comftorable wearing it as it feels like it should be worn someone older and with "experience" if you know what i mean. The incense burnt house smell is incredible though. Never smelt anything like this and perhaps will get this once i get a bit older but for now my focus is on getting a bottle of Tobacco vanille
What I was told recently by the TF rep at my store is that they're retiring only the 250 ml decanters of AA, presumably based on the cost to produce, and the profit margin is higher for the 50 ml bottles. When I was there last week, there was no 250, but a 50 on the counter.
Spoke to the Tom Ford sales rep in Selfridges, and he categorically stated that Amber Absolute was not being discontinues!
Beautiful, beautiful scent. One of my favorite dry-downs, right alongside Tobacco Vanille
I just revisited this scent as it has finally gotten a bit cooler here in San Diego.
I remember when I first go my sample and the first image that popped in my head was "apres ski in a chalet in the Alps, with a warm fire burning in the background." Surprisingly, my first impression was right on.
As mentioned above, it opens with a raw, woody, smokey - "fire place" vibe. I don't get incense, because I get more dry wood fire smoke than incense. Although, to some that is the same thing, smoke = incense. Behind the apres ski vibe, there is a syrupy carmel amber base.
The most disappointing part of this scent is that you loose the raw, woody, smokey vibe after a few hours. Although the base is beautiful and comforting, the apres ski feel is what really draws me in and makes the scent sure unique to my nose.
Top notes of... sweat, gasoline, motor oil; a heart of deer musk and gunpowder, resting on a base of sex and testosterone... Mandom.
Amber Absolute is hands down, the best modern interpretation of an amber fragrance on the market. It's almost flawless. I could do without the super smoky top and mid notes, but they counter the caramel sweetness quite well.
It also lasts like 36 hours! Great work by Christophe Laudamiel, the perfumer.
