Tom Ford wanted this scent to be like the classic men's fragrances of the seventies, and with notes of spices, woods, amber and leather - he may well be on the mark.

new nighttime/formal staple for men, but this one's so good I'm tempted to start using it as a casual curveball and during the day - a rainy, cold, steel-gray day would be perfect.
Gucci PH is an unmitigated triumph. I was shocked that it was such a recent release, though it's original enough in its composition with the requisite creative touches to SUGGEST manly scents of decades gone by.
I made a point in my Azzaro PH review that there isn't anything really new, but now the subconscious becomes obvious - "new" is a very relative measure indeed. The meditative frankincense, the bracing strength of the cedar, the verdant earthiness of the vetiver, the gourmand-inspired top notes of pepper and ginger (coupled with a clovey, bay rum-ish spice that I'm assuming comes from the "pink bay"), the sweetish amber and leather farewell (made more subtle for modern times) all invoke past successes and hint at combos we might have smelled before. And yet...
Through the power of deja-vu and brilliant "nosing," this frag gets synergistic without delay. Even if it was a carbon copy (which it isn't to me at all) it would seem all the more original now that freshness holds away.
