Tom Ford Santal Blush

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on spices, cinnamon and caraway, moves through ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose, and settles on sandalwood, benzoin and virginia cedar.

• spices: a general spiciness rather than any one spice
• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
