Tom Ford Soleil Brulant

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on pink pepper, mandarin orange and bergamot, moves through honey and orange blossom, and settles on resin, amber and olibanum.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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