Tom Ford Soleil Neige

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on bergamot and carrot seeds, moves through white flowers, orange blossom and jasmine, and settles on benzoin, vanilla and labdanum.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• white flowers: a general creamy white-floral impression rather than any one flower

It lasts an average amount of time 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.
