Tom Ford White Suede

Mostly soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own. Underneath that, soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry.

It opens on thyme and tea, moves through lily-of-the-valley, saffron and rose, and settles on suede, musk and sandalwood.

• thyme: dry medicinal herb, warm and slightly antiseptic
• tea: dry and faintly smoky, closest to a cup of black tea left to cool

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.
