This is the Tom Ford Private Blend Collection fragrance that became the base of the fantastic unisex body range from the man himself. This spring/summer fragrance has a beautiful powdery, old-soap fragrance about it, but with a wave of wild neroli and a light hint of Jasmine. While this might sound florally, in my honest opinion it is definitely a man’s fragrance. Throughout the day, the lighter notes and fruits fade off to leave a sultry yet fresh musk.
Although it may sound obvious, I found that using this fragrance over the shower gel makes the scent last longer, but without causing it to become overly powerful. It even tested well at the gym: I find that some eau de perfums can become almost unbearably overpowering when heated up by the body. However, I found that though the scent definitely stayed present, it remained subtle.
