Tom Ford White Suede EDP 50ml

Description

In september 2009, Tom Ford presented the collection of White Musk collections that contained four new fragrances. Urban Musk, White Suede, Musk Pure, Jasmine Musk. The collection is based upon the essence of musk, which is one of the favorite ingredient of Tom Ford. This fragrances are very feminine, a little bit lighter by color and by composition comparing to the previous editions.

White Suede is blended out of rose, saffron, thyme, mate tea, olibanum, lily of the valley, amber, suede and sandalwood.

The first three fragrances were created in the cooperation with Givaudan Perfumers, while White Suede was composed with Firmenich. The fragrances are available in modern and elegant bottles of 50ml.

White Suede is, first of all, basically a musk scent, and like many musk scents, it is a skin scent. Most of you will know that means it settles into a low-level projection in the drydown phase. The style of recent fragrances (at least of many of them) is what people term, perhaps euphemistically, “light.” This Tom Ford seems to match that description, but only after a fairly strong come-on.

The list for the pyramid (according to Fragrantica) is: rose, saffron, thyme, mate tea, olibanum, lily-of-the-valley, amber, suede and sandalwood. The saffron and yerba mate notes are definitely there for the modern sensibility; but Tom Ford is sensible enough to keep some ‘oomph’ in the juice with old standbys such as rose, incense, lily of the valley, amber, and sandalwood. These are particularly important in the drydown, where a kind of ambery-oriental effect is the last shimmer of the accords. The thyme is not evident to my nose, except perhaps very briefly in the initial blast.
