Favourite perfume from the first sniff.

This smells like the most delicious peach dessert ever! Sweet ripe peaches, a tiny bit of booze, quite a bit of patchouli, delicious warm spices, woods and some fresh grapefruit to give it a kick in the opening. What a masterpiece! Longevity is good, stays in hair for even longer (2nd day I can still smell it). It doesn't smell like ice tea. Ice tea smells cheap, this smells expensive. It better! Because this baby is VERY expensive. You MUST love peaches and patchouli in order to like this. Good scent option for intimate nights, as any good gourmand scent would be.

Tom Ford - Bitter Peach - Initial Thoughts

I sampled Bitter Peach today and wanted to share some initial thoughts. This is my first time doing a writeup like this, so hopefully it's somewhat insightful/helpful.

I have recently started to branch out in my fragrance selection and decided a spring/sweeter smell might be something fun to try. I have now been wearing it for ~6 hours and i have grown to like it more and more as the scent develops.

"Top notes are Peach, Blood Orange, Cardamom and Heliotrope; middle notes are Rum, Cognac, Davana and Jasmine; base notes are Vanilla, Indonesian Patchouli Leaf, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Benzoin, Cashmeran, Styrax, Labdanum and Vetiver."

Upon first application, the projection is crazy, even with just 2 sprays. The top notes work well together that almost adds a 'pepperiness' to the scent, hence the bitter name. The cardamom (peppery) smell comes through with a hint of citrus from the blood orange. I might go just for a single spray next time I wear it as the top notes became somewhat overpowering for me for the first 1.5 hours or so, which isn't a bad thing whatsoever, merely preference. However, since then, the smell has developed into something wonderful. The jasmine and patchouli come through the most for me and I enjoy it. It is now much fainter and like getting subtle whiffs of it are exciting as has lasted very well. The longevity is proving well so far. My current rating: 8/10

EDIT: Day 2 of wearing this and I love it even more. Upping my rating to an 8.5/10. I can’t get over the longevity, now had it on for 15 hours and can still get subtle hints of it. The base notes really shine through on this one. Amazing!

Very Special Peach

The bitter peach is a very special perfume, it is an orange peach bathed in cognac.

It is a perfume to use on summer or spring nights.

I am a lover of frutals and this is not my favorite but it is a perfume that triumphs on nights out.

The price is quite high for a frutal one.

For there are a lot of cheaper options, but this is a very good perfume.

Want some candy?

An absolute fan of TOM FORD fragrances (and the rest of the brand), i wanted to give you my opinion.
So, if you like gourmand and sweet peach you will be enchanted.
It opens with an explosion of fruity peach, rather sweet with a slight "artificial" side.
It smells like Haribo fruity peach candy as soon as you open the package.
Unfortunately this "opening" only lasts a very short time. (about 10secs)
A sweet sensation follows that lasts for the next 10/15 minutes.
Drying appears rather quickly to ultimately leave a soft and rather linear scent on the skin.
This is a fairly sweet, not overwhelming, but quite "synthetic" and in my humble opinion much, much too sweet/gourmand.
The sillage is strong and the longevity long.
When to evoke once again the drying, it is very fast, and rather strange...
A mix of peach, blood orange, ylang ylang? White flowers, a pinch of patchouli, Tonka...
All too sickening? It will be up to you to see.
As proof, this Bitter Peach reminded me of Angel by Mugler, or even a certain Kilian "pot pourri"...
A fragrance that is much more feminine than masculine. (I can't see myself scenting the peach)
The result is an interesting, if a bit odd, scent very close to the skin, and rather linear.
This Bitter Peach smells great, but i will not be adding it to my collection.
Why?
Smell the peach candy for almost $300? Mmmm... No thanks.
Also too sweet/gourmand for my taste, and the little known "risk taking" of TOM FORD did not convince me.
Bitter Peach also did not leave me this impression of "Wow" !!
The syrupy side adds a bit of a "candy" side to the whole that will not please everyone.
Let's not throw stones at Mr FORD for all that, but i have the impression that for some time his creations are affected...
Conclusion: Do you like the smell of peach candy and want to smell like it? Go for it
Does the smell of peach candy make you sick? No worries, because just with the price of this Bitter Peach, we are taken for pears.
My rating: 8/10

Initially juicy spicy-fruity, this slightly boozy, yet creamy/sweet floral-fruity Spring fragrance, settles to a gentle oriental-woody base.

The fuzzy peachy blast is spectacular, but the immediate aftermath strikes me as synthetic. the rum and cognac are MIA. long-lasting!

Smells exactly like the Trident Tropical Twist gum, peachy and a little minty, in a lovely way.

Syrupy sweet in a synthetic way. It's like a peach lollipop lip balm. Cheerful and fun for occasional wear.

The fruity sweetness is initially tempered by an intense tartness. When the tart notes subside, the aroma resembles a fruit lollipop.
