Surprisingly Simple for a Tom Ford Scent
I really think this fragrance would work better for me as a layering fragrance than as a scent on its own. While it is nice, I already have something in my wardrobe that reminds me somewhat of this to a degree. That peppery citrus vanilla opening reminds me of Alien Eau Extraordinaire's opening as it uses the same notes, but I like the note profile following the opening of AE better than the note profile used here. I must admit though, I really love the Hawthorne, and the lightly powdery heliotrope is pretty too. But despite the floral notes this is really all about the powdery vanilla, and to be honest, while it is okay, I really would like something a little more complex than that.
Even though aldehydes are listed, they are very lightly done and just add a light airiness to this scent. So, if you have an aversion to that, you need not worry about that here. Personally, for an aldehyde vanilla fragrance, I prefer Dame's Vanilla Farfelue simply because there is a lot more going on and I find it very versatile and wearable any time. Though I haven't tried it yet, I'm not so sure how this would perform in other seasons as it has super low silage now. I fear it might just disappear under certain weather conditions, but I'll just have to wait and see on that front. Metallic? To me, not really, but I always have a hard time finding that accord in any fragrance that claims to have a metallic note anyway.
Right now, I only have a 3ml.rollerball of this which I will use it to layer with other fragrances. I can think of a lot of fragrances in my wardrobe where this might work great in adding a little something special to a scent, but I will not replace with a bottle after this is done. Surprisingly, compared to other scents from this house, it is pretty reasonably price, which I suspect is due to its simple profile.
