Metallique by Tom Ford (2019) - Statement by Sweetsmell75

I think I need to test it again... my first impression was definitely: how can you make "metallic" smell so good... then it gets softer... but I'm (still) ambivalent...

I would have actually ignored it, but now I'm interested!

It's definitely not something for everyday use; sometimes it annoys me, and other times I find it amazing. :)

Unfortunately, I don't like it. Even for me, it's too vanilla, overpowering, and reminds me of air fresheners. But if you like it that much, I swear by skin chemistry (which supposedly doesn't exist. I still believe in it ;))

Not this time for me either. It's not blood, but rather searching for a specific screw in a bag of little screws. =)

Well, during the second test, I also had a nosebleed because I read somewhere... I wanted to sell it... but I just can't part with it because I find it more than amazing today. Lily of the valley is usually my killer in fragrances... but not here. I can't pick it out :)

What about the lily of the valley?

Is it very metallic? Does it lean towards a bloody direction or is it more mineral-like?

Absolutely, my love!

It's probably not for me?

Exactly because of the aldehydes in the opening, Musk Pure came to my mind... not a scent twin, but a modern version of it!

I have Musk Pure here and I don't smell a strong similarity, maybe a bit of the aldehyde that comes close to the wax scent of Musk Pure. I sprayed the fragrance on today for a test and found something in the heart notes almost biting. The base was pleasant but very close to the skin. I’ll need to test it a few more times; I didn't find it that impressive on me.

I'll throw in my sample for you if you'd like... I would definitely test it if I were you! :)

Metallic is definitely not for me.

I do like it sweet... although it's not that extremely sweet... just for a moment, and then the white chocolate comes in... ah!

I find the "metallic shimmer" intriguing, but unfortunately, it's way too sweet for me.

but definitely ... it has something really special about it :)

Perceptions can be so different. For you, it hit the mark perfectly :-) I only found the base nice hours later. Maybe I should give it another calm test :)
