Soleil Brûlant Tom Ford 2021

Yes what can I say, I like Tom Ford fragrances.

Alas.

Because the pricing and the durability often leave much to be desired. That's why I own only Lost Cherry and Black Orchid as a bottle and a few others again and again in alternation as a bottling or sample.

Soleil Brûlant so. Tom Ford seems to like the sun yes, is not the first fragrance with him "Soleil" in the name. I'm not really a fan of when perfume houses try to reinvent one of their perfumes over and over again or make some kind of collection out of it, because often the fragrances then smell somehow always like the original, just with ner additional note. I don't like that.
However, here only the bergamot is the same as in Soleil Blanc and even so I do not really recognize parallels. An independent fragrance, so to speak.

Let's move on to the opening. The first thing I notice is the pepper and tangerine. A lot of pepper. Almost too much, but just scraped the curve by the sweet tangerine. In fact, I had expected something completely different by the bottle design and the name, more in the direction of Scandal by the honey and the citrus, more gourmand, so to speak. The is but initially not so.
After half an hour comes good incense and honey to the fore, the slightly acrid pepper smell is then already gone. From then on it goes then also rather in the expected gourmand direction. Sunscreen I smell thereby not at all out, but I always use rather tropical-scented sunscreens.

Overall, a nice fragrance, I like the combination of incense and honey, such as in Oud de Carthage , so I find it quite portable and pleasant.
The durability I also find better succeeded than in some other Tom Ford perfumes, but the fragrance is definitely not room-filling.
Whether he will move in with me, however, in the bottle? Probably rather not, for that he is just too expensive for me, because I stay first with my filling
