Welcome to Tahiti
Many fragrances at TOM FORD have unfortunately been discontinued...
Costa Azzurra, Fougère Platine, White Patchouli, Oud Fleur, Plum Japonais (what a shame), Vert d'Encens (same), Tobacco Oud, Tuscan Leather Intense... To name just a few of them.
It is therefore of course necessary to find replacements for them.
Tubéreuse Nue is one of them.
It is a very strong fragrance at the opening, a little "cold" in the Soleil Neige genre, very gripping on the nose, but also very floral, almost a whole bouquet of white flowers.
Jasmin is omnipresent for the first 10/15 minutes.
Sichuan pepper almost non-existent in my nose.
Just like Tonka, and later, the Oud.
About 45mins later you have the perfect clone of Soleil Blanc and its scents of Ylang Ylang, monoï and coconut...
A true paradise in a bottle.
Once drying, the fragrance becomes softer, powdery, with this little touch of vanilla.
Always present also this discreet background of Ylang Ylang...
Needless to say, the sillage and longevity are powerful.
Conclusion: A very strong and powerful fragrance, very (too) floral, which may temporarily make you hate white flowers, but not islands and their scents of monoï...
Do NOT buy blind.
My rating: 8/10
