First impressions on 13 Tom Ford decants

Fragrance Review

13 new to me decants arrived today just in time for the weekend. All Tom Ford, here’s my first impressions.

Costa Azzurra Parfum - better than the EDPs, fresher and a cleaner citrus scent ☀️ 🍋‍🟩

Soleil Brulant - not a fan. This one reminds me of the produce aisle at the grocery story. Soapy Vegetables. 🥕 🧼 🧅

Neroli Portofino Parfum - same profile as the EDP but with an overbearing amount of neroli at the start. I prefer the EDP. 🫧

Velvet Orchid - the top notes of Black Orchid without the gourmand. Hope the wife will wear it! 🌃

Rose di Amalfi - creamy, powdery rose. On par with Rose Prick. Very good. 🌹

Beau De Jour - I’m embarrassed to say this is my first time smelling this. Fresh barbershop fourgere. I get the hype. 💈

Champaca Absolute - I’m heading overseas to a country where this is still sold so I felt like I needed to know about this one. Late Spring/Summer floral. Very good. 🌺⛅️

Soliel Neige Parfum - like the EDP but with more sillage and projection. This one is fantastic. 🌄

Grey Vetiver Parfum - fresher and smoother than the EDP. A little less green. 🍃

Noir - OK OK. I like this one. It gives me smooooth barbershop. 💇🏻

Bois Marocain - this one fits in with the rest of his woods. Warm woody with a little spice. It reminds me of sitting on a 1970’s corduroy sofa watching an old school tube television. 📺

Oud Wood Parfum - 🤦🏻 fml I don’t need another TF private line parfum to buy. It’s good. 🎩

Figue Erotique - oooooooh. Tommy boy is back. Green fig, slightly spiced. Feminine. 💃🏻

Favorites: Oud Wood Parfum, Figue Erotique, Champaca Absolute.

Least favorite; Soliel Brulant
