It’s designed to mimic the shimmer of sun on crisp white snow with notes of bergamot and carrot seed, and Turkish rose, which adds warmth. The dry down is a creamy, musky vanilla with added amber which adds a certain cosiness reminiscent of sitting round a warm log fire.

I’ve been wearing it for a couple of days and it’s very powdery on skin but in a really satisfying way. The subtle rose notes come through, and while I don’t usually like that sort of floral smell, the combination of it with vanilla and musk make me smell like I’m going for a hot chocolate in a cosy cabin after I’ve spent the day skiing (it’s important to know that I’ve never once been skiing and nor do I plan to). In short, it’s a truly beautiful fragrance that captures the essence of a cold, snowy winter beautifully.

In my humble opinion it’s a very welcome addition to Tom Ford’s Soleil family.

This new perfume is the winter version of Tom Ford’s Soleil Blanc
