Tom Ford – Private Blend Tuscan Leather

Posted by dulwichmum on Fri 17 December 2010

Name of product: Tom Ford – Private Blend Tuscan Leather

Price: £115 for 50ml Eu de Parfum

The blurb: A Chypre blend of notes brings a raw, yet reserved sensuality to this original take on a classic leather scent. Saffron, Raspberry and Thyme open to Olibanum and Night Blooming Jasmine. Leather, Black suede and Amberwood add an intricate richness

First impressions: This is a very interesting scent, which was rather a surprise at first as it is like no fragrance I had ever encountered. I was initially not convinced as it is so unusual, complex and smokey

Initial application provides a raw slightly sweet woody/tobacco smoke, it is slightly potent, but not overpowering, to begin and soon mellows out to give a sexy masculine fragrance. the dry smokey fragrance with a sweet overtones lasts for most of the day and is a truely sexy signature scent – what did I expect from Tom Ford?

Ease of Use: Apply after shaving! – It is aftershave, what did you expect me to say?

Pros: Long lasting. My man applies it first thing in the morning and although it is not overpowering, the scent linger throughout the day – a sign of great quality in my opinion. I have to say, I completely adore this scent. It reminds me of The Garrick Club, the smell of old leather, cigars, sexy intelligent men… my husband (prrr)

Cons: Promise me that when you try this, you will give it a chance to develop? It is stunningly good if you allow it to settle!

Value for money:. The price tag is not cheap, but this is Tom Ford Private Blend! A signature scent he will be delighted to wear

Dulwichmum verdict:
