This is an interesting journey of a scent. There is so much going on, but like most Tom Fords, they capture that chaos beautifully. I get the saffron, geranium, patchouli, oud, cardamom and I am loving it so far. Will have to see more on the drydown. Feeling like this one projects a respectable amount. How long will it last is rhetorical next question, but for me Tom Ford usually lasts most of the day. This might be better than all other Tom Fords to me, except maybe Noir extreme and Black Orchid. I may be a Tom Ford lover, but it’s fragrances like this that prove they are just different than other designers.
