How does the house describe it?
Tom Ford describes an amber-woody fragrance: warm spices and citrus lead to Indian kulfi and floral notes, before a base of sandalwood, vanilla and amber. This review uses the house’s published information and separates listed notes from editorial interpretation.
Published notes
Cardamom and citrus, Indian kulfi, rose, jasmine and orange-flower accords, saffron, sandalwood, vanilla and amber.
Reading the scent profile
Kulfi gives the description a rich, sweet center, while cardamom and citrus add lift at the opening. Florals, sandalwood and amber create a layered warmth rather than a one-note spice effect.
Who may enjoy it?
It may suit fans of rich warm scents that blend sweetness, spice and woods rather than someone seeking a light fresh fragrance. Test on a blotter, then on skin.
Keeping versions distinct
