Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
I'm sitting in front of the fireplace in my favourite armchair and have a nice warm cup of tea in my hands. The fire in the fireplace crackles and crackles and through the window I can slowly see the snow falling in thick flakes. My wife is still asleep and my children are playing with the new toys, which they got for Christmas Eve yesterday.
I woke up early, lit the fireplace and then made my favorite tea. But before I sat down in the armchair, I sprayed on "Tobacco Vanilla (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" and now let my soul dangle and enjoyed my tea in peace.
On the radio, "Let it snow" was playing softly in the background, which was nicely fitting since this was finally a white Christmas. The snow outside was at least two feet high and the houses and trees were all covered in a beautiful white blanket of snow.
There was a peaceful, almost picturesque idyllic atmosphere in the house and I was enjoying every moment. Outside it was slowly stopping snowing and the sun was now showing in the crystal blue sky. I put the cup to my mouth and was about to continue drinking my tea when I noticed that the cup was empty. And that's when I also noticed that something was missing; and it wasn't just the tea.
I must have dozed off too, as the fire in the fireplace had burned down to a small ember, and the scent of soot and some stuffy air now hung in the air. And that's when I knew what I was missing; fresh air. I looked outside and saw the snow glistening in the sun through the large windows. The ice crystals sparkled like a thousand stars and I could feel the crisp chill outside inside already.
I went to the big sliding patio door and opened it with a mighty swing. And there it was - that crisp, crystal-clear air, sweltering with the lightly thawed layer of freshly fallen snow. It was a freshness that was very rare; when everything was right and the conditions were just right. It was a freshness like you imagine and wish for in the Arctic when it's too hot again. I drew the air greedily into my lungs with big breaths and knew today was going to be a glorious day for a winter walk.
That, or something like that, is what Soleil Neige Eau de Parfum smells like to me. It is not quite easy to describe this fragrance, at least not the feeling that this fragrance transports for me. Of course, you could break the fragrance down into its individual parts and write that it starts out fresh, then becomes more and more floral, and towards the end it gets a very nice sweet touch. But this would not do justice to the fragrance, therefore, in my opinion, you have to tell here with pictures, what pure text is not able.
But it is amazing how the individual fragrance notes in the interplay evoke exactly this feeling. For me, this Tom Ford is whole great perfume art and even somewhat undervalued in the Tom Ford universe. Of course, the marketing machine works here too, and the description of snow in the sun would possibly not even open up to you without this PR aid. But once you have this image in mind, fits the name of the fragrance like snow at Christmas.
At the same time, the fragrance also holds reasonably long on the skin and has for a kind of fresh fragrance also a decent sillage. The bottle looks very elegant and by the white it also fits perfectly to the fragrance. This is already quite large (head) cinema.
Now only remains the question of whether this fragrance is a summer or winter fragrance. I would say, neither nor, or both. I think you can wear this fragrance all year round; in winter, when you want to enhance the freshness from the snow, or in summer, when you long for winter. And when I write "one", I mean by all means also the version with two "n", since the fragrance comes across unisex for me, even if the floral notes, especially in the heart note, rather remind of a classic women's fragrance.
Overall, I can recommend this fragrance to anyone who likes the smell of fresh snow and would like to try a slightly different scent. And as the icing on the cake, it should be mentioned that this is at least not the most expensive among the Tom Fords.
