What is the concentration of the fragrance?
It is an Eau de Parfum (EDP), which typically contains a higher concentration of perfume oils (usually 15-20%) than an Eau de Toilette, resulting in longer-lasting scent.
How long does the scent typically last?
As an Eau de Parfum, it is designed for long-lasting wear. The specific longevity can vary based on skin chemistry and application, but the rich vanilla and sandalwood base notes are known for their persistence.
Is it suitable for daytime wear?
While versatile, its opulent and rich character, described as 'smouldering' and 'seductive', may be particularly well-suited for evening wear or cooler weather. Personal preference is the ultimate guide.
What size is the bottle?
The bottle contains 50 millilitres (ml) of fragrance.
Is the scent more sweet or woody?
It is a balanced blend. It opens with a gourmand, creamy vanilla sweetness but develops a deeper, more sensual character through the dry down, where the bitter almond and woody sandalwood notes become more prominent.
Is this a unisex fragrance?
Tom Ford's Private Blend fragrances are often marketed as gender-neutral. The notes of vanilla, almond, and sandalwood are commonly found in both men's and women's perfumery, making it a matter of personal taste rather than a gender-specific scent.
