Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc 1.7 oz Eau de Toilette Spray

My partner got me a travel size of this for my birthday and I will definitely be getting a larger size once I’m done! This is basically a white musk with florals but with an extra almost alpine clarity that reminds me of sweat and sun and snow. There are some citrus and amber notes that broaden it out and make it less overtly “floral” and “feminine”. This is the type of perfume where, yeah, it has similar notes to a lot of other perfumes but they’re combined here for something very unique. It’s my special occasion perfume and whenever I wear it I can’t stop smelling my wrist! I really appreciate Tom ford perfumes because they last so long! Other boutique perfumes you can smell for like..an hour..on me and that is disappointing; Tom Ford has great sillage and great ... MoreMy partner got me a travel size of this for my birthday and I will definitely be getting a larger size once I’m done!

I had once tried it in a shop and fell in love with the amazing and unique note of the fragrance. The tangy citrusy opening and a party-like spicy-sweet smelling dry down got me hooked. Also, if I remember it correctly, one spritz of it on my wrist really lasted for a long time and I kept smelling it for hours. A few months later I decided to buy it on amazon. I honestly love the smell and have no issues with it, but unfortunately it doesn't last for a very long time. I get roughly around 4-5 hrs, both on skin as well as on clothes (which is honestly weird, since I expect any fragrance to last at least somewhat longer on the clothes than it does on the skin, but no, somehow it doesn't). Now, I know it is an EDT and that too a 'Fresh' category perfume, so technically ... MoreI had once tried it in a shop and fell in love with the amazing and unique note of the fragrance.

Now, I know it is an EDT and that too a 'Fresh' category perfume, so technically I shouldn't expect too much out of it, but yeah.. it definitely leaves me longing for a couple more hours. I don't know if it is this batch or if the perfume itself has been reformulated, but the performance has taken a hit for sure. Also I really don't have any valid reason to think that it is a fake product by any chance. The batch code from the box matches with that on the bottle, and the packaging quality is also good. So yeah, not a fake hopefully. So overall, I'd give the smell a good 5 stars since I really love it, but I also want any fragrance that I buy to last at least 6+ hrs, which it doesn't. So overall I'd rate it 4 just because of the performance aspect.

The perfume starts off lushly, with bright berries and citrus, slightly tinged with saffron, cardamom and saffron. In the beginning the sound is very sharp and confident, if not to say persistent, can even scare you away if you are not used to such chords. Soleil Blanc is almost a full copy of Neroli Portofino Forte. These fragrances don't really have any common notes, but both end up with a rich, juicy coconut that is stunning in its intensity. Also, I hear jasmine and tuberose - an insanely beautiful combination! Despite all the brightness of the tropical chords, it is quite a soft fragrance, it does not scream, but rather calmly and with dignity declares itself. There is no skew towards sweetness. The opening is correct and logical. In its base, White Sun is cozy ... MoreThe perfume starts off lushly, with bright berries and citrus, slightly tinged with saffron, cardamom and saffron.

Despite all the brightness of the tropical chords, it is quite a soft fragrance, it does not scream, but rather calmly and with dignity declares itself. There is no skew towards sweetness. The opening is correct and logical. In its base, White Sun is cozy and tasty thanks to the warm amber and tonka beans. In general, I am a simple person: when I see tonka bean in the base of the fragrance, I buy it. For me, this note is a guarantee that we will definitely become friends. The trail is medium, I would even say short. I easily wear White Sun at work, I have not noticed any discontent from others, at least no one has told me that I smell strongly of perfume. Subjective - for me it is a fragrance from the noughties. There is something nostalgic and old-fashioned, but definitely familiar and familiar, causing a good smile. Something of this perfume is like a luxury facial, something like a sunbed cream - again, some special vibe from the past, and thanks to Soleil Blanc for that. Who fits, where to wear, time of year, etc. It is difficult to imagine a more versatile women's fragrance than Tom Ford Soleil Blanc. This composition can fit into any image - from glamorous sports chic to boho. A true partner of the modern woman: in my opinion, the perfume is appropriate in the office, at a business meeting, at a wedding, on vacation, at a party and on a walk. White Sun won't suffocate on a hot afternoon, will warm you up in a frost and add fire in a chilly spring. And it has no age limits: for example, my mother liked Soleil Blanc as much as I did, and, at the same time, my young colleague was delighted with this perfume. Persistence. I expected more, to be honest. Black Orchid and Velvet Orchid are phenomenally persistent fragrances that you can not renew all day, Neroli Portofino Forte and Tobacco Vanille are just very persistent perfumes. Soleil Blanc, on the other hand, is very inferior to them in terms of staying power. Even after four hours, I do not hear this fragrance at all, only the remnants of those sprays that got on my hair. On clothes, too, it does not live long - I do not know what this is about.

A must have in your collection

I was incentivized and received this product for free from Influenster and Tom Ford in exchange for a review. The product is Tom Ford Soleil de feau in 1oz. Just unboxing the product was so pleasant. It came in a chrome gold finished box. It even came in Tom Ford embossed giftwrap with a sticker. Excellent presentation for gifting. If you have not bought Tom ford before, this will definitely set the bar. This perfume is alcohol based. It has a citrus and cinnamon note to it. The rurbulose, sandalwood, and benzoin are uplifting and definitely give this product a unique spin. It will last you the whole day easily. I will definitely consider buying this product again as the scent is nothing like i've felt before and is the talk of the town.

Difference between eau de toilette vs parfum

The parfum has staying power. 1 spray. All day. I have a sensitive nose. If I can strongly smell it, others will, it’s invasive. Perfume is a secret garden and for those closer. The eau de toilette passes as fast as a flush, as the name implies:) at least on my skin, we all have different chemistry, always take reviews with a grain of coffee:) the scent difference:Parfum: more complexe, slight musk, woody citrus, gently muted orange blossoms that lasts. It turns into this lovely symphony.Toilette: ephemeral, light, no musk, no wood, flat, less complexity, slightly more citrusy and after an hour reminds me of some signature boutique hotel scent.Try each one on your arm at your local Sephora. Let your own chemistry speak to you;) Gigi

My #1 Summer Must Have! The Beach Bottled!

THIS. IS. EVERYTHING. I spent several years searching for the perfect beachy/summertime smelling fragrance, and I finally found it… THIS. IS. IT. It really is the beach bottled! The fragrance is so very beautifully sunny and sultry! This is reminiscent of long lazy days laying on a beautiful white sand beach with crystal aqua water, the sun warming your skin, palm fronds swaying in a gentle salty breeze, and a tropical drink in a coconut with flowers in your hand! I truly cannot say enough incredible things about this! Also, to give you an idea of what I love, a few of my favorite fragrances are… Replica Beach Walk, Nest Sunkissed Hibiscus, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, JHAG Vanilla Vibes and Lust for Sun, and Sol De Janeiro Rio Radiance! I’m also extremely impressed ... MoreTHIS. IS. EVERYTHING. I spent several years searching for the perfect beachy/summertime smelling fragrance, and I finally found it… THIS. IS. IT.

I’m also extremely impressed with the projection and longevity… it’s exceptional! A little goes a long way, and it lasts all day and throughout the night, so it will last you a very long time! Yes, it is on the pricier side, but it really is oh so worth it! It lasts practically forever and the fragrance is so incredibly gorgeous! I love this so very much that I also own the 3.4oz Shimmering Body Oil, and of course the mini Shimmering Body Oil which I use for travel and overnight stays! I even have backup bottles so that I don’t ever run the risk of running out! This is absolutely my all time favorite and I’ll never be without it! I very highly recommend this… I even convinced my best friend to get a bottle because even though it’s not her typical kind of fragrance she always thought I smelled so good, and decided she just had to have it especially after trying mine! Don’t pass this one up! If you’re debating then just go for it, you can thank me later!

My new go to “Everyday Fragrance”!

I absolutely LOVE this fragrance! I’m a Sephora employee, so when I saw that we carried Tom Ford fragrances, I was so excited to try the TF fragrances we carried. Eau De Soleil Blanc drew me in immediately, I’m a sucker fruity fragrances (Under The Lemon Trees, Valentino Yellow Dream, Light Blue are fragrances Ive gone through bottled of), I found myself wearing it every at work. Eventually I bought it and I have no regrets.I’ve been looking for an everyday scent, and I’ve found it with this fragrance. I’d describe the scent as a fruity, citrusy scent mixed with subtle musk, it’s very sweet. The citrus notes mixed with the musky notes are incredible when you first spray it, it the dry down smells great as well. You still get that hint of citrus with a little bit ... MoreI absolutely LOVE this fragrance!

You still get that hint of citrus with a little bit of a sweet powdery note, not an overlooking baby powder scent. It’s lasts for a good 8 hours. It layers well with other fragrances, I mix Burberry Indigo with it and combined they smell wonderful. It’s truly a unique fragrance, there’s nothing I’ve smelled remotely comparable to it. The hints of musk are what makes it unisex to me. Packaging is beautiful.The only reasons I would say not to purchase it are IF YOU DON’T LIKE FRUITY SCENTS, or if you spray it and you’re not IN LOVE with how it smells in you. TF is a PRETTY penny, in my opinionif you’re going to buy it, spray the tester on yourself and see if it’s something you love and could see yourself using it every other day. If not, I wouldn’t recommend spending so much money for a fragrance you won’t get much use out of. I personally can’t get enough of it!

Strong Scent

I'm not sure how I feel about the scent of Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil from Tom Ford. It is a very strong scent. There is a lot going on with the scent too. It has so many notes that it's hard to pinpoint one in particular. I'm not sure if I smell like a flower, the woods, or like a food item. They meld together with each note trying to overpower the other. It is somewhat overwhelming to the senses. I have also noticed that you can see exactly where you applied this oil. And not due to the glitter. It leaves my skin a brownish color that you visibly see where you have it and where you don't. If you sweat at all, it leaves streaks. The shimmer flecks will also be left on anything that touches your skin. But on the positive side, the oil does absorb quickly into ... MoreI'm not sure how I feel about the scent of Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil from Tom Ford. It is a very strong scent.

A little bit will go a long way. If you are someone who enjoys the scent, it lasts all day and all night. Even into the next day. The scent becomes amplified when your body temperature rises. My skin is very soft and silky smooth after application. I wish came as just a lightly shimmered body oil that is scent free. Because my skin does feel wonderful from this body oil.

TF you're killin me

What I'm about to say does not matter, because this scent disappears completely in one hour. But you probably already know that from the countless reviews confirming the poor longevity and need to learn the hard way. Like touching a hot stove to make sure it's hot, I too purchased this outrageously expensive bottle of nothing hoping the people were wrong. That being said, I live on an island and this would be my signature scent as I believe it to be the best smell of all time. Incredibly sexy, warm sunshine, delicious coconut, smooth white flowers. Also, the coordinating shimmering body oil has the perfect amount of tiny glitter to create a nice sheen on the legs and smells fantastic as you're applying it. Body oils make me feel a lil sweaty and dirty due to my ... MoreWhat I'm about to say does not matter, because this scent disappears completely in one hour.

Body oils make me feel a lil sweaty and dirty due to my humid climate, and this one is no exception, but it's great on shaved legs. Back to the perfume. Don't do it!! It doesn't last. You wanna bring the bottle with you everywhere you go? (No judgment, it's that good.) Dupes: Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum cream and body mist comes close. Aerin Hibiscus Palm is straight tropical flowers, so you have to layer it with coconut oil. REPLICA Beach Walk's baby powder note gives me asthma. Eau de Soleil Blanc is fresher with even worse longevity. Why!

disappointed, but its pretty.. 80% similar. expected more from oakcha

I like it, however it is too forward on the pistachio and the ylang-ylang and not I am getting not nearly enough of the coconut.It is a wonderful fragrance oakcha has made, but only like 80% similar and so much so that I could almost justify having TF Soleil Blanc as well in my collection as well as this if cost was not a barrier. I expected so much more from oakcha, I held them up as THE PRIEMER DUPE BRAND and I was seriously let down. I will give them another chance to win me back. [bc their other dupes I have, Sinful (TF Lost Cherry), Aged Tobacco(TF Tobacco Oud), Akimbo (Creed Aventus for her); are all absolutely wonderful and ~95% similar.] Please pay careful attention to your formulas and do not start pumping out subpar products. We love the oakcha we know.
