I saw that…but I was a bit confused, cuz I don’t think of musk as “fresh and light”. But it’s all relative….

LOL I think Tom …
LOL I think Tom Ford must have had the Coldstone Creamery complaint before. According to NST he’s just realised some lighter fragrances on the theme of musk because he notes that today, were all in the mood for something simple, fresh, light and a little less heavy. Personally I think the market is already saturated with fresh and light. Issey Miyake has that ground very well-covered for a start.

Just cuz I …
Just cuz I identified the Private Blends “Coldstone Creamery Syndrome” doesn’t mean I don’t subscribe to the “more is more” philosophy myself. I go for dense and complex all the way, babe! So guess again: Amber Absolute and Noir de Noir are my poison. (I was just getting around to answering your front page request for an Amber Absolute review…that one is RIGHT up my furry alley!)

Iris Nobile really …
Iris Nobile really is a classy, old-school style perfume. It’s such a deep, rich floral You can’t do a “body splash” application on that one, that’s a cert.

Someone on a …
Someone on a perfume blog said Moss Breeches was like a rose being swallowed by a giant toad, which is spot on! If you’d like a less jam packed Tom Ford, then I guess the Neroli Portofino and Champaca Absolute are your faves? My problem with the Tom Fords is just their ridiculous price. The shop assistant says many people layer them…are these people minting their own money?!

Rose Alex is a …
Rose Alex is a plain rose, orange blossom (almost equal parts to my nose) and musk. Not terribly interesting, but very pretty and classy. It is currently my ‘default’ perfume. Take away some rose, add iris, anise and a touch of womanliness and you get Iris Nobile, which is beutiful, but you get a headache if you over-apply.

Doh…yes how could I forget that one! Love it too, but I do have a problem in that it makes me smell like I have BO…too much cumin. I could have done with a pinch less!

Thanks for that …
Thanks for that handy list! I think Kenzo Magnolia is a great, fresh orange blossom for summer, and have a review of that coming up soon.

I’m also a devotee of Tom Ford Private Blends, even though some of them suffer from “Coldstone Creamery Syndrome”: too many yummy ingredients piled onto one little ice cream cone. But I admire the chutzpah!

Curious that you put Rose Alexandrie & Iris Nobile in with orange blossoms…? Tell me more!
