Tommy (1994)
by Tommy Hilfiger

In the same vein (i mean with a common fruity-floral ambery kind of taste) of Joop Nightflight, Lanvin L'Homme, some Boss, Egoiste Platinum and a huge range of many others (most of all aquatics) , Tommy is an inoffensive clean fougere-ozonic with a lot of fruit in composition, spices, many flowers but above all with an hidden ozonic trait that is partially overcasted by the pungency of cranberries, pineapple, cinnamon and flowers but that resists tenaciously till the end being detectable by the inquiring noses. I'm able to isolate this ozonic note ( that on my skin smells more developed than in many other aquatics), which purified by spices, fruits and flowers, would have been (i guess) that central salty-sweet, dissonant and breezing note (cedarwood, fruits, seaweeds, myrtle) you can detect as central in fragrances as Bond Coney Island and Profumum Roma Acqua di Sale. A final note of amber infuses a certain level of warmth and virility. There is a touch of earth somewhere that emerges sometimes from the abysses. The smell is common and fresh, not bad but not an hit for sure.

Someone bought it for me back in 1994 when it was first launched. Honestly, i did not think much of it at first and quickly dismissed it as a non-descript scent. Interestingly, this perfume kept garnering positive comments from people around me. Subsequently, i have learnt to apperciate the scent more. there is something sexy and virile behind the citrusy facade. It is also one of the extremely few "fresh" scents that has seriously grown on me... cos i generally prefer oriental, spicy or herbal scents. tommy is quite a gem imo. i prefer it over paradise for men. so, for those who have not tried it before, do yourself a favour.. keep an open mind and give it a go. btw, the vintage version has a shot ingredient list : alcohol, water and tommy fragrance.

Back in the mid-90's, I used to love the smell of Tommy. It is instantly recognizable. Unfortunately, to me, that is what makes Tommy seem so dated now. I instantly associate Tommy with the 90's, and I simply can't get past that. I also don't feel like I identify with the "soft" nature of the smell any more...nothing particularly masculine about it.

A very nice fresh smell where we have citrus mixed with wood notes, making me feeling like this one is a teenager version of Boss Bottled. A very safe and pleasant smell. Hard to see someone disliking it. The only thumbs down in my opinion stays on the longevity side. If you can choose, go with Boss bottled instead of this one, since boss number 6 stays for a longer time on skin, and projects more as well.

It's synthetic as can be, was worn to death in the 90's, and is made by the mass marketing fragrance machine of Tommy Hilfiger. He should have stopped at this one because it's by far the best Tommy Hilfiger mens fragrance and really is one of the best summer fragrances you can wear. It's green apple and cotton fresh which has worked it's magic and continues to do so.

Tommy's an easy fragrance - modern, fresh. It dies on me after about five hours, so it's more of an evening out or casual dinner wear. It's pleasant enough with its apple/wood/amber accord, but it really doesn't evolve so much as weaken after the first 15 minutes. Still, wear this and you'll be unlikely to offend. It's a safe scent.
