Eau de Soleil Blanc (2018)
by Tom Ford

This is really lovely. It's 100% beachy suntan lotion vibes as others have said (which does make me wonder if I should just slather on the real thing for much cheaper). But, it's a very pleasant scent, and as someone who has looked through every "blue" fragrance for something I liked and come up with nothing, this feels like a very good summer frag to me.

Some others have said that it comes off too feminine. And yes I do get more floral notes in the drydown, but I think it's certainly unisex. I don't want to live in a world where men can't put on something that smells like coconut.

I do feel that the longevity is lacking, but I have yet to find a summer frag I've loved that lasts any longer so that's not a great concern. Would like to try the EDP soon but haven't gotten the chance

The opening blast combines lemon, orange and bergamot with a greenish undertone. That all does sound fresh and summery and it is indeed, but the freshness is lightly attenuated by a slightly spicy undertone that features some cardamom and pepper mainly. A touch of caraway adds some depth.

The jasmine adds a sweet creaminess that is otherwise mainly due to a nice ylang-ylang; jasmine and a good lashing of sea coconut are also coming to the fore with time, and, with some help of the marketing-led imagination, the whole has a bit of a suntan character.

The base is increasingly a vanilla affair, sweet and a touch heavy.

I get moderate sillage, very good projection and six hours of longevity on my side.

This summery beachy scent is quite nicely conceptualised, with a core idea similar to that of Bond No. 9’s Fire Island, with the latter a touch more creative and showing more texture in spite of its comparatively simpler composition. Still, whilst the base is a bit boring, otherwise this one is done nicely, but it is rather generic at times. 2.75/5.

Tom Ford does Coconut tanning lotion.
every woman I've shown this to has loved it,....women love coconut I guess.

Great scent!. I tried it at the shopping mall and it took me to the beach instantly.

IS the type of scent that change your mood, perfect for summer, spring, the beach. I enjoy when I am wearing it.

* Longevity is really nice on me for a fresh one (6-8 hrs.) and it stays on my clothes for 2 days.
* Sillage is moderate but people around you can definitely smell you.
* Projection is moderate.

I love it!, it take me to a relaxing mood with good memories (beach vacations).

Quite an honor being the first to review this fancy EdP from Tom Ford! :-)

Fragrantly sweet Oriental Floral, loaded with exotic notes that feel thoughtfully picked versus arbitrarily. In Eau de Soleil Blanc, all the citrus, spice, floral, nutty and sweet elements come together to create a sunny fresh fragrance. An overall soft, classy, and sensual fragrance, where typical citrus head notes get whiffs of sexy caraway seed, bright peppercorn, creamy nutty pistachio making way to the flower-loaded heart which hits with bananas (ylang), waxy orange flower, sea coconut (Lodoicea palm), honey nectar, carnal and fleshy tuberose essence, and base of sweet resinous amber.

Sophisticated sweet scent, like a super-luxury body oil elixir! Swimming with so much fresh floral and fruity elements, it produces a feelings of romance, calm and friendliness. Maybe better suited for women, but adventurous men can try it out too.
