A SOFT YET DISTINCTIVE INTRODUCTION
Tom Ford’s Santal Blush opens with a beautifully warm, spicy aura, blending sandalwood with exotic spices. From the moment it touches the skin, it evokes a sense of richness without being overbearing. While the opening leans slightly dry, it remains incredibly smooth and creamy, a testament to the high-quality blend of ingredients.
THE HEART: A TOUCH OF FLORAL INTRICACY
As the fragrance develops, notes of ylang-ylang and jasmine unfold, adding a subtle floral elegance. These elements soften the composition, giving it a refined balance between wood and floral. The florals do not overpower but instead enhance the woody base, creating a perfume that feels luxurious and intimate at the same time.
THE DRYDOWN: WOODS AND RESINS WITH A SPICY TWIST
The drydown is where Santal Blush reveals its true depth. Sandalwood remains the star, supported by resinous benzoin and a dash of caraway and cinnamon. This phase offers a warm, enveloping scent that clings to the skin in a gentle, non-intrusive way. The fragrance's sillage is strong yet intimate, leaving a creamy, woodsy trail that lingers close to the wearer.
PERFORMANCE: CREAMY WITH A MODERATE LINGER
Though some users report a softer projection, Santal Blush is praised for its sillage and longevity. It performs better in cooler weather, with 1-2 sprays being enough to make an impact. While newer batches may be perceived as slightly weaker than older versions, the fragrance maintains its creamy sandalwood charm, making it a reliable go-to for any occasion.
