    The opening is less bright and the scent adds more smoke and resin, though the drydown comes very close.

Our take

The fragrance that launched Tom Ford Beauty, an opulent and shadowy floral where truffle and blackcurrant meet a velvety orchid accord. Patchouli, dark chocolate and incense give it a lingering, nocturnal depth.
