Eau de Soleil Blanc

Eau de Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford is a refined, tropical beach fragrance that opens with bright, slightly spicy citrus notes, including bergamot, bitter orange, and cardamom, creating an instantly uplifting and summery atmosphere. The middle unfolds with creamy white florals—jasmine, ylang-ylang, and tuberose—giving it a lush, almost skin-like quality. The dry down reveals a soft, well-blended coconut and vanilla base enriched with tonka bean and benzoin, evoking a luxurious sun-kissed skin scent reminiscent of high-end sunscreen, though slightly more complex than merely synthetic. It's perceived as elegant, airy, and appropriate for daytime wear, with most reviewers noting it leans slightly feminine but is still wearable by men. Voted as a summer staple, it performs best in warm weather and on clothing, where it offers longer wear—an ideal choice for beach days, vacations, or cool summer evenings. However, its performance is consistently noted as moderate to weak, with projections collapsing quickly and lasting only a few hours on skin, which leads many to describe it as a "skin scent" rather than a bold, projecting fragrance. It's not a tenacious grand statement, but deeply personal and evocative.
