Hmmm, it must have been the name or the brash bottle that’s not at all classic or even fresh, but I knew that there would be something about Tom Ford’s new fragrance, Metallique, that I wouldn’t like.
But then I thought about how there are SO MANY Tom Ford fragrances that I LOVE.
Champaca is a mainstay, and I got it for my 31st birthday from my mom.
Tuscan Leather is good for sweater weather.
My husband gave me Cafe Rose for an anniversary and I love that one too. It was once that we smelled together and had to get.
Santal Blush is definitely an all-time fav.
But Metallique is not.
This fragrance is a lot of vanilla and a lot of musk.
Official notes are:
- Pink peppercorn oil orpur®
- Vert de bergamote orpur®
- Aubepine heliotrope accord
- Ambrette seed
- Peru balsam
It was so sweet on me and did not work. I couldn’t wait to shower it off, and even then I felt like I could still smell whiffs of it.
Available at Sephora and department stores. $195 for 50ml.
