My first experience with Tom Ford perfume, and I was in love! It has a distinctively fresh scent, with neroli (orange blossom) most prominent. It will transport you to summer in Italy (or even in Florida, if you have citrus trees around that blossom!) Not overly feminine, and not sickeningly sweet. I prefer citrus scents and this one fits the bill. Was my favorite for a couple of years, until I 'met' Tom Ford's Mandarino di Amalfi (reviewed separately) . The downsides are the staying power could be longer and the price could be less.

This scent is heavenly! It smells like fresh bitter oranges and lavender. It's slightly more strong and better than Aqua di Parma Colonia. I just wish it would last longer. Lasts about 3 hours then lingers only closely to the body.
