Tom Ford Rose de Amafali Eau de Parfum is usually a candy, considerably jammy rose paired with creamy almond and mushy, powdery undertones. There have been short-lived citrus notes within the opening, however after the primary half hour or so, there have been very minor shifts via the rest of the fragrance’s put on.
It’s described as a “discreetly sensual rose” that’s “kissed by Italian bergamot” and contains “heliotrope.” These are the notes:
- high notes: pink pepper, Indian mandarin, Italian bergamot
- coronary heart notes: rose
- base notes: heliotrope, almond
Scent Growth
It opened with spicy bergamot, barely bitter and aromatic with citrus, with mushy rose over subtly-sweet mandarin. The citrus didn’t linger for lengthy, virtually wholly consumed by candy rose and the beginnings of creamy almond with a powdery side. Over the primary 20 minutes, there have been whispers of citrus sweetness in opposition to the rose blooms, virtually protecting the rose from changing into jammy.
The mushy, velvety rose turned extra jam-like because the citrus waned and appeared completely dissipated by the hour-mark. The rose melted into the almond and heliotrope, which gave the fragrance extra physique, some creaminess, and a bit of powderiness. By the fifth hour, the rose was extra of a whisper of a powdery, candy almond base.
Utility
For testing, I used two sprays to the underside and topside of my wrist space on my left arm. I used an unscented moisturizer previous to making use of the scent as that is additionally my swatching arm (aka, extremely parched at any given second) as I discovered scent didn’t maintain nicely right here in any other case.
Longevity
It lasted for eight hours till it was a skin-scent and about 14 hours earlier than it was fairly tough to detect on my pores and skin. The sillage and projection had been light-to-moderate and drew nearer to my physique inside two hours of utility.
Private Ideas
This fragrance had much less nuances in comparison with a few of Tom Ford’s different rose-inspired perfumes, so it was much less up my alley consequently. I additionally want extra of an fragrant inexperienced word paired with my rose, relatively than a jammy rose–so Rose Prick or Rose de Russie are ones I’d attain for forward of this one myself.
