For those who know, not for everyone… if you’re ready to step out of ordinary elegance, you’re welcome 💀🚬

Not an easy fragrance. At first, especially, the cumin is very noticeable (even more on dry down than on skin). Then, as it dries, it becomes dark, opulent, and animalic, though weaker, with that cumin always lingering. Although not listed, I believe it carries earthy patchouli (or oud) that gives it air reminiscent of Patchouli Absolu. It’s the more animal cousin of Oud Wood Intense. OWI (which I love) has freshness from cypress and ginger; here, there’s nothing, it’s dense and heavy. Imagine a dark TF fragrance, like OWI or Patchouli Absolu, mixed with the scent of Kouros’s sweaty torso: that’s London. It’s bold, from when TF was making great things. No wonder they discontinued it.

Elegance, warm and woody sophistication. Tom Ford fragrances with OUD are worth it for their complex and delicate treatment; among them are Oud Fleur, Oud Wood… They are a window into Arab scents in an extremely refined way, with immense class.

Truly fantastic aroma, with exquisite saffran that, together with cumin, opens with a dry gasoline blast that leaves you stiff. Jasmine and geranium are felt slightly, then the woods gradually soften the blend and leave a wonderful note I suppose is amyris, I’ve never smelled it before. Immense quality, pity its longevity: on my skin it’s short, which makes me consider buying it again given its price.
