Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi Eau de Parfum 50mL

Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi smells like a sun-warmed Amalfi garden at midday, sharp and full of green. Italian mandarin and lemon open with a tonic-like zing, basil, spearmint and shiso bring wild herbs forward, and jasmine drifts in at dusk.

The key notes in Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi are Italian mandarin oil, lemon, basil, spearmint, a shiso leaf accord and jasmine. The mandarin and lemon give a luminous opening, the herbs add a textured aromatic character, and jasmine softens the finish.

Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi is an aromatic citrus fragrance. That means fresh herbs such as basil and spearmint matter as much as the fruit, so it smells textured, green and sun-warmed rather than like a simple, standard citrus cologne.

Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi is an Eau de Parfum in a 50mL bottle, part of the Private Blend collection. It launched in 2014 and was created by perfumer Calice Becker, with the Eau de Parfum strength giving its citrus and herbs a richer, more rounded character.

Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi is best suited to spring and summer days, brunches and coastal weekends. Its mandarin, lemon and fresh herbs feel lively and bright in warm weather, and the jasmine adds a softer note for dusk.

Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi suits herb and citrus lovers who find standard colognes too simple, and anyone who likes bright, textured scents. Those who want a sweet, warm or heavy fragrance may find its tonic-like zing and green herbs too sharp.

Yes, Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi is a lively gift for a fragrance fan who likes bright, textured scents. The 50mL Eau de Parfum from the Private Blend collection draws on the idyll of the Amalfi coast, which suits spring and summer occasions.
