Champaca Absolute, the latest addition to Tom Ford Beauty’s Private Blend Collection |
UK. Tom Ford Beauty has extended its Private Blend unisex collection, created for fragrance connoisseurs, with a new addition, Champaca Absolute. It is available now in selected travel retail doors.
Described as an unconventional composition within the floral oriental landscape, Private Blend Champaca Absolute is based around its eponymous rarely-used single note, complemented by a series of secondary ingredients.
The top notes include Tokajii wine, Cognac, bergamot, davana and Mediterranean broom flower. The heart of champaca unfolds alongside a floral blend of orchids, white violet and jasmine. The base features vanilla, amber, marron glace and sandalwood.
The packaging for the Tom Ford Private Blend collection is inspired by the dark brown glass colouring of the apothecary bottles used in perfumers’ work rooms.
The 50ml flacon is created to be weighty in the hand, and has the sleek architectural look of a chess piece. The 250ml decanter is carved “with the highest level of craftsmanship”, according to the company, and is designed to enhance the user’s home environment.
In other news, an additional Private Blend scent, Italian Cypress, has been created exclusively for the new Tom Ford store in Milan. “It is dedicated to a gentleman of the 70s, a kind of man that is not easy to find anymore,” the designer noted.
