That’s it. I’m done. I’m sick of Winter.

It’s always cold, I have an annoying cold (bad enough to be a pain, not bad enough to take a day off work) and I haaaate wearing scarves. To that effect, I say screw the spicy wintery fragrances and say hello to gorgeous Tom Ford Azure Lime.

Tom Ford Azure Lime

This sparkling Eau Fraiche fragrance gives a fresh, unexpected spin to timeless essences. Vibrant citrus notes, sophisticated florals, warm woods and sensual musk evoke the easy elegance and relaxed style of the paradisical island of Mustique.

Notes:  Lime, Egyptian jasmine, Tunisian neroli, orange flower, sandalwood, patchouli, tonka bean, musk, sea moss and oakwood.

Sparkling, fresh and vibrant? Check, check and check. Tom Ford Azure Lime is like a – !fragrance cliche! – bottle of sunshine. It smells clean, bright and citrusy; almost tropical but not in a cloying, pina-colada sort of way. I can’t begin to tell you how brilliant this smells when you’re muddling your way to work on a grey London morning.

Most citrus fragrances dry down to a weak lemony nothing on me but Azure Lime dries to a very soft, woody musk. It’s an instant classic – just the right blend between zesty and smooth.

Buck the winter trend of heavy fragrance, head down to your nearest retailer (that’d be Harrods or Selfridges for me) and give Tom Ford Azure Lime a whirl. It’s an investment fragrance but it’ll last for ages and it’s a scent everybody will love!
