Santal Blush by Tom Ford is creamy sandalwood warmed with spice, soft and skin-like rather than loud. Cinnamon, cumin and saffron open it with a dry, slightly savoury heat. Sandalwood takes over the heart, wrapped in ylang-ylang and jasmine. Benzoin, tonka bean and musk give the dry-down a balmy, powdery glow. It launched in 2011 and is worn by men and women alike, especially those who love warm woods with a sensual edge. Voters wear it in spring and autumn, by day and into the evening. Most wearers vote it long-lasting. The sillage vote leans moderate. A decant lets you live with it for a week or two before you choose the bottle.

The community verdict
Sandalwood gives Santal Blush its creamy, woody centre, reached through an opening of cinnamon, cumin and saffron; musk and benzoin soften the finish. Wear time is long-lasting for most, while projection splits between moderate and strong. It suits spring days, with autumn and evenings also working well.

The house
More from Tom Ford
Tom Ford launched his own fragrance line in 2005, a year before Black Orchid arrived and set the tone: dark, glamorous and a little provocative. The range leans warm and spicy, with amber, vanilla and tonka bean at its core, and cardamom, saffron or leather adding edge. Jasmine and orange blossom bring a sensual floral thread. The Private Blend line, introduced in 2007, is where the house plays most freely. Tobacco Vanille is its cosy classic of pipe tobacco and spice, Oud Wood is smoother and drier than the name suggests, and Lost Cherry is a boozy cherry-almond treat. For daylight, Neroli Portofino brings crisp citrus and white flowers. Black Orchid itself remains the deepest, most velvety way into the house. Try two contrasting ones before you commit.
