Tom Ford's Champaca Absolute seems to glow from within with a mélange of warm fruit and floral notes that melt into a balsamic base. The Champaca flower has a soft, gentle, hard-to-place complexity, with notes of wood, spice, and mint. In tom ford champaca absolute 100ml, that note is combined with magnolia (with its delicate apricot facet), jasmine, and a marron glaçé accord (chestnuts candied and glazed in sugar syrup). Champaca combined with the fresh-yet-sensuous magnolia smells not only like flowers that have been kissed by the sun — their notes, as a result, warmed up and heightened — but it also has a natural, petals-just-stripped-from-the-flower ripeness, giving a momentary impression of crushed petals releasing a slightly tropical scent.
