The Scoop Don't let the “blush” in Tom Ford's Santal Blush perfume fool you into thinking this is a shy or retreating scent. It's more of an exploration of the multi-dimensionality of the buttery-beautiful sandalwood note. Like looking at a cross-section of cut wood with its repeating but differentiated rings, sniffing Tom Ford's Santal Blush provides an olfactory version of similar-but-different reverberating facets of sandalwood. It opens with a creamy, almost coconut-y and even fig-fruit richness. Bold Indian spices of cumin and cinnamon give Santal Blush a temporary hot-and-heavy feral energy. As carrot seeds and fenugreek add a vegetal, waxy depth, chic, sandalwood calls in its reinforcements: cedar and oud, softened by musk. Soft, spicy, creamy, and sexy, Santal Blush is more forward than its name. Santal Blush Notes Indian spices, cumin, cinnamon, carrot seeds, fenugreek, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, Australian sandalwood, cedar, benzoin, musk
