Tom Ford revisits Amalfi coast fragrance

 The allure of Southern Italy's Amalfi coast inspired Tom Ford to create his "Mandarino di Amalfi" fragrance in 2014. Three years later, the brand is revisiting this paradise destination with a new summer scent in appreciation of the "bright tranquility" of this "calm idyll". 

Tom Ford has released "Mandarino di Amalfi Acqua", his new fragrance for men and women. The American designer took inspiration from the scents in the air on the Amalfi coast, one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations in the summer with hints of mandarin, lemon, basil, and orange blossom.

The fragrance opens with an herbaceous scent of tarragon, mint, and blackcurrant infused with citrus fruits (mandarin, lemon, bergamot, neroli and grapefruit) and hints of basil, black pepper and coriander seed. 

Its heart notes are orange blossom, clary sage, jasmine and shiso leaves. The base notes are vetiver, amber, labdanum, musk and civette. The combination is sparkling and radiant, underpinned by a soothing warmth.

The bottle for "Mandarino di Amalfi Acqua" is a frosted version of the flacon for the original fragrance. Its sky-blue and gold tones remind us of the Amalfi coast.
