Sandra‘s Closet

So extremely pretty. When I received the box with the press material, I was immediately taken by TOM FORD‘s new summer products.Unexpected. Sultry. Addictive. Remote private islands where summer lasts all year.
Tom Ford has a history of beautiful summery scents and this new addiction doesn’t disappoint as well. SOLEIL BLANC embodies everything you might be looking for in a scent for warm temperatures. It is an addictive solar flora amber fragrance, seductive, decadent and refreshing at once. It excludes the endless pursuit of sun. I was immediately drawn to it and can only recommend getting it, especially the Shimmering Body Oil.
