Tom Ford Champaca Absolute Cologne for Men

New Tom Ford Champaca Absolute Cologne for Men

Tom Ford has launched Champaca Absolute, the latest addition to the Tom Ford Private Blend collection of fragrances. This Floral Oriental composition is Tom Ford's homage to the eternal, seductive power of Champaca. The multi-layered fragrance starts with opening notes of Tokajii Wine and Cognac to reveal the sensuous heart of Champaca Absolute and the final warm notes of Vanilla Bean, Amber and Sandalwood. A sensory showstopper, it could only have come from Tom Ford.

The name is a ‘reference’ to champaca absolute, a perfumer’s term for the liquid extraction of the flower. There are a few ways to extract the fragrance from the flower: CO2; concrete and absolute. Like many florals, the extraction process can vary the scent profile of the flower. Champaca Absolute then, makes reference to this ‘pure’ form of the champaca flower essence. Additional notes for Champaca Absolute include bergamot, davana, broom flower, orchid, violet, jasmine, marron glace. Champaca is related to the star anise family and it’s smell has been compared to magnolia; it is slightly less peach-y than magnolia with a bit of spice; many compare it to a white flower such as orange blossom, but admit that it has its own unique scent profile.

"Conceived as a series of twelve unisex fragrances, the Tom Ford Private Blend Collection is an artisanal experience for true fragrance connoisseurs. Unearthing the most fascinating notes in a perfumer's lexicon, the Collection explores limitless possibilities."... Says Ford, "The Private Blend Collection welcomes a new addition, an ode to the prized ingredient Champaca Absolute. An unconventional composition in the Floral Oriental landscape, Private Blend Champaca Absolute takes a rarely used single note and adds an extraordinary sequence of secondary ingredients to create the sensory equivalent of a decadently layered pastry with many layers of depth and complexity."

Champaca Absolute begins with a soft fermented plum note, very wine-like in a hazy sort of tannic effect. Immediately the champaca notes appear and blossom on my skin. The base notes are smooth and dry, in a soft chypre style - with a light sprinkling of fruity warmth to it. It’s the most unabashedly floral of all of the Private Blend scents. Apply lightly and give it a few minutes to settle on your skin. Then put on your sunglasses and stand tall when you walk out the front door!

ON THE PRESS NEWS: In addition to Champaca Absolute two other Private Blend scents, Italian Cypress (exclusive to Tom Ford boutique in Milan) and Arabian Wood (exclusive to Kuwait) will join the regular lineup within six months of their exclusive debuts.
