I dropped hints to hubby that I'd love Tom Daxon's 13 Vial Complete Collection for my birthday in April.
The range is absolutely exquisite and I've got a few I want full size now I've had time to try them at leisure (in fact, a couple are almost finished). The collection comes beautifully boxed with a booklet listing the perfumes and their notes.
Tom enlisted the help of perfumers, Jacques Chabert and his daughter Carla to help to create his own niche line.
My favourites and the ones which spoke to me the most are Resin Sacra, Sicilian Wood, Vachetta and Midnight Saffron. I'll be buying Resin Sacra and Sicilian Wood soon!
Iridium - "all the powdery sophistication of iris with a strong silvery spine" has notes of Juniper, Angelica, Carrot Seed, Iris, Vetiver, Cedarwood and Iso E Super.
Salvia Sclarea - "clary sage; like lying on lush cool grass on a hot sunny day" with notes of Grass, Green violet, Bergamot, Elemi, Clary sage, Jasmine, Oakmoss, Cashmeran and White musks.
Laconia - "A vibrant Sea Breeze citrus" which has notes of Lemon, Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin, Water mint, Green violet leaf, Jasmine, Sea salt, Vetiver and Cardamon - it's the perfect summer scent.
