Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Soleil Brûlant EDP

Tom Ford Soleil Brûlant is a divisive one, a gourmand amber with an intense, almost challenging character. Some call it a masterpiece, others a scrubber. Sample first, because if you get the dreaded 'celery' note, you won't be impressed.

Our Verdict - Sexycrush EDP

This one's a divisive affair. Some reckon its warm, woody, and soapy embrace is a comforting 'dumb reach', while others dismiss it as a synthetic mess with a ridiculous name and poor performance. Definitely not for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Soleil Brûlant

Seasons

Best For:

Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Spring Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

This scent is strong and long-lasting, with significant projection, making it too overpowering for an office. Its rich, sensual character is perfectly suited for date nights and formal occasions, but its intensity could be too much for casual wear or sport.

Sexycrush

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Its warm balsamic and woody profile, along with a perceived strong projection by some, means it's best reserved for cooler evenings or intimate settings. While some find it subtle, others experience significant silage, making it a tricky fit for office wear.
