Tom Ford Soleil Neige is a perplexing creature. It promises a crisp, sun-drenched snowscape but often delivers a fleeting, generic floral, or worse, something vaguely medicinal. Many find themselves scratching their heads and reaching for something else.

Snow Rays chases Tom Ford's Soleil Neige - that clean, sunlit white-floral over creamy vanilla. It catches the bright bergamot-and-orange-blossom opening and the warm rose-vanilla heart, but renders it flatter and lighter, with the luminous quality of the original sanded back to a softer, skin-close glow.
