Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Nathalie Gracia-Cetto. Eau de Soleil Blanc opens with Caraway, Citron, Bergamot, and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin. Tom Ford's Eau de Soleil Blanc carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive summer scent. It's sunshine in a bottle for lovers of that 'luxury sunscreen' vibe, bright and effervescent. But for some, it's just overpriced, weak, and oddly reminiscent of air freshener or something far less glamorous than a Mediterranean escape.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, light profile and general consensus as a pleasant scent make it suitable for casual wear and even office environments where heavy fragrances are a no-go. However, its often-criticised lack of longevity and projection means it's less ideal for formal events or dates where you might want more impact.

About

Eau de Soleil Blanc blasts off with a vibrant, zesty rush of bitter orange, bergamot, and citron, sharpened by a hint of pink pepper and cardamom. This invigorating citrus then melts into a creamy heart of jasmine, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang, with a whisper of green galbanum. The dry-down is pure summer luxury: warm amber, tonka bean, and vanilla cocoon a soft, airy coconut, evoking sun-kissed skin and balmy breezes.
