The story behind the bottle.
Tom of Finland by Etat Libre d'Orange is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men that launched in 2007. Created by perfumer Antoine Lie, this scent embodies the daring and unconventional spirit of its French perfume house. The composition opens with aldehydes and Amalfi lemon, creating a crisp and aromatic freshness. This gives way to a heart of birch, pine tree, cypress, pepper, geranium, and galbanum, which adds an earthy complexity. The base notes of suede, vanilla, tonka bean, iris, musk, vetiver, styrax, and ambergris create a warm and powdery leather accord that lingers on the skin.
Tom of Finland is best applied in two moderate sprays. The aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow them to mingle with the earthy heart before settling into the warm base. This fragrance is designed for cooler temperatures when its rich, powdery warmth shines through.
