The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Hilfiger Est. 1985 by Tommy Hilfiger was launched in 2008 and crafted by the renowned perfumers at Givaudan. This aromatic fougère fragrance opens with a burst of citrus, featuring papaya, grapefruit, mandarin orange, and bergamot. These bright, zesty notes are balanced by the earthy warmth of rosemary, leather, and turmeric, creating an intriguing contrast that adds depth to the composition. The heart of the fragrance is anchored by mahogany, rose, and cashmere wood, which blend seamlessly into a musky base of sandalwood, suede, and tonka bean, offering a sophisticated finish.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough — the bright top notes fade within a couple of hours, but the warm, leathery base lingers. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than from across the room, so aim for pulse points.
