Tom Ford Beauty’s superstar status as a fragrance powerhouse comes as no secret, having cemented itself as a leading character in the scent scene for nearly twenty years. The launch of Vanilla Sex, a milky brew of warm vanilla and almond essence, exploded into the world of gourmand scents, and the opulent ouds of Tobacco Vanille have baptized it a luxury unisex staple. Further adding to its aromatic dynasty, Tom Ford Beauty unveils the new offshoot of its beloved fragrance line with the launch of the Soleil Neige Parfum, a more concentrated version of the brand’s fan-favorite Soleil Neige Eau de Parfum. The new scent, a luminous winter day in a bottle, boasts a heightened intensity of bergamot and mandarin notes mingled with the new addition of orange flower absolute. Like the glinting snow of a radiantly sunny day, the white floral extraction polishes the Parfum’s profile with pure, powdery notes of sun-kissed warmth.
At the heart of the aroma lies a rich blend of bergamot, heralded for its sweet, and fruity nuances, the result of a total fruit extraction process. Rose essences consort with white florals, and cold-pressed mandarin unfurls for a zesty finish. Beneath the top notes, tones of amber, musk, resins and vanilla swell in a clean flush of sunlit alpine landscapes, the warmth of mountains bathed in light. Reserved for those sultry wintery nights, a spritz of the Parfum is the crowning finish.
In tandem with the Parfum launch, a limited-edition release of the Soleil Neige Color Collection supplements the fragrance line. The makeup range features three new shades of Gloss Luxe, the Soleil Neige Eye Color Quad, a Blush Highlight Duo and the Soleil Neige Shimmering Body Oil.
The Soleil Neige Gloss, a lightweight liquid balm for effortlessly full lips, glides on for a sheer-to-medium coverage that leaves pouts plump and polished. The glosses, infused with nourishing ingredients like avocado, jojoba seed, and chamomile flower oils, are available in three wintery limited-edition shades: Pinnacle, Peak Flush and Celestial.
The Eye Color Quad, a versatile palette of four luxurious finishes — sheer sparkle, satin, shimmer and matte — is designed to achieve a variety of looks, from bold smoky eyes to playful splashes of color, and a lightweight, cream blush-highlighter duo gives that sexy winter flush of luminous, glowy skin. The cream-to-satin Blush Highlight Duo recreates the naturally rosy flush of sun-kissed skin (perfect for those après-ski photo ops), while the sheer highlight draws light to lift the face’s high points (apply to brown bones, cupid’s bow, the summit of the cheekbones for a more elevated look).
And finally, the Soleil Neige Shimmering Body Oil, a shimmering elixir of winter sun brightened by glacial light, smooths on for a revitalizing burst of deep hydration and radiant skin. Enhanced by a cool, citrus floral musk scent, the lightweight oil can be applied for an all over bronzed finish.
With the launch of the Soleil Neige Parfum and its accompanying Color Collection, Tom Ford Beauty invites us to bask in the beauty of winter. Each element— from the full-bodied fragrance to the dazzlingly crafted beauty products — serves as a reminder that even in the coldest months the gleaming, glittering facets of sun-kissed warmth live on.
