Tom Ford White Suede Candle 200g Rodial Mint tea and basil —

Mint tea and basil — the herby

It absorbs quickly without leaving a sheen

but there's nothing heavy underneath

almost confectionery at the top

sits invisible under foundation

Tom Ford White Suede Candle 200g Rodial Mint tea and basil —White Suede is all creamy florals and soft musk the kind of thing that smells powdered without actually being talc on a shelf. Tom Ford leans into the textile part of the name: it's almost animalic underneath, like the scent is sitting on skin rather than in air. 200g candle, around 50 hours of burn. Best for bedrooms and dressing rooms where you want the scent close rather than filling a whole floor. Trim the wick to 5mm before each light.
