Tommy Forever
Tommy Forever Eau de Toilette, from Tommy Hilfiger, is a nine material composition that moves from dark fruit to flowers to a dry finish without ever raising its voice.
Blackberry is the material that sets it apart at the start. It is deep and slightly jammy, more purple than red, and pear beside it is soft and watery by comparison while bergamot cleans the pair up with a bitter citrus lift. The combination is sweet but not sugary. Peony opens the middle, fresh and faintly green with a soft petal sweetness, jasmine adds richer floral weight, and iris runs through both with a cool powder that gives the scent its texture. This is where it spends most of its time and it is the most distinctive stretch of the wear. Iris is the material that gives the middle its cool, slightly expensive texture, and it is what separates this from the many sweet fruit and flower scents it sits beside.
The close is dry and quiet. Sandalwood is creamy, cedarwood sharper and cleaner, and amber warms both with a resinous sweetness. Nothing in the base is heavy, which keeps the whole thing light on its feet. A heavier base would have unbalanced the whole thing, and the restraint is deliberate rather than accidental. Reapplying at lunchtime is sensible if you want it to see out a long day.
As an eau de toilette it is designed for easy wear rather than endurance: expect several hours of pleasant presence and a soft close rather than an all day trail. It suits spring and autumn, daytime, and anyone who wants something pretty without weight. Tommy Hilfiger started his label in 1985 with one menswear collection and runs it from New York, PVH has owned the company since 2010, and its fragrances are produced under licence by the Estee Lauder Companies through Aramis.
