I blind bought the 10 ml to test it out, I had the same feeling about it! The notes seemed to clash more than blend. Upon the opening I even felt it smelled more medicinal on me before drying down to a sweeter scent with a touch of the burnt honey like you said. I like it, I don’t love it.
Thank you Robin for being authentic and speaking your true views on this, your priorities are admirable. You didn't sell out and are staying true unlike others. Thank you.
I don’t even need these videos anymore, Robin’s already changed my entire hair game. I just come here to let the commercials stream through and like the video. Thanks again mate.
I personally love it to be honest! My brother didn’t like it at first but it grew on him and now he doesn’t leave home without using it. It last very long on clothes from my experience. Even days after, there’ll be whiffs of the scent in the room and sometimes outside the room (when it’s windy). I was quite surprised that it’s not as popular as other scent actually.
I bought it the moment it arrived here. Initially wasn't share and it's definitely not my favourite but I have received the "is that you smelling so nice"? compliment when I wore this. I will say that I've smelt on different people and this really is very skin type dependent. The way it smells on me versus someone else was vastly different and weather conditions will play into the scent. I now wear this in the evening when it's cooler or during the day when it's autumn and it's beautiful for me. I wouldn't put it on my top 5 TF list either though. As Robin says, it's very subjective though. Worth going to smell for yourself.
i just bought it yesterday. i gotta say this one actually a perfect blend for summer fragnance. just like its name, burning sun, i tried this and went on outdoor activities under the sun and i am surprisingly amazed. the notes went well together under the heat. but if you are using it for indoors you will have the same reaction as robin. it smell like it fighting each other. but under the heat they all match perfectly.
You hit the nail on the head with the notes fighting, I like the burnt honey note though, but it is burnt a bit much when mixed with the leather, I got it 100ml for £80 ebay so I was lucky But I like to wear 1 spray with other fragrances. Zest for Life fragrances Stay Free & Stay Fresh
Completely agree with your thoughts on this one. I bought the travel spray to try it out and you were spot on with the comments about notes fighting for attention. The citrus isn’t as refreshing as I wanted, and the honey is burned as you said. I like it but not for that price.
Yay you reviewed the one I recommended! Thank you and have a nice day! On me, this lasts for 8+ hours and i can smell it on my clothes for days after initial spray. Im so sad to hear it doesnt perform very well on you ;-;
@@ManForHimself the top notes are fresh... But overall it smells like a classy old fashioned gentleman cologne. That's why I don't know how to wear it haha
Really wanted to like this. Been tempted to pick up a 10ml (British weather isn’t reliable enough for 50ml) but going to have to get my nose on it now.
Great video Robin. Do you think this will be a slow grower as sometimes I come back to fragrances that I once thought were ‘meh’ and I rediscover a stunning fragrance.
This was me after Tobacco Vanille: went out and bought it after watching Robin and the scent made me nauseous. Sprayed half a spray on the back of my ear for a week (which still made my tummy turn for the first few days) and then BAM, my favorite fragrance of all time! Sometimes it’s takes time for the body as a whole to work with a certain fragrance.
I’d love a decant ✅ - genuinely nice to see honesty and people not getting lost in Tom Ford the brand .. therefore it’s 5* .. ‘as a blind buy .. I f&8ked it 😂.
Did you know, there are 175 fragrance reviews on my website? manforhimself.com/products/?fwp_product_fragrance_category=fragrance
Absolutely great quality of production James, I love the color grading for this video as well.
Great honest Robin. Bought a 10ml and completely agree. Just not. You're comment I f... d it. Not a bad summation so many better TFs
Thank you but no grading on this one. Just played with balance on camera.
@@ManForHimself lovely colors in your apartment then!
I love the spice opening…and the drydown is just a beauty!

Its a bit much going on. Smells like a funky coffee peach cobbler. Horrid.

But I like to wear 1 spray with other fragrances.

Very Very Nice Robin! Good review as always! Heat wave here in Montana in the US Robin! Sick of the 100 degree heat!

From Dallas, Texas! I always enjoy your vids, Robin! Keep it up brotha.
Thanks Jay.

Same. It lasts about 16 hours on me.
@@Elena-er7zp It's eternal on clothing. I can smell strong whiffs of it on my cardigans hanging from my closet every time I pass by lol.
Never mind the review...where you get that shirt...me likey😀
Please review more Frédéric Malle fragrances!
Love your French Lover review
yea id love that aswell, because the ones ive smelt are amazing
Yes black honey in the middle notes then dries down to ombré leather smell
Now that is honest! Excellent! I was tempted by this one. Did you get any feedback from Tom’s PR?
Nice hair! Nice shirt! Nice everything about this video!
Anyways, do you have any recommendations on how or when to wear Penhaligon's Esprit Du Roi?
It's one I don't know. Fresh?
@@ManForHimself the top notes are fresh... But overall it smells like a classy old fashioned gentleman cologne. That's why I don't know how to wear it haha
Do you going to review Santal Blush by Tom
I love your fragrance vids! Simple message but true! 👍
Really wanted to like this. Been tempted to pick up a 10ml (British weather isn’t reliable enough for 50ml) but going to have to get my nose on it now.
I love my 10ml travel spray Soleil Brulant . A little goes a long way. Strong perfume to me.
Great video Robin. Do you think this will be a slow grower as sometimes I come back to fragrances that I once thought were ‘meh’ and I rediscover a stunning fragrance.
I'd like to think, Mark, but I'm pretty sure it won't be unfortunately.

Hey Robin where do you usually get your clothes from? Also what do you use in your hair to keep it so healthy??
Can you do a review of forte series styling cream ?
Hey I can only find one. Can you tell me what season it fits in? Falls? Summer? Winter smell? Indoor or outdoor smell?
You look great in the video, it is clear and bright.
Awesome shirt, very jealous of your very blue eyes. Jeez.
Thank you. I like shooting in my living room.
Nice video bro ! i hope you make more videos.. 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks Sedki.
@@ManForHimself you're welcome 🥰
It’s £336 for 50ml as of today (11/07/23) on the TF website 🤯
what men's hair product do you recommend for thin hair? are paste good?
Can you also do a review for Clive Christian Masukita?
Thanks Robin for another great subjective review.....
I love this channel ❤
Thank you, Damien.
Review Black Orchid next you’ll love it
Have done! manforhimself.com/products/?fwp_search=black%20orchid%20tom%20ford
I love you Robin and I love ur content
Just got it and can’t make it work. I think is too strong for women. More of a masculine one to me. Because of the notes I was not expecting this. :(
It’s horrendous. It literally makes me nauseous 😭
would paying £130 instead of £228 lead to a different rating?
Ha ha... I did think this, but no, unlikely.
It’s way too sweet for me
I’d love a decant ✅ - genuinely nice to see honesty and people not getting lost in Tom Ford the brand .. therefore it’s 5* .. ‘as a blind buy .. I f&8ked it 😂.
I hear you! People get lost in the name... or trying not to piss someone off. It's art. It's subjective. Chill.
Will work out how I do the decants.
True
Review Elysium by Roja Parfums!
Unfortunately dont really like it at all. I love Tom Ford but this is disappointing.
Sickeningly sweet 🤢
The opening is a hot mess.
