-
Neroli and saffron hover in the background, adding brightness and aromatic lift. Tom Ford Beauty+1

The prominent gourmand “kulfi” (a creamy, nutty dessert accord) is present, but tempered—less sugary, more integrated with spice and wood. Best Men’s Colognes+2I Fragrance Official+2
Heart & Development:
-
Leather emerges more clearly in the parfum version, cutting through the creamy gourmand heart in a refined manner. Fragrantica+2I Fragrance Official+2

Longevity: Typically reported around 7–8 hours or more, sometimes extended on fabrics. I Fragrance Official+2Best Men’s Colognes+2
