Tommy into the Surf

6.4

Tommy Hilfiger · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Tommy Hilfiger Tommy into the Surf is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance, with an aquatic and green side tempered by spice. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it suits someone who wants a light scent that stays close rather than one that leaves a strong trail. It reads masculine. With so few votes, there is no clear picture of the season or setting it favours. Cardamom, bitter orange and galangal open fresh with a slightly bitter edge. In the heart, ginger, violet, white pepper and clary sage add a spicy, green touch. Vetiver and ebony form a woody base. Fruity and sweet tones stay in the background. Mugler A*Men Pure Shot / Pure Energy and Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Tonic have a close profile.
