ATEEZ SMALL PERFUME REVIEW: TOM FORD — WHITE SUEDE

disclaimer: this is not meant to be a serious perfume review, this is something fun for me to do as I love perfume. each and every one of us have different tastes and preferences when it comes to fragrances. what works for me might not work for you, vice versa. I’ll try my best to describe the scents but I will always suggest for you to go and smell them yourself before purchase. if you want to try these perfumes, please test or get a sample before committing to the bottle. picture credits to all owners.

ateez member: wooyoung

fragrance family: warm floral

notes:

top — thyme, tea

heart — lily of the valley, saffron, rose

base — suede, musk, sandalwood, olibanum, amber

my scent experience:

the fragrance opens very clean and herbaceous from the thyme but it’s not strong so it doesn’t hit you square in the face like other clean scents. as it settles, the fragrance becomes floral with the rose and it’s slightly spicy from the saffron but the dominant scent is rose. the dry down is warm, woody, and musky from the sandalwood and amber. I wasn’t so sure what suede really smells like but they described it as a musky and warm scent so I think the name is pretty accurate. think of someone who smells like florals giving you a warm hug on a suede couch.

the projection is on the subtle side and for a Tom Ford fragrance, you want people to know you’re wearing one. longevity wise, it only lasted around 2 hours on me which is not ideal especially when you’re spending a lot on a fragrance. I remember this smelling a lot more stronger before but I believe they reformulated it when they revamped the bottle.

additional notes from me:

White Suede is a popular fragrance in the private line and I remember first smelling this in 2019 after reading that NCT’s Jaehyun wore this perfume. I also remember someone here reviewed it saying it smells like a boyfriend (don’t have one so I can’t verify this). to me, it smells nice but it’s nothing extraordinary and I have yet to find a Tom Ford fragrance that blows my mind. I’ll need to experiment more with their line which I’m always down to try out fragrances.

who would I recommend this to?

anyone who likes warm florals with a musky dry down.

those who prefer fragrances on the cleaner and softer side.

anyone who wants to try out Tom Ford fragrances (private line).

if you’ve made it to the end, thank you for reading this review!! it’s been a while since I’ve written a review as I’ve been busy with work but I’m still here!! I also had two concerts that were six days apart so I was preparing myself for those. I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know what your favorite fragrances are!!

“When he was nine years old, Peter Tork’s parents bought him a piano for $15. He taught himself to play and read music. But then his parents delivered an ultimatum: either take piano lessons or don’t touch the piano again.” - article by Lisa Stenza, Connecticut Daily Campus, February 26, 1982 “I owe a lot to my piano lessons. At one point I switched from playing Beethoven and Mozart to theory. And I learned how to spell chords, you know like, ‘what’s an F# minor chord?’ and when I took up guitar I would say, ‘OK, what’s the next note in such-and-such a chord above the note on the string? How many frets do I have to get up to, to play a note that’s in the chord I want.’ And I came up with some unusual formations too, like that add-4 chord I mentioned earlier. [i.e.] [In ‘For Pete’s Sake’] the chord on the word ‘Everything,’ — which is a 7-add-4, which is a highly unusual chord. It sort of fell out of my hands on the guitar. […] I wrote a set of chords [in college] once and thought, ‘Gosh, this is great.’ I couldn’t think of anything to do with them. A couple years later I wrote ‘Can You Dig It,’ to those chords. They were… let’s see: D-minor to B-flat major 7th to an E diminished 9th chord. That’s a really interesting way to set it up to the V chord. Or to look at it another way: we’re in A — Arab scale, which is — I don’t want to get too heavy. But it’s an unusual scale in Western music, in pop music. And it worked fine for me. I was just really glad. It just fell out of my hands again. It really felt good.” - Peter Tork, Shanley On Music, 2014 (x)

[violant-apologia]

13 & 98 for spotify asks!! 👀

13 is mask of the rose! again, writing music, but i also sometimes put on the MotR, SSea and SSkies OSTs when i'm playing or writing specifically FL stuff so its trended a bit higher than other writing jams

and 98 is suede! they're not necessarily in line with my other music tastes buuuuuuuuuut my uncle is their guitarist, so i see them live a lot. she still leads me on is an absolute banger though

A look at songwriter and composer Tork:

Q: "From what sources do you draw your songwriting inspirations?" Peter Tork: "Sometimes just a phrase or a word catches my fancy. Then I hear a musical line. I try to figure out what kinds of sounds are coming out. Basically I just go by the sound. Then I try to find words that sound like they belong there." - Blitz!, November/December 1987 Q: "How do you write a song. What starts you off." Peter Tork: "Pretty women start me off, and there’s no one way to write. Sometimes someone says something that sounds interesting, and you jot it down. Sometimes you find yourself humming something that you realize you haven’t exactly heard before. The hard part is 'asking' for the inspiration to get the other parts, other verses, bridges, if any, etc." - Beachwood Confidential Newsletter, 1995 "I’m really pleased that the stuff that I have written has been a little outside the mainstream. [...] [In 'For Pete's Sake,' one chord] is a 7-add-4, which is a highly unusual chord. It sort of fell out of my hands on the guitar. [...] I wrote a set of chords once [in college] and thought, 'Gosh, this is great.' I couldn’t think of anything to do with them. A couple years later I wrote 'Can You Dig It,' to those chords. They were… let’s see: D-minor to B-flat major 7th to an E diminished 9th chord. That’s a really interesting way to set it up to the V chord. Or to look at it another way: we’re in A — Arab scale, which is— I don’t want to get too heavy. But it’s an unusual scale in Western music, in pop music. And it worked fine for me. I was just really glad. It just fell out of my hands again. It really felt good." - Peter Tork, Shanley On Music, 2014 "I like to sit at home and play piano and write stuff. I have a blues band. This coming January, I’m going to be going down to Lexington, Kentucky. I’m going to have them play a piece I wrote for piano and orchestra. It’s fairly brief. It’s seven minutes long. They’ll be doing some pop music, it’s a pops orchestra. But I’ll have them tackle this thing I wrote." - Peter Tork, ibid "[As a songwriter, Peter] was always trying to do something which you hadn’t heard. Which is pretty rare, because many of the hit songs that you hear are derivative, they sound like some other hit song. Peter always wanted to write something that you hadn’t heard before. […] I mean, his writing was interesting, you know, and fun to play. Always surprising.“ - James Lee Stanley, The Monkees Pad Show
