Tom Ford’s “Soleil” collection features three different takes on what a sunny adventure would smell like, and Soleil Brulant is the most interesting. Where Soleil Neige, Blanc, and De Fu are playful, lighter interpretations, Soleil Brulant is what happens when orange blossom, black honey, and pink pepper lay out in the sun for long. The result? A spicy, toasty vacation scent that reminds you of summer days but could also work as a cold-weather scent.
Notes: Orange blossom, amber, black honey accord, pink pepper

An ELLE editor says: “My introduction to Tom Ford’s Soleil collection was through the shimmering body oils, so once I received the Soleil Brulant version, I knew I had to get my hands on the eau de parfum. This scent is uniquely sunny and bright, with a dark edge that emerges as it dries down; cinnamon and pink pepper offer the spiciness.”—Nerisha Penrose, ELLE.com beauty commerce editor
