Tiffany & Co.
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The mandarin hits with immediate brightness, its natural oils sharpened considerably by cardamom's peppery bite, whilst ginger adds a subtle warmth that prevents it from becoming too sharp. You're greeted with a zesty, almost bergamot-like freshness that feels very much like a contemporary designer cologne.
As the citrus retreats, the herbal-woody skeleton becomes apparent: cypress and juniper create a distinctly green, mineral atmosphere whilst lavender and geranium soften the edges without surrendering the composition's dry character. There's a slightly soapy quality here, the synthetic base becoming more noticeable as the top notes fade.
Sandalwood and vetiver emerge alongside the "Blue Sequoia," creating a woody-aquatic finish that's pleasant but increasingly abstract and thin. The fragrance has largely dissolved into skin scent territory, offering little projection but a faint, slightly ozonic whisper that lingers as more memory than presence.
Tiffany & Love for Him opens with the kind of freshness that feels almost architectural in its precision—mandarin and cardamom create a bright, slightly peppery citrus accord that's immediately alert and conversational rather than meditative. Sophie Labbé has constructed something determinedly unisex here, which means it refuses the typical masculine weight of a traditional cologne. Instead, the composition sits in that peculiar space between crisp cologne and something with genuine substance.
The heart is where the fragrance reveals its actual character: cypress and juniper build a green, almost resinous frame around geranium and lavender, creating an effect that's herbal without being medicinal. This isn't a soft lavender—it's brightened by the geranium's slightly tart, almost rose-like character, whilst the cypress adds a mineral dryness that prevents the whole affair from becoming powdery or sentimental. The synthetic accord (76%) is noticeable here; there's a clean, slightly plasticky quality that some will find refreshing and others will recognise as distinctly commercial.
