Courtney says: The texts and Slack messages that have been exchanged between Erin and me about this fragrance should probably be examined by a psychologist, but the verdict is in: This is the best fragrance launched this year. It perfectly combines peach, davana, and patchouli to envelope the senses in an aroma reminiscent of a beach vacation. It's so damn good.
Erin says: I know I'm making it seem like we hyperventilate a lot about beauty products, but (A) we kind of do, and (B) this perfume is so freaking good that a few hearty heaves are inevitable. I don't know if you're ready for this. I mean, I still don't know if even I am ready for this, but here goes: Bitter Peach is my favorite fragrance of all time. I have never smelled something so juicy, complex, and all-around addicting. It lingers and melts into your skin for a really warm and beautiful finish, but the mix of peach, davana (an aromatic herb native to India), and patchouli is so unique—I've never smelt anything like it. I can't get over it, and the second I spritzed it, I knew it was over for me and every other perfume I ever claimed to love (with the exception of Dior's Oud Rosewood, of course). I told Courtney about it immediately, and when she got her hands on it and couldn't contain herself either, it was the last sign I needed to know Tom Ford has another truly legendary perfume on its hands. Please, just buy it. It will be the best thing you gift yourself maybe ever. Normally, I say fragrance and perfume are extremely subjective, but this bottle just might be the exception.
