EDITORIAL“Eau de Tommi Sooni II: A Quirky Honeyed Floral for Spring”
The opening of Eau de Tommi Sooni II hits the nose with an instant, bracing sourness. The tartness of rhubarb is front and center, backed by the bright, zesty sparkle of Amalfi lemon and bergamot. It is a sharp, green introduction that feels like walking through a damp garden in early spring. This biting acidity keeps the fragrance from feeling sluggish or heavy right out of the gate.
As the citrus edges soften, the heart of the perfume reveals a dense, waxy floral character. Narcissus and ylang-ylang take the lead, bringing a yellow, pollen-rich texture to the composition. Jasmine adds a clean, white floral undertone, but it plays second fiddle to the earthier, slightly indolic nature of the narcissus. During this phase, the scent feels thick and substantial, sitting firmly on the skin.
The dry-down is where the warmth truly develops, as a rich note of white honey begins to coat the florals. Vanilla and amber join the honey, creating a sweet, balsamic warmth that balances the earlier green notes. Fortunately, a dry, structured sandalwood base prevents the honey from becoming sticky or cloying, ensuring the scent retains its woody structure even after several hours of wear.
In terms of performance, the fragrance delivers a solid six to eight hours on the skin. Sillage is moderate, projecting about arm's length in mild weather before settling into a soft, powdery hum. It is best suited for transitional seasons, particularly spring and autumn, when the cool air prevents the sweet base notes from becoming overwhelming.
This perfume fits an audience looking for something distinct from the current crop of minimalist scents. It has a vintage complexity that demands a bit of attention, making it ideal for casual daytime wear or creative work environments. It is a mature, thoughtful composition that does not feel old-fashioned, but rather independent and full of character.
If you dislike waxy yellow florals or heavy honey, you will want to skip this one. However, for those who love green openings that transition into warm, resinous woods, it is a rewarding experience. It is a unique bottle that rewards patience, showing different facets of its character as the day progresses.
FAQs
What does Eau de Tommi Sooni II smell like?+

You can expect between six and eight hours of wear. The honey and sandalwood base notes linger close to the skin during the final hours, making it durable enough for a full day at the office.
What is the sillage and projection of this perfume?+
It projects moderately, creating a scent bubble about arm's length for the first two hours. It is noticeable to those standing nearby without taking over a room, which makes it safe for indoor gatherings.
Which season is best suited for Eau de Tommi Sooni II?+
Spring and autumn are the ideal seasons for this scent. The cool breeze of these transitional months helps balance the heavy sweetness of white honey with the crisp, green edges of rhubarb.

It fits a creative office environment or daytime formal events like outdoor spring weddings. The polished combination of narcissus and sandalwood feels sophisticated and clean, pairing well with structured linen or cotton clothing.
Does Eau de Tommi Sooni II lean masculine or feminine?+
This scent is truly unisex. While the floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang leans traditionally feminine, the dry woodiness of sandalwood and the tartness of rhubarb give it a balanced, gender-neutral appeal.
Who is the ideal audience for this perfume?+
It suits fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate vintage-leaning, complex floral compositions. If you are tired of modern, sugary sweet perfumes and want something with green, honeyed depth, this is for you.
Can I layer Eau de Tommi Sooni II with other scents?+
You can layer it with a simple, dry vetiver or cedar fragrance. Adding a woody single-note base helps cut through the heavy sweetness of the yellow floral and white honey heart, adding a dry edge.
Is Eau de Tommi Sooni II a safe blind buy?+
No, this is definitely a sample-first purchase. The combination of narcissus, waxy ylang-ylang, and sweet white honey can feel polarizing if you are only used to clean, aquatic, or simple vanilla scents.
