LoveMe The Onyx
LoveMe The Onyx Eau de Parfum Gift Set is the darkest and warmest reading of the LoveMe The Onyx idea, and it opens in a way few fragrances at this price do. Hazelnut comes first, toasted and nutty rather than sweet, with grapefruit cutting across it so the start is bitter and bright at the same time, and peony adding a cool watery flower in between. The middle goes deeper: black orchid is rich and faintly inky, heliotrope soft, almondy and a little powdery beside it, and together they give the scent its velvety middle hours. The end is where it settles for good, vanilla warm and unhurried, sandalwood creamy, and vetiver running dry and earthy underneath so the sweetness never becomes cloying. Olivier Cresp composed it and it dates from 2020.
This is an eau de parfum and it behaves like one, so two sprays are enough and they will still be with you in the evening. Autumn and winter are its natural season, and it is better after dark than at a desk; it suits someone who likes a warm, sweet fragrance but wants the nuts and the wood in it rather than pure sugar. Give it twenty minutes on skin before you judge it, because the grapefruit at the start is not where it ends up. It is sold as a set, which makes it a straightforward present for someone who already wears Tous, and it is the most substantial Tous set on the shelf, so it is the one to pick when the present has to stand on its own.
Tous dates itself to 1920, when Salvador Tous Blavi was an apprentice watchmaker, and the company grew out of the small watch repair workshop he and Teresa Ponsa ran in Manresa, which is still the site of the head office. Jewellery and the bear motif are what most people know it for, and fragrance arrived alongside bags, watches and eyewear from 2000.
