Introducing NO. 3101

NO. 3101 oozes opulence and sensuality. It conjures scarlet red silk sheets with a glass of cherry liqueur, the cut glass crystal glinting in candlelight. Luxurious, sensual, and temptingly alluring.
Choosing the Right Option Of NO. 3101 - Inspired by Lost Cherry by Tom Ford For Your Project
Use the Soaps & Candles variation of NO. 3101 - Inspired by Lost Cherry by Tom Ford to make anything from makeup, toiletries, bath and shower products, to laundry detergents and room sprays. This can also be used for diffuser blends; however, if you have a Nebulizing or Cold Air Diffuser, choose the specially formulated Diffuser variation of NO. 3101 - Inspired by Lost Cherry by Tom Ford.
Tash’s Recommendation: One bottle of NO. 3101 - Inspired by Lost Cherry by Tom Ford Soaps & Candles fragrance oil covers a multitude of uses and goes a really long way; it is well worth buying the 120ml version so you can complete most of these home and beauty projects.
