Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup
Tom Ford Eau D'Ombre Leather comes ready to use. Simply remove the cap and depress the sprayer. For first-time use, you may need to pump the sprayer a few times to prime it until a fine mist appears.
Skin Compatibility
Fragrances are generally well-tolerated, but individual skin sensitivities can vary. If you have sensitive skin:
- Patch Test: Before applying widely, spray a small amount on an inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner elbow) and wait 24 hours to check for any redness, itching, or irritation.
- Avoid Direct Application to Irritated Skin: Do not apply fragrance to broken, inflamed, or recently shaved skin.
Product Care and Storage
Proper storage helps maintain the integrity and longevity of your fragrance:
- Keep in a Cool, Dark Place: Store the bottle away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures (hot or cold), and high humidity. A closet or drawer is ideal.
- Keep the Cap On: Always replace the cap securely after use. This prevents evaporation and protects the sprayer from dust and air exposure, which can degrade the scent over time.
- Avoid Shaking: Excessive shaking is generally not recommended as it can introduce air into the bottle and potentially accelerate the breakdown of fragrance molecules.
Travel Considerations
When traveling, ensure the cap is tightly secured. For air travel, consider placing the bottle in a sealed plastic bag to prevent any potential leaks due to pressure changes. For carry-on luggage, be mindful of liquid volume restrictions.
