Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum — Eau de Parfum, 100 ml. Tom Ford's Private Blend benchmark: a pipe-tobacco and vanilla accord so distinctive it created an entire genre of imitators.

What Tobacco Vanille smells like

Tobacco Vanille opens on tobacco leaf and spice — dry, warm and immediately recognisable — before vanilla, cacao and tonka bean turn it into something closer to a dessert made of pipe tobacco. Tobacco blossom keeps a faint floral thread in the heart, and dried fruits in the base add a jammy, slightly boozy richness. This is the heaviest fragrance in the Steelixe catalogue: dense, sweet, resinous and extremely long-lasting on skin and fabric.

Top notes are Tobacco Leaf and Spicy Notes; the heart is Vanilla, Cacao, Tonka Bean and Tobacco Blossom; the base settles on Dried Fruits and Woody Notes.

When to wear it

Winter nights, full stop. It is at its best in the cold, and a single spray goes a long way — in Egyptian summer heat it becomes overwhelming. It is at its best in winter and autumn, it is a harder wear in spring and summer.
