Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

Eau de Parfum Amber spicy, tobacco, gourmand Winter and autumn, cold evenings, formal dates, and black-tie gatherings

Aromatic tobacco leaf drenched in Madagascar vanilla, dark cacao, and warming spices: the gold standard of sweet tobacco fragrances.

Crafted for Tom Ford's exclusive Private Blend by perfumer Olivier Gillotin, Tobacco Vanille reinvents classic English gentleman's club scents with sumptuous gourmand indulgence. It opens boldly with dry tobacco leaf and a spicy chord of clove and ginger. The heart unfurls velvety vanilla pod, bitter cacao, and sweet tonka bean. The lingering base of rich dried fruits and woody sap gives the sillage a velvet texture that clings to wool coats and scarves for days.
