Vanilla Sex by Tom Ford
Launch Year: 2023
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Fragrance Profile:
Part of the Tom Ford Private Blend collection, an intensely sensual take on the vanilla note. Indian Vanilla and Vanilla Absolute open with a rich, syrupy and deeply gourmand sweetness, paired with the soft sharpness of Orris Root for contrast. Jasmine adds a delicate white floral lift to the heart, while a distinctive Animal Note brings warmth and a skin-like, slightly carnal depth. Sandalwood closes with a smooth, creamy and lingering woody base that grounds the vanilla in something far more complex than a typical gourmand.
Performance:
Good longevity with a warm, close-to-skin projection. The sandalwood-vanilla base lingers for hours, with the animalic facet becoming more pronounced as the fragrance develops on skin.
Ideal For:
Autumn and winter, and intimate evening occasions. A genuinely polarizing unisex gourmand for those who want vanilla done with depth and a sensual, skin-like edge rather than pure sweetness — bold, intimate and unmistakably Tom Ford.
