The story behind the bottle.
Vanilla by Tom Ford launched in 2023 as a bold and modern interpretation of the classic oriental vanilla scent, reimagined for both women and men. This composition opens with a bright burst of vanilla that immediately draws you in, while powdery and woody accords lend warmth and depth to the heart. The balsamic sweetness adds an extra layer of richness, creating a fragrance that is comforting yet sophisticated.
Apply Vanilla by Tom Ford directly to pulse points for the best effect. The sweetness in the top notes is quick to develop but fades within an hour, making it ideal for daytime wear. As the base notes take over, they provide a subtle warmth that lasts through the evening.
