$400 is crazy. When I got my first TF private line in 2008, I think I got it for under $235 retail for 50ml. The price now is just insulting, as a consumer.
I smelled it at Sephora and I loved the opening. The dry down is pretty good too, but I'm sensitive to nuttiness, and this is pretty nutty in the dry down. Great review though. It's been awesome seeing your progression.
$400 for 50ml?!?! I almost bought it until the negative reviews. I searched high and low for a non-artificial vanilla scent and I just discovered Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain and got the 100ml for a similar price and it lasts alllll day and smells so rich of vanilla bean and notes of rum.
Thank you so much. I am a ton for a fan, but very pricey and I haven’t smelled it yet but thank you for the information I might go with the recommendation you suggest on the other fragrance. Thanks again.😊
I was wondering why the top note was so funky when I initially spritzed my wrist with it today - glad to know it's not just me and you also found it synthetic/plasticky. I did love the way it developed into a more vanilla, almost white chocolate base note over the course of the day. I was getting a strong chocolatey smell at the dinner table and I couldn't realize at first why LOL. Honestly I couldn't stop smelling my wrist in private. I love the after-smell, but like you said, not worth the $400 price tag for a 50 mL bottle (if you can even call that a bottle!) - as someone who is an avid user of TF's classics like Noir De Noir, Costa Azzurra, the pricing saddens me. Makes a 70 mL MFK fragrance look like a bargain for that price!
Tom Ford is moving upmarket. After the success of Bitter Peach, they've been launching new fragrances like Cherry smoke and now this Vanilla fragrance. It is a smart move from a business perspective because Tom Ford's brand is still solid.
I got it as Christmas gift , I like it but not love it , the dry down is nice sandalwood vanilla and creamy almond , I think it will be better after macerate . The price is insane .
Disgusted with this perfume. Silly me, I blind bought. It smells. Of. NOTHING. I have over so many cheap, designed, niche perfumes, you name it. This was gone from my skin after two minutes. DO NOT BLIND BUY! My own fault 😡
Got the fragrance last week and it is absolutely NOT worth the price tag. Beautiful sent for sure, but it doesn't blow me away. Sillage and projection are minimal, and it doesn't last on skin. Overall, disappointing.
Pricey doesn't always mean exelent quality. I will sometimes ask a females advice but would rather try before y buy something. Money is not an issue but I like to see the real reaction on a females response on the samples. Then I take it from there.
I have yet to try a Tom Ford fragrance that’s worth the money. Don’t get me wrong, some of them are okay, but not good enough for the price. Initio is good for the price, BDK is good for the price, Dyptique is good for the price, MFK, just to name a few. Tom Ford just ain’t it. The DNA of their fragrances is not exciting or unique at all, and most of them not even last long. So this review is not surprising to me. I would have been shocked if it was all around a good fragrance 😂
Tom Ford marketing is just testing the reception I bet, see how far they can push the price tag for fragrances before sales actually dip a significant amount. I'll stick to older TF Frags like Noir Extreme personally, much better value.
Smells super synthetic to me and then like vanilla play doh in the dry down- actually reminded me a lot of hypnotic poison on my skin. My Mom said it smelled like root beer to her.
Hey Erica, Great review indeed, thx a lot for the year2023, wishing you all Happiness prosperity and success in year2024 ❄️❤️✨️🎇🎆 Costa too much, bought Tom Ford F-fabulous 50ml for 330 for a while ago ,I am good:)
Even I have read hundreds of negative review on this bottle, I still disappointed when I first smell this. The opening is really a no for me, the plasticky is weird and the boring in the dry down. I can't find a reason to grab this bottle even at discounters. Crazy Tom Ford with the overpricing and boring notes.
Erica,,my precious sweet heart i want request you,please you do the one episode battle between two perfumes ,one perfume is your most favourit ,,,via cavour 1 by xerjoff , and my super most favourit perfume is ,,dulce diablo by Narcotica.,im so desprate about this battle episode,,but you go in public with both perfumes,,let's see who is the champ......
A better TF vanilla option would be Vanille Fatale. Darker vanilla with a slight floral sweetness is way better IMO than an extremely heavy vanilla of this one
Over-priced Tom Ford nonsense. Give it an edgy, controversial name to whip up some hype for what is a boring, one-dimensional fragrance. Welcome to Estée Lauder.
It smelled disgusting on me. Like pee soaked diapers doused with baby powder to camouflage the stench. After 5 minutes it morphed into BO and sweaty pajamas. BARF!

You do understand that 235 in 2008 is basically the same as 400 in 2024 due to inflation right?
@@krispybowgod9656 it would be around $330...
@@krispybowgod9656 you do know there are inflation calculators online....rite?
Yip and it is not Tom Ford anymore. These perfumes are sold under TF brand but he is not participate into creating perfumes anymore.
I legitimately love this fragrance. It’s the best and tastiest vanilla gourmand their is hands down.

THANKS FOR THE HONESTY, SANTAL BLUSH IS STILL MY FAVORITE.

I love how honest you are .
Always ❤️
The world is let down? Good Christ this is the best perfume I’ve ever ever smelled.
It’s especially exceptional paired with a cup of hot coffee or black tea. Best “edible” scent I’ve smelled so far.

Honest review, really appreciate.😊
I visited urban dictionary ... I will never look at those frags the same way.
Bitter peach was wild to learn...
@@snowpeakerEXACTLY
Incoming clone for 50-60$ thats worth it 😂
I have ebene fume from them (for way less) and a travel size of tobacco vanille but overal the scents aren't amazing enough for these crazy prices.
I love Tom Ford Fragrances, but ... the Price Tag of that is out of this world! 🤨
after I found out what “bitter peach” means on urban dictionary I am never touching the bottle ever again at sephora
There is nothing in this world that woulda make me pay $400 for a fragrance, specially Tom Ford.
Haha! Fully agreed. I would pay that for a different brand though, but not TF.
Disgusted with this perfume. Silly me, I blind bought. It smells. Of. NOTHING. I have over so many cheap, designed, niche perfumes, you name it. This was gone from my skin after two minutes. DO NOT BLIND BUY! My own fault 😡

Is it unisex?

lmao i sprayed it on my wrist at sephora and tried to rub it off
Can’t wait to try this!
I find BDK velvet tonka is a good alternative
TF has some amazing perfumes, Even ,TV, Soleil de feu, Black orchid, Beau de jour, etch etch
Estee Lauder ruined the Tom Ford enterprise after they purchased the brand.
Yeah just feels like one big soulless cash grab now.
Before at least there felt like some artistry, originality, innovation.
Hi will you review the new oud minerale
Wow. I just picked up Noir Extreme Parfum to go along with Ombre Leather. Both pricey but worth it. This stuff tho, I don’t think so...yikes
Just bought 250 ML for 1K USD today. I think it is a good sleep scent
not disapointed at all because i didnt expect anything in the first place
Smells super synthetic to me and then like vanilla play doh in the dry down- actually reminded me a lot of hypnotic poison on my skin. My Mom said it smelled like root beer to her.
Went to smell it with my girlfriend and it instantly reminded me of play doh as well!! Super unappealing !
It doesn’t smell like play doh
It's an Esteé Lauder fragrance for 400€. In its core it is a boring and a _not_ good smash of different vanilla sorts. It's insane.
Wait for Maison Alhambra’s Vanilla Sax 🎷 instead.
Hello! I live in Florida. Can we please get lattes and talk about fragrances, PLEEEEASE!😃
The price is to rich for my blood😂
Fan of TOM FORD fragrances since 2010
Still underrated but….🤫
Wait for lattafs to do a version of it
Hey Erica, Great review indeed, thx a lot for the year2023, wishing you all Happiness prosperity and success in year2024 ❄️❤️✨️🎇🎆 Costa too much, bought Tom Ford F-fabulous 50ml for 330 for a while ago ,I am good:)
After TF was sold to Estee Lauder , prices went up with no reason. Poor performance, cheap materials. .. RIP TF !
Nope. The prices were up before TF sold the entire thing.
Fucking Fabulous was the first one to jump into the $300s and that was in 2017.
Even I have read hundreds of negative review on this bottle, I still disappointed when I first smell this. The opening is really a no for me, the plasticky is weird and the boring in the dry down. I can't find a reason to grab this bottle even at discounters. Crazy Tom Ford with the overpricing and boring notes.
They just have a gorgeius elegant bottle design and a sexy name but nahhh the scent is far a way worst. Very simply we expect very seductive fragrance
The price is genuinely insulting. This has nothing exciting and brings 0 emotion. Cash grab.
Erica,,my precious sweet heart i want request you,please you do the one episode battle between two perfumes ,one perfume is your most favourit ,,,via cavour 1 by xerjoff , and my super most favourit perfume is ,,dulce diablo by Narcotica.,im so desprate about this battle episode,,but you go in public with both perfumes,,let's see who is the champ......
A better TF vanilla option would be Vanille Fatale. Darker vanilla with a slight floral sweetness is way better IMO than an extremely heavy vanilla of this one
TF fragrances are made in New Jersey. I’m good off these ridiculously overpriced fragrances.
Not a fan of this at all. Especially because of the price. It smells like a bottle of vanilla extract
TF is lame... You guys need to stop over hyping then he will stop over pricing, this is crazy 🤣🤣🤣
I’d rather buy two bottles of via cavor 1
Tom Ford is a shell of what it used to be. A very overpriced shell.
I like it but not for $400. 😮
Eeek and I thought Italica smelled like a yankee candle if this is more synthetic.... yikes
The prices are absolutely not worth it.
Over-priced Tom Ford nonsense. Give it an edgy, controversial name to whip up some hype for what is a boring, one-dimensional fragrance. Welcome to Estée Lauder.
Very well said.
Yep. Tom Ford has become a soulless Estée Lauder cash grab.
Tom Ford fan
Hola Erica, eres guapísima. Qué te opinas de Acqua di Parma Zafferano. Un cordial saludo.
Heard this one is total yum! Can’t wait to smell it
No way brand tom ford for 50ml haha
Wow class
And some say Gucci Elixir is expensive,lol
vanilla and wet diapers.
Doesn't worth it
Tom ford prize is not normale anymore
I absolutely hated it.
This is the first negative review I have seen.
Absolutamente no projection
It smelled disgusting on me. Like pee soaked diapers doused with baby powder to camouflage the stench. After 5 minutes it morphed into BO and sweaty pajamas. BARF!
What a babe
Tom Ford, shame on you. Your prices are ridiculous...
Nabivam
Was I the only one that smelled the sex scent in this fragrance?
