  • Tom Ford Ébène Fumé first impressions and a little layering trick! Pop in and see Dev on the Tom Ford counter at Fenwick in Brent Cross shopping centre. Such a great guy! This is customer service at its best.
    I had shot this for Instagram during a visit to Brent Cross Shopping Centre this week. This little section deserved some time and love on RUclips though. I hope you enjoy it.

    Ebène Fumé was released in Canada about 10 days ago. I blind purchased a 50 ml bottle. Absolutely no regrets. The listed notes are detectible at opening and throughout the dry down. It opens similar to Santal Blush, but spicier, sweeter, and darker, and less woody. Sillage is mild - moderate as is the scent strength. I also have a 50 ml bottle of Santal Blush. But for many, the differences in scent between EB and Santal Blush may not warrant owning both. Overall, EB is a rather enjoyable fragrance, but I would consider this release to be more evolutionary than revolutionary in the overall line of TF's Private Blend collection. Cheers.

      I just got EF and also recieved a sample of Santal blush, I would say the biggest difference is that Santal smells more mature, you could pull it off if youre an older gent or gal as well, where as EB seems more prone to a younger crowd. Both marvelous and seriously considering getting my own Santal bottle.
      All the best!

    I bought the Tuscan Leather and he went the extra mile to show us the combination with sandal blush,and the oud wood with rose prick.
    If Tom Ford gets a boutique in London he should be in it representing the brand.
    Thank you Dev!!!

    Have you ever tried the first iteration of this fragrance? It’s called Bentley for Men Intense and it’s like $25.

    Launches Nov 30? I've had it since Nov 4, and saw lots of people on youtube reviewed it even earlier.
