Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, dried leaves, sweet and warm rather than like a lit cigarette.

It opens on tobacco leaf and spicy notes, moves through vanilla, cacao and tonka bean, and settles on dried fruits and woody notes.

• spicy notes: a general spiciness rather than any one spice
• vanilla: sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod, custard or the smell of a kitchen mid-bake

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
