Tom Ford Vanille Fatale

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on rum, myrrh and olibanum, moves through barley, coffee and plum, and settles on madagascar vanilla, suede and tobacco.

• rum: boozy and sweet, with caramel warmth
• myrrh: dry bitter resin, smoky with a medicinal edge. Frankincense's darker counterpart

It lasts well and carries into a room.

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