I can't get enough of Tobacco Vanille. Best smelling rich scent (for me) I've ever come across.

[@Parris1586]

Great video btw. Some of the line is great but the price tag makes them hard to justify a lot of the time. Oud Wood is another favourite, along with Tuscan Leather, although I've just been bought Ombre Leather Parfum, so it'll be interesting to see how that compares.

Vanille Fatale is 11/10 for me 😍 I hate tobacco, so it’s the perfect alternative to tobacco vanille. It’s so dark, mysterious and warm. Not a too sweet vanilla which makes it perfectly unisex.

[@GSC084]

I agree on the simplicity of Myrrhe Mystere. I got it as a gift and find it alright as daily driver vs the Amouage Interlude. I also own the Bois Maroccain. I agree with the 7,5. It was a duty free purchase that I am trying not to regret. It makes me smell better than the majority of people, but not in the same league as my other niche perfumes.

[@mangehd6262]

This content is absolutely amazing i love seeing these videos in specific because they give such a great rundown of an entire lineup, obviously these aren't exactly easy to make either so it is much appreciated especially since my taste seems to align somewhat with yours. i would love to see Xerjoffs lineup next or at least as an episode one day, would love to see more opinions on what has easily become my favorite house.

Completely agree that old school Tom Ford Private Blend offerings were very special. Unfortunately, their new offerings over the past few years have been tremendous letdowns and have sullied the brand as far as I am concerned.

[@jpop-qg5gj]

Totally agree! They have discontinued their more interesting scents for the more familiar and similar - vanilla, tobacco and oud… there seems to be a lot with these notes.

I missed Sole di Positano. One of my favorites. It is unisex & unbelievably pleasant. There was an Acqua version too.

[@jakobeisl7569]

hey Omar, can you maybe do a video about reformulated fragrances one day? I don't understand why a lot of brands do that, is it just about money or are there any other reasons? I bought PDM Layton a few months ago and I am really disappointed with the performance. I get about 5-6 hours. I think it has also been reformulated because a lot reviews say the longevity should be about 10+ hours. Best Wishes from Austria to my favorite fragrance KZbinr

[@elenikiroy]

I have been wondering exactly the same thing. I suppose because the ingredients are cheaper, the brand is making much more money from the ever escalating prices, but ultimately it will turn buyers away, and compromise the reputation of the brand, so it's bad policy and kind of goes against the entire point of the artistry behind the original fragrance creation 🤷🏽

[@ChildofGodforevr]

Greed and ppl are not buying as much as they used to. That’s why I always advise ppl to buy any new perfume release and if u love it buy back ups because after the first year release, it will be severely reformulated. They release a nice strong formula to hook ppl in, then they weaken it and often reformulate with cheaper ingredients. The perfume industry is corrupt AF. Ppl have no idea. I have started supporting small Niche and Independent perfumers . They are the only ones who I trust to use the best ingredients and keep it consistent. Look at early Tom Ford, before he sold out, his perfumes were beautiful,artistic, innovative and lasted a long time on skin. Not anymore. And all the big Niche and Designer brands do it. Oh and my favorite deception, release an extrait version, charge a lot more for what the original USED to be. Despicable . And we allow them to rip us off by buying their reformulations. Either buy new releases or vintage . The rest is crap .

I am just getting into Tom Ford fragrances; I have Oud Wood and Ombré Leather. Really like both of those. As we are coming out of winter I am looking for a couple more for spring and fall and I think this list gave me some good options. That said, is there a Tom Ford option that would be appropriate for the office/ work place?

[@ireliaadancarinadaslaminas1600]

Oud Wood itself is a great choice for the office, but there are more options, like Fougere D'Argent, Grey Vetiver and Beau de Jour

[@ireliaadancarinadaslaminas1600]

Actually, the newest formulations of tuscan leather, ombre leather, oud wood doesn't have a great projection but has a classy scent, so you could use them in the office

Oud wood is REALLY not worth it in 2023. Got a 100ml bottle 3 days ago and the scent fades away for me after 30 minutes (It’s real) It becomes a very close skin scent only after that period of time. Its so unfortunate, cause this scent got me into fragrances when I first smelled it. Regret purchasing it for the current price.

[@ChildofGodforevr]

Because Tom Ford reformulate everything . You have to buy older Tom Ford bottles . Nothing after 2020. Because of Covid, perfumers panicked because ppl weren’t buying as much perfume because ppl were saving their money not knowing what the future held so all the big brands severely reformulated their perfume lines . A lot of ppl don’t know this. And many ppl think they’ve bought fakes coz the fragrance is so weak. I bought my perfume direct from the brand website and it’s disgustingly weak. I had to return perfumes back to TF and MFK due to extreme weakness.

[@angstfree2008]

Totally agree. Ombré leather lasts all day.

The perfume is terribly expensive for very poor performance. Honestly, I recommend Ombre Leather, because it's ultra beast mode compared to OUD WOOD.

[@rshyd_7762]

I feel bad for you because when ever i used it, it gives me at least 6 hours longevity, I’m confused what else could affect the performance other than the reformulation

Just tried ebene fume and i have a similar analysis... Honestly, havent tried your alternative recomendations but i will say it does remind me of a less interesting Laudano Nero: that one has a great boozy note that just makes the profile that much richer and more complex. The thing is, you can get it for pretty much half the price and it is an extrait lol Also thought the comparison between noir de noir and black orchid is warranted, i thought the same... They arent similar smells per se, just similar in terms of "proposal" so to speak. I would also add that atelier cologne cafe tuberosa might even be better than noir de noir if you dont mind the... Well... Tuberosa!

[@ssijpauke]

I do agree that Ebene Fume is quite simplistic and way too expensive for what it is but as a scent for me it hits the spot. I don't know the other one but Oud Malaki is definitely not a good alternative as it's mostly sweet and spicy so not really what you're looking for if you like Ebene Fume.

Yeahh, I am also not a fan of TF anymore. Their quality level have decreased dramatically. Creations that I choose are Fougere D'argent I have (2022 batch), Noir de Noir and maybe also FF. I have recently written a first impression review regarding Myrrhe Mystère on Fragrantica. It seems to be very flat, without richness and complexities. Warm, dry, very much 'cedarwoody' based formula to my nose with a nice Incense accord. I do not think, it is worth the price at all. Really disappointing. The sweetness is minimal. It owns a velvety Iso E Super or Timbersilk texture, maybe Ambergris raw materials like Cedramber, Polysantol, Leather raw materials (Suederal LT, Cedrol). It owns a leathery quality to my nose as well. But it's very flat and the price tag seems to be horribly unfair. I don't think Sam's opinion is different haha. Well, I think, that Bitter Peach is one of their better created gourmand perfumes, if I am honest, but every nose is different. Overpriced for sure. I hated Cherry Smoke. What an artificial horror show. xD Mandarino di Amalfi is beautifully made, Noir de Noir too.
