I actually thought that too! Working on it! Haha

[@MistaBawlz3000]

Absolutely amazing presentation of my favorite fragrance house, Tom Ford/Private Blend collection. The F'ougere has reeeeaaallly piqued my interest, and i think i'll be paying the Nordstrom's Tom Ford counter in Jax, Fla a visit reeeeaaaal soon. No matter the variable perfumers that i have displayed in my colllection, from designer to niche, Tom Ford has always been and remains to be the imprint and archetype of luxurious, wearable, impressionable fragrances. Thank you for such a qualuty representation within this presentation. Maintain it, kind sir. I'll be watching. #Solid

I met Francesco today at Covent Gardens TF and it was my first time testing Tom Ford Fragrances. He spent nearly an hour with me showing me all of the different fragrances and letting me test them all before I made my first purchase. Such a great guy. I had no intention of purchasing anything when I walked in but after meeting him I left with Tobacco Vannille and Black Orchid Parfum. Francesco is a gem and I’m so happy to see him in this video.

The way he sprays the scent strips... To say it is classy, would be an understatement.

[@gavingynert2455]

@@ghadasaid9857 Yeah that's pretty much plain stupid. But if you've got money to waste, just do it the same "classy" way

[@jura_rose]

You should spray from a distance in shops when you are trying different scents on strips, then let it settle for a minute. Reason being is that way most of the alcohol evaporates from the strip and the oils come through better. Spraying close and then putting it straight to your nose will burn your nostrils with alcohol and numb your sense of smell.

@@goldenlabra i think their private blend is in the niche category and the rest are designers

@@goldenlabra I feel Private Blend straddles Niche and Designer. Technically Private Blend's are designer but the quality, scent profiles and pricing aligns more with Niche. Perhaps we need a new category for these and the likes of Dior, Chanel and Armani's higher priced private collections.

Robin, I happened upon your channel by chance and was glad that I did. I've learned a lot so far and especially how Tom Ford arranges his Private Blend Line fragrances compared to others in the way of not having the traditional top, middle, and base notes. I just purchased Tom Ford Noir de Noir Extreme and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille in body sprays. The regular eau de parfum I shall put on my Christmas list and maybe Santa will think highly of me and deliver those to my house for being a good boy this year! You have earned a new subscriber sir.

Forget the products, Tom Ford is a masterful salesman and marketeer and if this video is anything to go by Francesco is a perfect extension of this, he has such great knowledge and passion for the products, it really comes across. Great video! For me Tom Ford's fragrances are a little hit and miss and tend to be provocative rather than enjoyable (must be my more subtle/boring taste). My faves are Oud Wood (owned this a while, I still absolutely love it and you are right Robin, it is one of the one private blends that is versatile), Mandarino Di Amalfi and Soleil Blanc. Tuscan leather is also a masterpiece however the clone La Yuqawam is better for me,. I need to get down to this store!

Tobacco Vanille is a personal favourite of mine, it is so rich and soothing - I feel it works super well within my skincare routine, as the fragrance doesn't clash with the cocoa butter/coconut oil I use to moisturise myself with after a wash. I'm unsure what other fragrance I would like to go with, I feel like I want something a bit more floral/oriental for the summer months - as tobacco vanille feels more like a winter fragrance to me.
