Vanille Fatale | Tom Ford

Vanille Fatale opens with rum, myrrh, olibanum, saffron, and coriander before a heart of roasted barley, coffee, plum, frangipani, and narcissus. The base settles into Madagascar vanilla, suede, tobacco, mahogany, and patchouli. Composed by Yann Vasnier and launched by Tom Ford in 2017 as part of the Private Blend collection, it's a dry, smoky, tobacco-tinged vanilla built for those who find typical gourmands too sweet.

Cleo's Take: “A deep, smoky vanilla that feels mysterious and luxurious—the kind of fragrance that belongs with leather jackets, falling leaves, and cool autumn nights.”
