In the sumptuous and comforting Tobacco Vanilla, one of Tom Ford's Private Blends, a gourmand, marzipan-like fruit chewiness greets you at the gate — the combination of the scent's multi-faceted cinnamon-vanilla-like tonka note combined with vanilla, cocoa, and dried fruit. But as they hit you, they're joined by mellow, even aged tobacco notes that add a dry elegance and club room gravitas to its subtle sweetness. Just as soon as you almost feel like you can sink your teeth into it, it sinks its teeth into you, and you're a goner. Tobacco Vanilla is some heady stuff. Perfect for the gourmand perfume lover who wants a bit of an edge.
