The Social Network for Fragrance Lovers

When I grew up, everyone smoked everywhere. Church was the only place, where you could go and find a smoke free environment. Looking back at it, it was absurd. But that was, how it was. I myself started smoking at an early age. Luckily, I was able to get rid of my lethal habit, when I was in my early 30s. When I succeeded,it felt like a huge victory for me. Had anyone asked me then, if I would say positive things about tobacco in the future, I would have laughed. That was before I met Tobacco Vanille or some of the other beautiful, delicate tobacco note based fragrances. Recently, I have increased my Tom Ford collection with three scents. For some years I have had Violent Blonde and Black Orchid, two really interesting and well composed fragrances. Lately, their relatives Noir pour Femme, Lost Cherry and Tobacco Vanille have joined them. Purchases I do not regret the least. All have an aura of ‘quality’ around them. I am not saying that I will like all Tom Fords - I just yet have to meet one I do not like. Tobacco Vanille is a fragrance, that I love to wear. It is unique and alluring. Even though it is fairly new in my collection, I have already worn it several times - and I have a good bunch to choose from, so it is rather special. By alluring I mean, that I experience that people tend to notice it, but obviously they are not sure whether it is a perfume or something else their noses are picking up. Some ask. Some just stand very close and look puzzled. That is so fun! I wear TF TV when I want to keep my cool; comforting, sweet and totally low key, this fragrance supports me and I love to wear it. The next morning I can still smell it. I even wear it at the gym, which I suppose a lot of people will not understand. But it works great for me. I have three good gym scents but lately TF TV has been the one I reach for. I love the square Tom Ford bottle design that is used for many of the TF fragrances. It looks like something from an old apothecary. Recognizable but not pretentious. Maybe Tobacco Vanille is the best Tom Ford ever… TV will definitely be a new classic, and I shall make sure that I always have this in my collection.

I bought this at a time in my life where I ended up being a stay at home mom! I had just had my beautiful daughter and had a lot of time on my hands so I went fragrance shopping. The SA at Nordstroms told me to smell this…..WOW! I couldn’t believe for a designer fragrance I was so intrigued. It came off very niche smelling and very unisex on my skin I was in LOVE. the longevity was phenomenal almost over 8 hours. This was a special fragrance in my eyes. The leather note came out super strong on me, making me fall in love even harder. I just started to get involved into niche scents and this was by far the closest to niche I could find in the designer world. As for silage it’s there for 4 strong hours but after that turns close to skin. Highly recommended for that unusual designer find! I still wear it today especially in the evening when I go out with my husband for a date night….reminds me of Marlena Dietrich, she was a controversial actress and singer during 20’s and 30’s. Shad this very raspy voice which made her very sexy! This is her fragrance!!!

The most gorgeous deep dark vanilla. Bring her back please

A fruity vanilla fragrance that feels perfect for spring. The opening bursts with juicy passion fruit touched with citrus, giving it a very sunny, holiday like vibe. From the very first moments it reminds me of a Pornstar Martini enjoyed on a terrace by the beach on a warm evening. After a while, plumeria joins the composition, adding a creamy, slightly exotic softness, together with a sweet, custardy vanilla note. The vanilla beautifully balances the fruity freshness, making the scent more comforting, a bit like a passion fruit pudding with vanilla cream. As the fragrance develops, subtle slightly resinous nuances appear here and there, giving it a bit more depth and preventing it from becoming overly sugary. On my skin it lasts around five hours, with projection strong enough that a few colleagues have already popped into my office today to ask what smells so lovely.
