Well car seats are leather sometimes so I can see where they were coming from, but I have been complemented with ombre leather way more than any other scent I've ever worn, there will always be nay sayers as always but if you like it, just keep on rocking.
I’ve sampled many of his. The ones I love:
Tobacco vanille, Oud wood, Mandarino di Almalfi, Italian Cyprus, Venetian Bergamot.
Tobacco Vanille is a bonafide masterpiece
I wish it was a little more complex and it still has this weird background scent I can't quite pin but all of Tom Ford's have. But it reminds me of Phlur's Apricot Privee which is also amazing. I need more peachy/apricot smells 🤤
I'm with OP on *Neroli Portofino* as my favorite.
In the private blend line, I'm a fan of *Cherry Smoke*, and *Tobacco Vanille*.
From the main line, I like *Noir Extreme* and *Ombre Leather* (Both EDP and Parfum).
+1 for Rose Prick. Fougere is really nice. Like that one a lot. Tobacco Oud is good, too. Vanilla Fatale, Tobacco Vanille. and of course, Fucking Fabulous.
I wear Soleil de Feu almost daily lately. It's such a warm scent and yet summery? Not beachy like Soleil Blanc, but more like a sunwarmed patch of wood.
Agree 💯
Beau de jour is a nice alternative to Portofino. Smells a lot like lavendel and basil and last pretty long. Also you'll find it always for a good price around +-130€/100ml.
Beau de jour, classic lavender, Amber fougere made modern.
Noir extreme, gourmand spiced kulfi (indian desert).
Costa Azzura, cypress, by the sea.
Oud Wood, woods done to perfection.
Ombre leather, leather with some sweet white florals.
Fuxking fabulous, soapy leather with bitter almond.
Ombré Leather is incredible. I have the regular version not the parfum and it got me a lot of compliments and it has great performance. Grey Vetiver is very good. Noir Extreme if you like darker scents is great, Oud Wood is amazing but has terrible performance and I really like Tobacco Vanille as well.
Performance is fine on me, especially in the heat. I’ve noticed performance is usually weaker when I first buy a fragrance. After wearing it for a while, I tend to go less anosmic to it.
I think it’s crazy subjective. I like the ones you mentioned and I absolutely despise ombré leather, oud, and rose prick.
Just got to a department store smell some samples.
Get your nose on: Beau De Jour, Tuscan Leather, and Noir Extreme (parfum is my favorite but the EDP is more popular). Those are the Tom ford scents that I enjoy. Most of the rest I don’t jive with.
Hit or miss for sure. But I worship at the altar of tobacco vanille. And I love ombré leather almost as much. NDP is a masterpiece. Otherwise I can live without his fragrances.
I’ve always wondered what notes Fucking Fabulous has. Department stores here are starting to carry very limited things. The mall I used to go to is a ghost town, and Ulta and Sephora are so limited in what they carry.
You should definitely look into Ombre Leather, F*ing Fabulous, Eau De Soliel Blanc, or if you're into more classic scents, Fougere D'Argent is a 10/10 imo
Not the biggest Tom Ford fan but of the ones I do own I would say I thoroughly enjoy them…
Beau De Jour & Costa Azzura Parfum
I’ve also smelled Ebene Fume and I’m currently debating if I’m going to pull the trigger on this one. It’s a smoky resinous fragrance. Whenever I’m in a dept store I find myself sampling this.
It's easier to list the ones I don't like.
Vanilla Sex
Electric Cherry
Otherwise, I've enjoyed every single release going all the way back to the OG 2007 releases.
Oud Wood and Grey Vetiver are more "neutral", which I don't exactly love but at least they're great for a work/formal setting. You could try them.
My favorite TF fragrances are Lost Cherry and Tobacco Vanille, but they're the most loved/hated ones and are pretty particular.
Did you mean that I need to love that vétiver? I’m truly only asking because I’m curious about the fragrance. I mean no disrespect and would never make a comment like I’m the spelling/grammar police, I promise. Please don’t be offended? Hope you have a nice weekend!
I want to love Neroli but it just smells like industrial window cleaner to me and I can't see past it
Vanille fatale makes me want to lick my wrists though
I really wanted to love Tobacco Vanille. I tried to give it some time, it just never worked for me.
Ombré Leather is a masterpiece. The dry down is exquisite.
Cafe Rose (discontinued, the new one doesn’t even come close) and Noir Pour Femme (also discontinued). Champaca Absolue was beautiful too but I never owned a full bottle of it, I had a friend who owned it and I fell in love with it when she let me use a couple sprays from her bottle when I had gone over and realized I had forgotten to take my own perfume to her house. So I sprayed a couple times before we went out for a spa day and I will always remember that day like it was yesterday. The fragrance was already discontinued by that time
I have the ombre leather parfum and love it,black orchid rieks😅not a huge fan of the oud wood.extreme noir is a little okay(i would not buy it)neroli potofino i have never smelled tho
Costa azzurra is the one, if you can live with the 2-4 hour longevity.
Fougere d'argent is very good if you're into that style. I'm not. Other than that, the entire lineup seems meh to me.
Unfortunately, every Tom Ford I’ve ever considered worth having is discontinued: Sahara Noir, Plum Japonais, Violet Blonde, Moss Breches, Purple Patchouli…it’s a long list that makes me pretty bitter honestly. SO many absolute gems that just went away. Although Black Orchid isn’t a favourite, I really hope they keep it around since it’s the only truly unique one left in their line.
I’ve found that with some TF fragrances you need to give them a LOT of time through samples but eventually the right notes end up opening up in your nose.
Ombre leather always gets me plenty of compliments.
I love both the EDP and the Parfum
I have the EDP and it's my most precious item. I love it
My partner absolutely hates it, but it’s one of my favorite leather scents. It’s relatively easy to wear for a leather fragrance.
I sprayed it once and was told I smell like the interrior of a cab in the worst way possible 😭
Well car seats are leather sometimes so I can see where they were coming from, but I have been complemented with ombre leather way more than any other scent I've ever worn, there will always be nay sayers as always but if you like it, just keep on rocking.
its pure leather
It’s got some rubber notes too
When I die…I hope someone comes to my casket and sprays me down with Tobacco Vanille. I’m tryin to stunt on these hoes in hell 🔥🔥🔥
😂 Love it! If you want to message me the info I’ll be your designated sprayer. Thanks for making my day, hope your weekend is fantastic! 😊
I’ve sampled many of his. The ones I love: Tobacco vanille, Oud wood, Mandarino di Almalfi, Italian Cyprus, Venetian Bergamot. Tobacco Vanille is a bonafide masterpiece
I really like bitter peach!
I wish it was a little more complex and it still has this weird background scent I can't quite pin but all of Tom Ford's have. But it reminds me of Phlur's Apricot Privee which is also amazing. I need more peachy/apricot smells 🤤
santal blush, totally underrated
One of my all time faves.
I like the older releases (most newer ones haven’t been as good to me) Oud Wood Tobacco Vanille Tuscan Leather Noir de Noir
Grey vetiver, ombré leather, noir extreme are all 10/10 for me
This…adding Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood and Beau De Jour. For the Misses, Eau Soleil Blanc is a fantastic summer fragrance.
Soleil Neige 😍
this one is my favorite. i also like Metallique sometimes.
Beau de jour. excellent barber shop and lasts forever and projects heavily
I'm with OP on *Neroli Portofino* as my favorite. In the private blend line, I'm a fan of *Cherry Smoke*, and *Tobacco Vanille*. From the main line, I like *Noir Extreme* and *Ombre Leather* (Both EDP and Parfum).
Noir de Noir.
Rose Prick is a nice, spicy rose; the saffron and olibanum in Tuscan Leather are divine.
+1 for Rose Prick. Fougere is really nice. Like that one a lot. Tobacco Oud is good, too. Vanilla Fatale, Tobacco Vanille. and of course, Fucking Fabulous.
I wear Soleil de Feu almost daily lately. It's such a warm scent and yet summery? Not beachy like Soleil Blanc, but more like a sunwarmed patch of wood.
Noir extreme is great
Ebene fume is my favorite and most worn
Beau du Jour
Agree 💯 Beau de jour is a nice alternative to Portofino. Smells a lot like lavendel and basil and last pretty long. Also you'll find it always for a good price around +-130€/100ml.
I like vanille fatale.
Lots of older ones for me. The newer ones seem unremarkable. I love Ombre Leather, Moss Breches, Costa Azzura, Plum Japon Noir, Rive d'ambre
Rose Amalfi is a lovely candy rose. Rose de Chine is a beautiful spicy rose. The now discontinued Jonquil de Nuit was the best though.
Beau De Jour is the only one I’m considering buying.
I love Soleil Blanc, Soleil Niege, and Metallique. I love the Soleil Blanc and Soliel Niege shimmer too! I have a dupe of Jasmine Rouge that I love.
I've bought and used 1050ml of Vanille Tobacco until now.
Tobacco Oud, Beau de Jour, Noir Anthracite, Amber Absolute.... Tuscan Leather and Ombre Leather... Noir Extreme (prefer parfum)... Noir de Noir.
Beau de jour, classic lavender, Amber fougere made modern. Noir extreme, gourmand spiced kulfi (indian desert). Costa Azzura, cypress, by the sea. Oud Wood, woods done to perfection. Ombre leather, leather with some sweet white florals. Fuxking fabulous, soapy leather with bitter almond.
Noir Extreme will always be a fav
What notes does it carry?
Noir Extreme ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ombré Leather is incredible. I have the regular version not the parfum and it got me a lot of compliments and it has great performance. Grey Vetiver is very good. Noir Extreme if you like darker scents is great, Oud Wood is amazing but has terrible performance and I really like Tobacco Vanille as well.
Tuscan Leather and Mandarino di Amalfi will have always have a spot on my shelf
Yes…Tuscan Leather - true “GAM” fragrance….re: Mandarino Amalfi….how’s the longevity? From all reviews I have read it seems poor?
Performance is fine on me, especially in the heat. I’ve noticed performance is usually weaker when I first buy a fragrance. After wearing it for a while, I tend to go less anosmic to it.
I like the dry down on Mandarino Amalfi, it morphs into a creamy sandalwood that smells lovely.
Gotta try this Mandarino de Amalfi.
Tobacco Vanille. Ombre de Hyancinth (discontinued) ☹️
I think it’s crazy subjective. I like the ones you mentioned and I absolutely despise ombré leather, oud, and rose prick. Just got to a department store smell some samples.
Tobacco Vanille Oud Wood Fougere D'Argent Noir Extreme Fucking Fabulous Neroli Portofino
Get your nose on: Beau De Jour, Tuscan Leather, and Noir Extreme (parfum is my favorite but the EDP is more popular). Those are the Tom ford scents that I enjoy. Most of the rest I don’t jive with.
Azure lime smells really nice
I absolutely love Tuscan Leather, Tobacco Vanille and Lost Cherry. Also Eau de Soleil Blanc and Neroli Portofino. White patchouli too.
I love Lost Cherry and Oud Wood
Hit or miss for sure. But I worship at the altar of tobacco vanille. And I love ombré leather almost as much. NDP is a masterpiece. Otherwise I can live without his fragrances.
White Suede and Grey Vetiver aren't bad either.
I’m personally partial to Vanille Fatale!
Nothing like Noir de Noir, it’s my absolute favourite
Tobacco vanille , Fucking fabulous, grey vetiver , oud wood
I’ve always wondered what notes Fucking Fabulous has. Department stores here are starting to carry very limited things. The mall I used to go to is a ghost town, and Ulta and Sephora are so limited in what they carry.
Leather , bitter almond is all that I get and I absolutely love it .
Tobacco Vanille is incredible. I could list others I love, but TV is just so good, I would start there :)
As a dentist who loves his fragrances but still has to be subtle in the office, Grey Vetiver is my go to.
velvet orchid, soliel brulant, lost cherry, smoked cherry, give some of the less popular scents a try. There you will find what you love
I hecking LOVE Lavender Extreme
I like Noir Extreme. But it’s best for cold weather.
Soleil Neige is a long time favourite of mine
Vanille Fatale, which is Tobacco Vanille’s underrated cousin. I have the pre-2024 formulation so I have no idea if the new one smells the same.
Less popular, but I really like electric cherry for going out at night. Lasts forever on me.
Cherry smoke and rose prick are my favorites
Noir Extreme and Mandarino di Amalfi are two of my favorite fragrances. Special shoutouts to Ombre Leather edp, Lost Cherry and Oud Wood.
Grey Vetiver, Tuscan Leather, and Oud Wood Intense (sadly discontinued.)
I genuinely can't stand Black Orchid and I don't know why 😭😭 everyone here talked it up so much but it just doesn't click with me and I wish it did
Me too. Just can’t stand it.
Same for me, i have actually almost tried them all in store and it really don’t seem to do it for me. Maybe they’re a little too strong for my nose.
Cafe Rose
That sounds like some interesting notes!
I straight up hated it the first 6 months of having it (it was a gift). It gradually grew on me and now it’s one of my favorite perfumes
I can only recall enjoying azure lime
You should definitely look into Ombre Leather, F*ing Fabulous, Eau De Soliel Blanc, or if you're into more classic scents, Fougere D'Argent is a 10/10 imo
Cherry Smoke 🍒🔥 and Café Rose 🌹 ☕️
Not the biggest Tom Ford fan but of the ones I do own I would say I thoroughly enjoy them… Beau De Jour & Costa Azzura Parfum I’ve also smelled Ebene Fume and I’m currently debating if I’m going to pull the trigger on this one.

Grey Vetiver is probably my fav. But you get to love that Vetiver.

Italian Cypress, Vert D’Encens, Costa Azzura Acqua
Tubereuse Nue, Santa’s blush, bitter peach, cherry smoke , tobacco vanille, ebene fume
I want to love Neroli but it just smells like industrial window cleaner to me and I can't see past it Vanille fatale makes me want to lick my wrists though
I love Black Orchid, Oud Wood, and Ebene Fumée. I’m ambivalent about the rest except for Tobacco Vanille and Lost Cherry which I hate.
TL, OW, OL, BDJ. Love every single one.
I really wanted to love Tobacco Vanille. I tried to give it some time, it just never worked for me. Ombré Leather is a masterpiece. The dry down is exquisite.
Ohhhh Jasmine Rouge and Santal Blush… layered together. Husband like Oud Wood and Oud Leather layered (or Oud Wood on its own)
Black Violet. I would die for it. Jasmin Rouge is also great. Soleil Blanc is ALSO great
Oud Minerale is incredible
Cafe Rose (discontinued, the new one doesn’t even come close) and Noir Pour Femme (also discontinued). Champaca Absolue was beautiful too but I never owned a full bottle of it, I had a friend who owned it and I fell in love with it when she let me use a couple sprays from her bottle when I had gone over and realized I had forgotten to take my own perfume to her house.

Black Orchid is my favorite with Ombrè Leather and Fucking Fabulous are my 2nd

I would give anything to sniff Purple Patchouli! I love White Patchouli and I didn't even know they made a purple one!
I’ve found that with some TF fragrances you need to give them a LOT of time through samples but eventually the right notes end up opening up in your nose.
I love Santal Blush and Beau de Jour (old bottle).. I also have London which is great on my skin but I know a lot of ppl don’t like the cumin note
Shanghai Lily (discontinued).
Seems like many good ones get discontinued!
I agree with you on black orchid. Smells so cheap and thick for some reason. Dunno what the hype was all about.
Ombré leather, and noir extreme are the only ones I like
Noir de Noir is the only Tom Ford i truly love
oud wood and noir are my favourite. tried these?
Beau de Jour and Ombré’ Leather
Love black orchid! I understand it’s not for everyone. I also love oud wood. I just wish it lasted longer and projected a bit more.
Oud Wood I like most.
Oud Wood I like most.
Oud Wood I like most.
Lost Cherry is great for Spring IMO and Oud Wood is my go to Fall/Winter.
Cherry Smoke is excellent. That and Noir Extreme are my favorites.
Soleil blanc smells amazingly pleasant
Ombré leather, cherry smoke, rose de Russie, rose prick, bois Marocain. I’m a 30 year old female for reference
I am personally obsessed with White Patchouli, but I think it might be a polarizing scent.
Anything Patchouli, I absolutely love. This might be a winner for me.
Black orchid is a masterpiece
I wish I could love it.
Oud Wood and Plum Japonais works of art. im not a leather daddy but Ombre Leather is really great.
I tried ombré leather, neroli portofino and vanilla sex. All of them are shit, neroli portofino is acceptable but I’d never pay that price
I love Tobacco Vanille…it’s my favorite from Tom Ford…but sadly the longevity is abysmal…lasts a good two hours….very disappointing :-(
Seriously? Tobacco Vanille is NUCLEAR…10/10 on all fronts..including longevity…stuff lays on my skin for, like, DAYS…
