Tobacco Vanille, created by Tom Ford in 2007, opens on a honeyed, waxy tobacco, backed by warm, opulent spices. The heart and base bring together vanilla, tonka bean and dried fruits on the same gourmand, woody register.
Tobacco, honeyed and waxy, occupies the top alongside spices, warm and sensual: a rich texture on one side, an opulent warmth on the other, two ways of warming the opening.
Vanilla, sweet and spicy, tonka bean, toasted and caramelized, and dried fruits, tobacco and cocoa, share the heart and base. Vanilla, almond and leather recur from one note to another, weaving a common thread between the three.
