Tom Ford - Vanille Fatale

Vanille Fatale by Tom Ford is an oriental-vanilla fragrance for women and men, released in 2017. Created by Yann Vasnier, the composition presents vanilla in a dark, sensual, and luxurious interpretation. It is rich, intense, and multidimensional, blending spices, gourmand notes, and noble woods into a seductive scent.

The opening is bold and expressive, where rum, myrrh, olibanum, and saffron create a warm resinous-spicy accord, brightened by orange and lime. The heart reveals coffee, plum, and barley, adding depth and a slightly liqueur-like gourmand richness, enhanced by floral touches of plumeria, narcissus, and rose. The base is addictive and opulent, with Madagascar vanilla intertwined with suede, tobacco, mahogany, patchouli, oakmoss, and violet, creating a creamy, woody, and sensual finish with remarkable longevity.
