About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Vanille Fatale (2017) is Tom Ford's unisex Oriental Vanilla that opens with a boozy, resinous swirl: rum, myrrh, olibanum, saffron, coriander, orange, and lime. The top is sharp and aromatic, quickly giving way to a heart of barley, coffee, plum, frangipani, narcissus, artemisia, and rose—a dense, slightly bitter floral with roasted, fruity undertones. The base anchors with Madagascar vanilla, suede, tobacco, mahogany, patchouli, oakmoss, and violet, creating a warm, powdery, woody finish. Collectors who love deep, spicy vanillas with a vintage feel will appreciate its complexity; it suits those who want a statement scent for evening or cool weather. The vanilla is dominant (100% accord), but the supporting notes keep it from being cloying. This is not a simple gourmand—it's a textured, almost brooding composition that rewards patience. Ideal for unisex wear, especially for those who enjoy tobacco, suede, and resinous accords. A discontinued gem that has gained a cult following for its rich, multifaceted character.

中文簡介

Tom Ford Vanille Fatale(2017)係一款中性東方香草調香水。前調以蘭姆酒、沒藥、乳香、番紅花、芫荽、橙同青檸展開,酒香與樹脂感強烈;中調轉為大麥、咖啡、李子、雞蛋花、水仙、艾草同玫瑰,帶微苦花香與烘烤果香;基調由馬達加斯加香草、麂皮、煙草、紅木、廣藿香、橡苔同紫羅蘭組成,溫暖粉質木質收結。香草比例極高,但其他香材平衡得宜,唔會過甜。氣質深沉、帶復古感,適合秋冬季節或夜晚場合,鍾意煙草、麂皮同樹脂香嘅中性香愛好者會好啱。
