Tom Ford Urban Musk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Yann Vasnier. Urban Musk settles into a heart of Jasmine and Honey, and dries down to a base of Musk. Tom Ford's Urban Musk carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

Tom Ford's Urban Musk is fiercely divisive - you'll either love its raw, animalic funk or recoil in horror from its barnyard opening. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a deeply sensual, almost primal experience.

Best Occasions

Its intense opening and animalic nature make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear. However, its bold and sensual character, combined with its long-lasting and potentially strong sillage, makes it perfect for dates and formal evening events where you want to make a statement.

About

This one hits with an explosion of raw, almost feral musk, immediately setting a bold, unapologetic tone. It quickly softens, unfolding into a surprisingly sweet core where indolic jasmine mingles with rich, golden honey. The dry down is a warm, slightly powdery amber hum, keeping that musky, animalic undercurrent humming softly beneath. It’s a perfume that takes its time, transforming from something challenging into something utterly captivating.
