Vanilla Sex

Tom Ford Vanilla Sex is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. The fragrance settles into a heart of Vanilla, Orris, Jasmine, and Sandalwood.

Our verdict on Vanilla Sex: Statement

Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex is ridiculously divisive - a love-it-or-hate-it scent that some find heavenly and others, frankly, disgusting. It's a bold, animalic vanilla that absolutely demands a full wear-test before you splash out.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date

With its strong sillage, animalic facets, and often polarising nature, this isn't one for the office or casual settings where subtlety is preferred. It's clearly designed for intimate, sensual encounters, making it an ideal choice for a date, though perhaps too much for a formal event.

About

This is vanilla with an attitude problem. It kicks off with a potent blast of vanilla, quickly joined by a powdery orris that softens the edges, but don't get too comfortable. Beneath the sweetness, an earthy animalic accord stirs, mingling with the creamy sandalwood and a touch of jasmine, creating a complex, rather 'adult' vanilla experience that certainly lives up to its name.
