Tom’s new direction

Although vanilla might usually be associated with cheaper ice-creamlike scents, Tom Ford has luxe-ed it up with his new Vanille Fatale fragrance. It tempers the sweet Madagascan ingredient with bitter notes of roasted barley and coffee, woody mahogany, as well saffron, suede, coriander and myrrh. Yum.
