Vanilla Sex by Tom Ford leads with bitter almond, sharp against the sweetness that follows. Vanilla and soft florals fill the heart, before a dense vanilla base takes over, backed by tonka bean and sandalwood. It reads warm and a little nutty rather than simply sugary. Launched in 2023, women wear it most, and it suits anyone who wants vanilla pushed into something woodier and fuller. Cold-weather voters keep it close, worn through the evening and into night, and it is rich enough for a late work event. The longevity vote leans moderate. Sillage draws a clearer moderate vote as well. A 3ml decant is enough to test it across a week of cold nights.
