I received the Tom Ford Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum for free from Influenster and Tom Ford in return for my honest review. The bottle for this is modern and classy in appearance. It's luxurious and makes the perfect addition to my vanity. Inside the classy and elegant bottle there is an opaque milky substance that is the actual fragrance. It sprays out just a tad thicker than most other scents and the bottle is stunning with accents of the shade gold. When I was younger, I used a few different generic vanilla body sprays. However, I can say that I quickly became bored with them, but my love for the scent of vanilla was still there. I have always loved vanilla creams and sweet vanilla candles.

However, I can say that I quickly became bored with them, but my love for the scent of vanilla was still there. I have always loved vanilla creams and sweet vanilla candles. Tom Ford has given me a whole new perspective on a sweet vanilla scent. My love for vanilla is back and better than ever. This new vanilla scent is rich, creamy, sultry, and sensual. It's categorized in the warm and spicy fragrance family. It's a mature scent and could definitely bring someone's sexy side out. I fell in love with it quickly after a few sprays. The top note of almond smells strong and beautiful, but not overwhelming. However, once the fragrance dries down and the almond settles out the scent twists into a classy, gratifying blend of rich, warm, and cozy vanilla. It also has an earthy scent of sandalwood which I also liked. I have tried it multiple times and it has lasted for around eight hours before it started to wear off and it lingered even longer on my clothing. I received multiple compliments of how good I smelled and people asking me what fragrance I was wearing. This scent is sexy, mysterious, and made me feel luxurious. I do believe that this scent could be unisex and layerable with other perfumes or colognes. In my opinion this scent is best used in the colder and cozy months of the year. It's another extraordinary fragrance from Tom Ford. The price point is slightly high at $395.00 for a 50 ml bottle of this fragrance. I absolutely love the Tom Ford Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum and I think others would agree. I will be saving up for another bottle because that's how much I enjoyed this fragrance. I would definitely recommend the Tom Ford Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum to others. It's a MUST try!

Ok let me preface this review as I would give this one a solid 3 for me. Why you may ask? Simple, I generally am very picky on both sweet forward frags and also vanilla scents. Also no beating around the bush, this is a very expensivo perfume. So I think you should try this before you blind buy. But I think any of the niche line Tom ford should probably be tried before a blind buy. Now with that said, I think this smells very good. I really think this is getting way too much hate. This is a vanilla bomb. The vanilla is the start of the show, with different notes of vanilla coming from the mid and base notes. The top notes is a nice touch of bitter almonds with which pairs well with the sweet and almost boozy flavors of the vanilla. Almost like really good bourbon ... MoreOk let me preface this review as I would give this one a solid 3 for me. Why you may ask?

I think it’s a true unisex scent. Funny enough I have had one person say it’s too manly and another say it is too feminine. Both were two separate females who said those remarks. I think this is a good performing scent, very good longevity and decent sillage. Really like the color of the juice, and makes it look even more beautiful and appealing looking at the bottle and presentation. I have to give this one at least a 4 as this is probably the best vanilla flavor I have smelled. It is not super my cup of tea nor is the price something you are getting for a good bang for your buck. But just like most of Tom Ford niche line, you are getting somewhat natural excellent quality scents which are definitely unique and should be respected. If you love the notes of this scent I think you would like it very much. In case you have not read the reviews, a lot of hate on this one. I definitely think it is unwarranted, but again more of a reason to try in store or buy a sample/ decant before buying a new bottle. Haters going to hate, but I give this a thumbs up on smelling dang good.

I never thought I would hop on the vanilla perfume train, but boy this product will really get you. It’s absolutely amazing! I’ve been wearing this every day since I received it and I don’t know if I can wear anything other than vanilla perfume now! The packaging it arrived in was luxurious and really held up to the Tom Ford name. The box itself feels like a soft leather and then the bottle is a smooth glass. I’m very impressed with the packaging! You can tell they put as much thought into the presentation as the scent. The scent itself is a sweet, warm vanilla that really wraps around you without being too overwhelming. You only need to spray a tiny amount of it onto your wrist, tap your wrists together and then tap them behind your ears.

If you do use a little more, the scent will cling to you into the next day and your clothes which is fine with me because it smells amazing! It is a very warm, inviting scent and I’ve gotten a lot more attention and compliments while wearing this. I think the long lasting wear, the packaging, and sultry scent make the perfume absolutely worth the price. It is obvious the company put a lot of thought and care into creating this perfume. I highly recommend!

Disclaimer: Received a sample from Influenster for my honest review. I'm given the privilege of trying out Tom Ford's latest addition to his Private Blend collection. A delicious gourmand that has many connoisseurs craving a taste of. The brand isnt novice at creating a fragrance with a dominant Vanilla note. They know it's a crowd pleaser, but how did they do? A soft, creamy, semi-sweet gourmand is revealed as soon as I release its first sprays. Very edible, very safe, and very Vanilla. As it dries down the almond note emerges and the overall scent becomes more intimate. In contrast with its given name this is not a provocative scent.

Many will agree upon the fact that this scent profile is totally unisex. Especially, for men that enjoy wearing sweet, dominant vanilla notes such as myself. Performance seems moderate for the most part. The projection is up close and romantic not in your face, beast mode fragrance. You will enjoy about 4-6 hours of longevity. This fragrance could be versatile year round, but it shines during cool/cold days. With a little bit of manceration I'm optimistic that performance and scent profile might improve. The one thing I will criticize is the asking price, the retail price of $395 for a 50ml bottle. I find Tom ford fragrances worth wearing, other shoppers might not. Due to its steep price and vast selection of vanilla scents out there. In closing, I believe every person should own a vanilla forward fragrance for special occasions such as this one. As the market is hot for Vanilla perfumery, Vanilla Sex will satiate those sweet cravings.
I have an extensive scent collection and adding the new Tom Ford Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum was a wonderful addition. I tend to lean towards both floral and bright scents as well as earthy and musk and this scent fit right in. It’s sensual, warm and sophisticated, perfect for the fall/winter season. The first prominent note is a warm almost bourbon vanilla and then the bitter almond and musky sandalwood comes through. The scent is smoky and glamorous. This is not your average vanilla sweet scent, it is deep, spicy, elegant and much more complex and elevated. The sandalwood essence along with the vanilla absolute really emphasizes that nutty sultriness. It’s well rounded and there’s a mysterious floral bitterness along with a sweet almost marzipan like scent that ... MoreI have an extensive scent collection and adding the new Tom Ford Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum was a wonderful addition.

It’s well rounded and there’s a mysterious floral bitterness along with a sweet almost marzipan like scent that comes in right at the end. I loved the way it dried down and meshed with my body chemistry, the musk really came through after it settled into my skin. This perfume isn’t for everyone, just like its name, it is provocative, bold, and compelling. But even if you’re hesitant I would still give this a try. I personally love it, its scent unfurls the longer you wear it and is an experience in itself. It’s neither feminine nor masculine but a perfect blend of the two embracing the lightness of the vanilla and spice of the sandalwood. The scent throw is decent and head turning and the lasting power is strong in the first few hours and then lingers to a light skin scent after 4-5 hours. Just like the scent, the bottle itself is elegant and modern. It looks so beautiful on my countertop and is a stand out amongst my perfume collection. Tom Ford Vanilla Sex is a deep, sultry, smoky and warm scent that will have you smelling as glorious and as sophisticated as you already are.
This scent is undoubtedly vanilla, but with a dash of sophistication. When I first sprayed the perfume I had to wait for the initial aroma of alcohol to dissipate, which didn’t take long. Shortly to follow was a sweet scent of vanilla but after it dried down it turned into a creamy vanilla scent. The final and most faint hint of sandalwood is barely present at the end. I am not a fan of sandalwood so having its faint presence at the end pleased me. The scent lasts all day long however I titled this post appropriately because the scent is not for the enjoyment of people in your presence. This scent is truly for your nose only. Even an hour after spraying the product I have to put my nose against my skin or clothing to get a whiff of the scent because it does not ... MoreThis scent is undoubtedly vanilla, but with a dash of sophistication.

If you’re used to walking into a room and making people stop in their tracks while they inhale the essence of your scent, you will be disappointed with this fragrance. The scent requires an up close and personal sniff if anyone else is to experience the fragrance. On a positive note many perfumes give me a headache but this one does not. I enjoy the scent I just wish it would carry beyond the surface of my skin. I would recommend this to someone who is sensitive to heavy fragrances and enjoys a sweet scent.

Just after spary this fragrance for a few minutes! It become very light smell and comfortable. I like that smell! Not too sweet! Love that smell! The scent smell awesome! It lasting all day long!
Provocative name aside, Vanilla Sex is a surprising scent - I was expecting a straightforward, creamy Tahitian vanilla, but was instead greeted by a dry, powdery blast of roasted almonds. The vanilla is there, but it's subtle and unsweet - it's desiccated and textured, entwined with tendrils of sandalwood. It undergirds the entire composition, giving it structure, but the almond dominates, especially in the opening. As it dries down, the intensity of the nuttiness fades and a touch of smokiness and spiciness arises to accentuate the leathery side of vanilla pods, but otherwise the scent retains its structure and character throughout its lifetime. It's rather strong at first, but tapers off relatively quickly - it projects well for a few hours, and becomes a skin ... MoreProvocative name aside, Vanilla Sex is a surprising scent - I was expecting a straightforward, creamy Tahitian vanilla, but was instead greeted by a dry, powdery blast of roasted almonds.

While the scent is unique in fine fragrance (if a little reminiscent of almond-scented soaps), I find that it doesn't wow me. The name also dispenses of any coyness and wordplay of his previous releases, à la Bitter Peach and Lost Cherry, and is very blunt, maybe to its detriment. Perhaps Vanilla Sex is an accurate name after all - it probably won't blow anyone's mind, but it's pleasant and anyone would enjoy having it from time to time.
This fragrance opens with a burst of almond extract. Whiffs of vanilla and cherry are front and center. Very quickly, the blend of notes combines to create a scent that smells exactly like root beer. It even has this effervescent quality that perfectly encapsulates this soda. For the rest of this fragrance’s lifespan, the scent does not shift further and root beer continues to be what emerges. The floral notes never make an appearance.The initial spray leans feminine due to the sweetness of the vanilla and cherry pairing, but as the sweetness mellows and it morphs into a steady root beer scent, it becomes more unisex.

Beyond the first spritz, the scent is consistent so you know what to expect no matter when it is applied. But don’t be fooled; it’s a powerhouse and its strong projection lasts over 12 hours on the skin. This will be an all year round, everyday fragrance for me.
This packing is stunning! It is sophisticated, classy and a gorgeous piece to display. I was excited to open it and wear it. It was sweet and spicy when first put on and I thought it was interesting, lots of almond flavor, but only a hint of vanilla initially. After a few moments the vanilla fragrance came in with a touch of spicy/musky undertone. Its a really nice fragrance, the vanilla notes were not your normal sweet vanilla. Its similar to a few vanilla fragrances on the market today that are much less in price. It also didn’t wear very long for me, after about 3-4 hours it became very faint and was only slightly fragrant where it was applied. Overall, this is a very nice fragrance but at a $395 price point, I’m not sure it is worth it, for me anyway. I am sure ... MoreThis packing is stunning!

It also didn’t wear very long for me, after about 3-4 hours it became very faint and was only slightly fragrant where it was applied. Overall, this is a very nice fragrance but at a $395 price point, I’m not sure it is worth it, for me anyway. It was only okay, I definitely wasn’t blown away.away.
