It's not hard to see why Tom Ford colognes are some of the best in the world. They offer a perfect blend of sophistication and masculinity that is hard to find elsewhere.
If you're looking for a new cologne for yourself or as a gift for someone else, look no further than these five options from Tom Ford.
Tom Ford's Black Orchid is a hidden gem when it comes to men's fragrances. The cologne offers a perfect blend of sophistication and masculinity that is hard to find elsewhere.
If you're looking for a new cologne for yourself or as a gift for someone else, look no further than this option from Tom Ford.
Black Orchid is the perfect scent for men who want something unique and different. It has all the best qualities of other colognes but with an added edge that makes it stand out from the rest.
Not only does Black Orchid smell great, but it also lasts long. You won't have to worry about reapplying every few hours as you might with some other colognes.
I'll be honest – this fragrance might be a bit too floral for guys who prefer traditionally ‘masculine' fragrances. Technically, Tom Ford's Black Orchid is actually a unisex fragrance so it can be worn by both men and women.
What this means is, unlike male fragrances, Tom Ford's Black Orchid won't make you smell like a old school man. If that's what you're going for then this might not be the best cologne for you.
However, if you're looking for something unique and different, Black Orchid is definitely worth checking out. It's perfect for making a statement and turning heads wherever you go.
Ultimately, Black Orchid is a great choice for any man who wants to make a statement without going too over the top. It's perfect for special occasions or date night – but I'd avoid wearing it at the office. In small spaces with lots of people, it can be quite overpowering.
Top Notes: Truffle, Gardenia, Blackcurrant, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Bergamot, Orange, Leomon
Heart Notes: Orchid, Spices, Gardenia, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Lotus
Base Notes: Chocolate, Patchouli, Vanille, Incense, Amber, Sandalwood, Vetiver, White Musk
Tobacco Vanille is one of those fragrances that you either love or hate.
Personally, I love it – it's warm, spicy and reminds me of Christmas morning.
So it's no surprise that Tobacco Vanille is strictly a cold weather fragrance. Wear this in the summer, and you just won't smell right. It's too warm, rich and spicy – plain and simple.
However, when those cold days come around, Tobacco Vanille is king. It's the perfect fragrance to curl up by the fire with. It's also great for date night or a night out on the town.
Just like Black Orchid, Tobacco Vanille is technically a unisex fragrance so it can be worn by both men and women.
However, I think this one leans more towards being a male fragrance. It just has a certain kind of mystery and masculine allure that most women's fragrances don't tend to have.
As with many Tom Ford fragrances, I'd avoid wearing this one to the office. As with Black Orchid, it can be quite overwhelming when worn in a work environment, and people won't appreciate it in the same way as they would when worn at a party or date.
Top Notes: Tobacco Leaf, Spice Notes
Heart Notes: Tonka Bean, Vanilla Pod, Cocoa bean, Tobacco Blossom
Base Notes: Dry Fruits, Woody Notes
Ever wanted to smell like a Hollywood cowboy?
Then Ombre Leather should be your go-to fragrance.
Leather fragrances are traditionally very masculine simply because of the associations society has with leather – tough guy, jacket wearing men who break hearts and ride motorcycles.
And while that's certainly attractive to women, Tom Ford's Ombre Leather is a different kind of leather fragrance. It's smooth, sophisticated and definitely more Hollywood than Harley Davidson.
By coupling leather notes alongside cardamom, jasmine and amber – Tom Ford has formulated a cologne that's both masculine and seductive all in one spray. In short, Ombre Leather makes you smell like a sophisticated gentleman in a leather jacket rather than an old leather coach.
This scent is perfect for date night or a night out on the town. It's also great for special occasions like weddings or anniversaries.
Top Notes: Cardamom
Heart Notes: Leather, Jasmine Sambac
Base Notes: Amber, Moss, Patchouli
On the complete opposite side of the scent spectrum, we have Mandarino di Amalfi – Tom Ford's answer to fresh, summer fragrances.
Sure, the majority of Tom Ford Fragrances are woody and dark scents that are most suited to colder evenings. However, when he does release a summer fragrance, you can bet your bottom dollar that it's going to be incredible.
Madarino di Amalfi is just that: incredible.
For those that don't know – Amalfi is actually a small coastal town in Italy. A place that' warm and fresh, where the smell of the ocean fills the street and tellers peddle locally grown fruit from wooden carts.
If that doesn't tell you what Tom Ford's Mandarino Di Amalfi smells like then I don't know what will!
The fragrance opens strong with citrus and develops into a spicy floral dry down. It's the perfect cologne for a summer vacation to the beach, or a classy dinner date on a hot summer's eve.
Top Notes: Lemon, Grapefruit, Mint, Basil, Tarragon, Blackcurrant
Heart Notes: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Clary Sage, Shiso, Coriander, Black Pepper
Base Notes: Musk, Vetiver, Civet, Labdanum, Amber
Everyone's heard of Tom Ford's Oud Wood – and for good reason.
It's an incredibly masculine scent that's perfect for any man that wants to exude confidence, sophistication and an air of mystery.
Oud Wood is a unisex fragrance, but I think it definitely leans more towards being a male cologne. It's the kind of scent that makes you feel like you can take on the world – and women will certainly be drawn to that.
For those not in the know, Oud is a type of wood that comes from agar trees. It's considered quite a rare fragrance note and isn't easy to come by, which is why it's typically featured in higher-end, niche fragrances.
Tom Ford's Oud Wood takes the smoky quality of Oud and combines it with a range of other scents including cardamom, sandalwood, vanilla and amber to create a truly masculine fragrance.
It's the perfect cologne for a night out on the town or a special occasion like a wedding. Just be warned: a little goes a long way with this one!
Of the many fragrances in Tom Ford's Private Blends collection, I'd say this is one of the more office friendly options. While it certainly isn't as universally pleasing as many designer colognes on the market, this niche scent won't take over a room and make people's noses hurt.
Sure, your colleagues will definitely notice you wearing it, but not to the extent that it's offending them while they work at their desks.
If you're looking for a new cologne for yourself or as a gift for someone else, look no further than these five options from Tom Ford.
