Review: Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous

Almond is a strong component.  There is also some spiciness to it.  I think this would be a good scent for a younger man.

It’s unique, I can’t think of anything else where almond is so prominent.  I read a lot of very good reviews about this cologne so I feel like I may have been expecting too much.

After a few hours the scent is much more mild and subtle which I think works well for it.  It’s not very strong though, so it’s not a very long lasting scent.

I do think it might be growing on me.

Review: Tom Ford Tobacco Oud

This has a deep rich smokey smell.  Very powerful, very masculine.  This is what I would imagine Harrison Ford or Clint Eastwood would smell like.  After a few hours it’s still going very strong.  This is one of my favorites by Tom Ford.

I’m usually not the biggest fan of oud but this really makes it worth.  It’s normally overly sweet smelling to me, but it’s more subtle in here, and the smokey scents mellow the sweetness out.

Review: Tom Ford Tuscan Leather

Tuscan Leather is rich, masculine, and one of my favorites from Tom Ford.  It’s also, very importantly, unique.  If you have a large collection of perfume/cologne, the challenge of finding something that doesn’t smell like something you already have becomes difficult.  This scent, even though I have other things that contain leather, really differentiates itself from the others.

It has a lot of floral notes, but they are just there to enhance and sweeten the powerful leather smell.

I think this scent would be great for a date, a dinner party, even at the office, indoors, outdoors.  It’s one of the most versatile scents.  It would be a great choice if you only own one cologne because it’s appropriate for so many occasions.

It’s very long lasting.  It will go strong for the whole day.  After waking up the next day I can actually still smell it, albeit much more faintly.

Review: The Noir 29 by Le labo

This has a pleasant grassy-earthy smell to it, some wood, perhaps a touch of oud.  It provides a nice masculine smell with a medium to light feel to it.  I think this would be good for a date.  There’s a seductive quality about it.

After a after a couple hours the wood notes  become more prominent, and keep becoming the main part of the scent the more the day goes on.  It lasts a long time, and in my opinion the smell becomes better as it goes on.
