Tom Ford Vanille Fatale Decant (Sample)
$16.89

Rum and Myrrh over a madagascar vanilla base.

Rum and Madagascar Vanilla for year-round wear.

The Scent

Tom Ford Vanille Fatale Decant (Sample) opens bold and smoky, leading with Rum, Myrrh and Olibanum for its first impression on the skin. It softens into a heart of Barley, Coffee and Plum, the character that carries it through the middle hours. It rests on a base of Madagascar Vanilla, Suede and Tobacco, the lingering trail it leaves behind.
