About Tom Ford Vanille Fatale EDP
Vanille Fatale EDP is made by Tom Ford. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Its style
The strongest accord is vanilla (100%), followed by gourmand and warm spicy. You will probably like it if you enjoy vanilla and gourmand smells and notes like barley and Madagascar vanilla. Less obvious notes include incense, plum and tobacco. Perfume fans rate it 4.24 out of 5.
Vanille Fatale: day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Jil Sander #4 is a lighter match.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is strong. People around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. The Spirit Of Dubai Turath lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like Madagascar vanilla and suede are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Best season for Vanille Fatale
It is at its best in winter. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
