I hope you’re enjoying the video! Before you comment asking why your favorite Tom Ford fragrance is not mentioned, here is your answer: I don’t own every Tom Ford fragrance ever created. 🤷🏾♂️ But my collection is constantly growing. Heck, I just got Noir Extreme Parfum after filming this video! Patience, young ones. 😌🙏🏾
I really enjoyed your video on your 14 favorite Tom Ford fragrances. I started my scent journey with Tom Ford fragrances and own 26 of his Private Blend fragrances , including all the ones you have, except for Tuscan Leather and Ombré Leather. I also own some of his very first scents which were Bois Rouge, Japon Noir, which were really great. Also Moss Breches was a good one too, among many others. I also own some of his regular line scents. I have not bought one perfume from Tom Ford for a long time not just due to my financial situation but also the ridiculous prices. I did enjoy your video Justin. BTW, I own Plum Japonaise and I am glad I still have that one and also Tobacco Oud. I also still have Oud Minerale, Noir, Black Orchid and Velvet Orchid, plus another long discontinued one, Violet Blonde.
@@maatkheru1042 I’m just curious where you’re getting this information like “I’ve never tried it” or “I don’t like it”. I never said any of that bro. 🤷🏾♂️ If you must know, I’ve talked about TV in past videos, and have shared that I enjoy it. I’ve actually tried to get a bottle several times over the years, but it’s been hard to find discounted. My wife even tried to surprise me with it for my birthday a couple years ago but didn’t realize she bought a counterfeit. And Tom Ford doesn’t give out free bottles-I bought all of them except for two, which were gifted to me by friends. All the accusations are completely unnecessary.
My top five favorites of Tom Ford in order: Tobacco Vanille, Oud Wood, Neroli Portofino, Ombre Leather, and Tobacco Oud. Excluding samples/travel sizes, I have 49 fragrances in my collection. My wife's two favorites in my collection are Ombre Leather and Oud Wood.
Justin’s opinions are constantly changing and quite frankly, I like it. With fall somewhat in effect, I’m starting to move away from my freshies (see you in 7 months Neroli Portofino, Bergamote 22, Moroccan Orange Blossom, etc.) and gravitating to my cool weather fragrances.
Hermes and TF are my only Perfumes on my Collection after 40 years. In my Opinion TF Top 5 are... 1) Tabacco Vannile ( Winter , Sweet, Sexy,) for Erotic Man 2) Baeu de jour ( Summer , Aromatic,Happy) for Classy happy man 3) Ebene Fume ( Winter Library , Church ) for Sophisticated man 4) Black Orchid ( Dark Iconic eatable ) unisex for Look at me 5) Soleil Eu de feu ( Dark Summer Elegance) unisex for Confident people
Hermes is so underrated but so good. People tend to get stuck on Terre d'Hermes, which is very nice, but there is so much more to the brand than just TdH. Definitely niche quality.
@@ruimarques_ I fully agree there are some that i dont like because its not my taste but there is no perfume from them that doesnt have quality. I love Givree Teere pure parfum Mediterranean jardin line alao amazing H24 very very different compared to most designers.
@@Tripokaridos22 H24 wins over all basic designers. I live Eau de Citron Noir for the hot weather, for example. But the whole brand is actually very good.
I was with you until Black Orchid… my wife wears it. It is lovely, but a real ‘dominate the dojo’ ladies frag for me. Oud Minerale is absolutely amazing, rough Atlantic coast, salty. A masterpiece. BdJ is so good as is Tobacco Oud :) Tobacco Oud intense was disappointing, sadly. Love the vid, thanks :)
My favorite Black Orchid is actually the EDT because I find it to be the easiest for men to wear. I’m talking about the original EDT, I haven’t tried the new one yet
I own the new one and i think its really wearable for men. Cant compare it to the old one sadly, but some people say, that they are kind of the same, but i cant confirm that. Very amazing fragrance alltogether, and the performance is nuclear!!!
awesome format, as usual! Thanks! Fougere D is a beauty! Sparkling, vibrant, classy, original! You should try Imperial from Boadicea as i find it to be an even superior and deeper version of it.
I really have to thank you Justin, because of you my collection got such High value just by listening to your tips. I’m collecting for over a year now and today arrived my fourth niche scent, Wulong cha by Nishane. Such a beautiful scent. I’m planing to get me a Tom ford scent now because of this video. Big luv from Germany ❤️
I feel that shouted me out when you talked about Ébène Fumé 🤭 but as i have told you that it was good that you gave it as a tip, because i often reach for it when im at home, i know im going to grab it nore and more when fall is rising. It is an amazing scent
Interesting to see your lineup. I had the same experience to ‘suddenly’ have a TF collection. You would not need Fougère d’Argent AND Fougère Platine AND Beau de Jour, but somehow the family wants to be together. 😂 The fear of missing out (by discontinuation) is adding to that aspect of collecting. However, recent releases with lacking imagination and creativity and ridiculous price points sets a date cap on my collection. With the exception of Ébène Fumé and Beau de Jour, post 2018 I have not seen head turners from the house…
Justin, I completely agree with you, not just Tom Ford (although that house is now the worst culprit of ridiculous prices), but also lots of other houses.
I absolutely love Ombre Leather, but I haven't tried any of the other Tom Ford fragrances yet. I don't get the most compliments from it, but I feel amazing every time I wear it.
Justin, I just got a decant sample of Ebene Fume, and you're so so correct, it's AMAZING. Also for some reason it could pass as an Amouage creation, as well as a Tom Ford.
Great list as always, my friend. I've been fortunate enough to smell a very good chunk of the ones you showcased as well as having a 60(?) of BdJ & a 10ml TF decant of Tobacco Oud. Noir De Noir will probably be my next from the house. Be safe & well, Justin 🙏
Absolutely right about Black Orchid EDP. I smelled it in Macy's and I smelled that little funk and I immediately knew this is not for me. But all the reviewers were hyping it up.
I was lucky enough to get into Tom Ford and collect the private blend early on here in UK, but unfortunately all my favourites are now discontinued, so i cherish my bottles... my top ranked: 1 Moss Breches 2, Amber Absolute 3, Tobacco oud intense 4, Ombre16 (richer than ombre signature) 5, Italian Cypress 6, Japon Noir 7, Sahara Noir 8, Vert d'encens 9, Patchouli absolu 10, Bois Rouge 11, TF for men Extreme 12, Plum Japon 13, Black Violet 14, Purple Patchouli 15, London
I have very high respect for TF, lots of my personal favorites are TF. While I currently have 3 only, I have smelled and worn many more. Based on taste my personal ranking from bottom to top is: F. Fabulous(the only one I actually hate) Black Orchid, Black Violet, Ombre Leather, Beau Du Jour, Costa Azura, Tuscan Leather, Fougere D'Argent, Ebene Fume and Bois Marocain. I have smelled tobacco vanille clone and loved it despite the heavy vanilla but I have to smell the real deal to rate it. I can't remember now if I ever smelled Plum Japonais, Oude Wood, Oud Mineral. I think I smelled Mandarino di Amalfi Aqua and that it struck me as too weak and not very special.
Tobacco Oud was the game changer that got me into fragrances! So different than the usual citrus fresh fragrances i usually get when i was younger. But wow…Tobacco Oud just opened my olfactory senses and it was over for me! Love it!
I really enjoy this series, it makes it effortless to revisit a fragrance you talked about and hear everything you think about it in detail. We nerds love details. I would suggest in your future videos to talk more about the seasons each fragrance would work best in, I am trying to learn more about that and rank fragrances based on your taste, not number of wearings. Numbers don't lie yes, but it ranks versatility more so than beauty.
I concur… I’ve recently became a lover of Tom Ford since I can semi afford it now. It’s funny how no one ever does a dupe video for Tom Ford. In my opinion, he is definitely one of a kind 😊
I know I’m basic cuz Ombré Leather was a love at first sniff…kinda… specifically at first wearing. I blind buy all my frags, so the second I sprayed it, the leather was all that I got and a bit too overwhelming. But I still gave it a full wearing. Some of my first thoughts were, “smells like a new leather jacket or couch, maybe I can use it as a car freshener or at least spray my shoe rack.” This only lasted for about 5 minutes when the leather settled and the fragrance kept getting better. The florals and fruits began to shine. It was so enjoyable when I kept getting small wafts of it throughout my workday. It’s kind of a masterpiece to me.
I've been out of the JC loop for a minute...sorry about that, buddy. Was happy to return to this review of one of my favorite houses. (I wish I could post a pic of my collection here - maybe I'll IG it to you!) I've become quite the TF fanboy. Anyway, I enjoyed seeing you rank yours and I saw what you said about TV below. TV was my very first foray into the serious fragrance world (as in expensive) and will always be my favorite TF - followed closely by PJ which I didn't think I liked at first, sold it, then re-visited it and now can't get enough of it! lol Hope you and Grace are well.
Interesting "worst" and "best" bro, i was so surprised when i see ombre leather ranked >10. Anw, great vid. I'm curious what will be TV & Noir Extreme Parfum rank on this vid.
Thanks for sharing your Tom Ford collection. Number 13 the bottle is beautiful. The blue is gorgeous also the little 30mil bottles are also cute. As always I love to hear you explaining the fragrances because you have a nice calming voice and demeanor.
I was recently in the Cosmetic Company Store and picked up a 50 ml bottle of Black Orchid EDP. I probably would have overlooked it if you hadn't been speaking about lately. Surprisingly, while my wife liked it on my skin, she didn't care for it on hers. I had previously tried Ombre Leather Parfum on my skin. When I first sprayed it I was reminded of opening a brand new box of Johnston and Murphy shoes. It was beautiful. Sadly, it started to give me a head ache a few hours later. It wasn't until the next morning that I could appreciate the beauty of how it dried down. Regardless, that headache told me it wasn't the right scent for me.
Gotta go light with the TF ombré leather Parfum. It’s potent but you’re right the dry down is beautiful. It has a cotton freshness dancing over the leather base.
Oud Minerale is the best. As a west coast surfer, it reminds me of that salty fresh scent you have after getting out of the ocean. Fresh, tangy, salty, lively and layered.
Great vid as always Justin. I go to the tom ford kiosk regularly when im at the big dept store in the city. So many to chose from... Rose de Russie was a fav... I could buy most of them and wouldn't be disappointed. Some are amazing but dont know if i could wear them and pull off the fragrance in any of my situations.. usually with the kids or racing around.. rarely in a suit
Ive not been in the game long, but a clone of Ombre Leather has sparked my interest. Amber and Leather is a scent i cant keep from spraying. Its strong hard leather with raspberry. On the skin the learher is on the harsh yet acceptable side. Projection and sillage is where it shines. That mildly sweet raspberry with the leather is ADDICTING. Im not even a raspberry fan, but its great in this scent. I need to get my nose on the real deal. Oud Wonder is also VERY good. It even has a light natural oud smell not the rubbery lataffa type oud like in Oud for Glory. Oud wonder is very nice and well worth my money.
Right now I’ve got Fougere D’Argent, Grey Vetiver, and Oud Minerale in my cabinet, and a sample of Beau De Jour. FDA was an immediate yes for me; a perfect fall and winter scent that’s really suitable anywhere year round. Can confirm positive responses to it on dates. Grey Vetiver EDP has been my workday scent for about a decade; I might have some fatigue from wearing it but it’s safe. I think it may very well go down as the Pour Monsieur or Eau Sauvage of for the 21st century. Now, oud minerale. Can’t make my mind up on this. It’s polarizing; it’s unlike anything I’ve smelled. I remember enjoying the 2017 from a tester and ordered the 2023 TF signature variant but all I get is a salty, smoky, burned rubber with a heavy dose of leather. It’s interesting to me but I can’t think of where or when it would be good to wear other than a harbor on a dark, cloudy day. The jury’s out on that for me but, as has happened before, I hope I’ll warm up to it and find inspiration and confidence to wear more.
Oud Minerale is back! Love Ebene Fume. Bought a 10ml because I heard it was similar to Myrrhe Mystere which is probably my favorite TF. Probably going to get a decanter one of these days. 💸 😅
Very intriguing lineup homeboy. Great job as always your videos never disappoint. I have to say I am a fan of the old-school private Berlin fragrances, especially that plum Japanese. I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing it when it was available.😢
Theres this guy that comes into my work. I asked him what hes wearing. He said tom ford but thats it!!! I dont know what it is but it smells like bright, floral and powder. I bought neroli and it isnt it!! Anyone know!?
Hello Justin, Outstanding work as usual! I only have TOM FORD NOIR AND OUD WOOD I LOVE THEM BOTH. I have a Clone Fragrance World EBONY FUME AND I LOVE IT. STAY SAFE BROTHER
What a greatvideo. I have a few of these, Oud Wood and Ombre Leather being my favourites. But can i ask you your opinion on these being less potent than they used to be ? I keep seeing people say they are essentially watered down now. What do you think?
Hey Justin, great video! When it comes to discontinued fragrances is there a place you look to buy them? Or a place where you can make an offer/ looking to buy post? I want to explore some discontinued TF scents but having a hard time finding them / finding them without getting fake fragrances.
Thanks for the insight! I will be persistent with my quest. I would love to try Amber Absolute one day but it is so hard to find, even then there is the price hurdle. One day, one day.
Handsome man. Fabulous voice. I pretty much only wear TF. I agree it’s way outside my (& everyone’s) budget. Pity. Tuscan Leather & Bitter Peach are my favorites. But, brother what am I missing? Tobacco Oud smells like a dirty dish rag. It’s on everyone’s list & it horrified me! But the interesting thing is BTW, Oud minerale is back as a signature. Haven’t smelled it but want to. I learned my lesson about blind buying TF fragrances when I bought Metallique. Yuck. Almost as bad as Black orchid. Noir de Noir is great too. If I had the $ I’d send u at least the 10cc atomizer but they don’t sell it anymore like that. Love the video though.
I don't care to smell like a cigarette, so the Tobacco fragrances are out. I wear White Suede, Noir De Noir, Oud Wood, Neroli Portofino, Mandarino Di Amalfi, F__king Fabulous. I am heading out this week to try some of those other fragrances you've Ranked. F__king Fabulous cost me 480 USD for a 50 ml bottle in Beijing's Tom Ford store. I can't afford to pay this kind of money for colognes, but I am absolutely addicted to Tom Ford!!!
Really enjoyed this - Plum Japonais is my #1 Tom Ford, Amber Absolute #2 but it gets a bit tricky after that 😂 just curious to know if you have tried the relaunch of Azure Lime and if so - what are your thoughts?
I just got a bottle of TF Tobacco Oud from Ebay, which is lablelled A42 batchcode, indicating it was produced in 2022. I heard it has been discontinued for quite a while so I’m still questioning whether I have purchased the authentic one or not.
I like Ebene Fume but I really think they reproduced Kerosene- Sacred Memory. I love Sacred memory and it lasts almost all day. Great cold weather fragrance.
I doubt that they specifically recreated an off the beaten path indie fragrance, it is a coincidence. It actually more closely resembles another Tom Ford fragrances called Bois Marocain, which came out in 2009 and was discontinued, but recently rereleased.
I'm glad you earn commission on the bottles JC. I'm going to break my no buy in a big way soon. I'm going to need multiple affiliate links from my ppl.
for me, Tobacco Oud smells and FEELS like the morning after an extravagant party, when you slept in your suit shirt that is just drenched in cigarette smoke and women's perfume. it kind of smells like awesome sex and is the only fragrance I have that truly makes me feel a certain way
Do you still track SOTD when traveling? If so, does that show you what you truly love with only having access to a select number? I’m finding those fragrances I decant and travel with end up being some of my favorites.
I do track when I travel, and I do agree that the scents you choose the travel with are typically your favorites. However, I will occasionally use traveling as a way to bring some decants of scents I hardly wear and want to get to know better.
To me Ombré leather smells exactly like when I first got my favorite pair of boots. And when I first got my favorite leather jacket. It smells like that brand new, fresh, black leather. I've never gotten a compliment on it. But I like it
Tobacco Oud Sounds amazing with whiskey in the notes. I have a Tobacco Vanille clone Tobacco Touch. Realistic tobacco with cinnamon are the main players, but Tobcco Oud sounds like my kind of scent. Thanks
Hey Justin ❤️ about Plum Japonais….. I KNOW you don’t do layering but I have a hypothetical. What would you add to that fragrance for someone who doesn’t care much for a spicy fragrance? Let’s say as a compromise by the wearer for the people in close quarters. Or possibly another similar plum dominant fragrance perhaps? Thanks in advance.
@@stayfreshproductions I may try that one day just to test the theory. I don’t mind spicy at all but I’ll happily experiment so that the option is there later. Thank you!!
Hi Justin, thank you for this video, very helpful indeed. Please i would like to know which among those EDPs last the longest on skin, and has the wider projection? If you can list them top to bottom it would be appreciated. Greetings from Morocco!
Ombre Leather is beatiful, I have it, same as Black Orchid( this one is my favorite, love both but Black Orchid is Black Orchid) I like to mix Ombre Leather with some flower perfume. I love Tuscan Leather , but only on men ..it is mainly man perfume. I get all compliments with Black Orchid original one, I only do not wear it in summer over 25-27C. My Mom have Oud Wood, beautiful one, great for mixing too. She is getting Ébène Fumé too. Tom Ford perfumes are artworks, that is all I have to say
Ombre Leather is a no-go for me! Personally, I prefer not to smell like leather unless I'm wearing a high-quality leather jacket, and at that point, you don't need a leather fragrance. 🤷🏾
I have to agree with Ombre Leather, It's ok, but not very impressive. I find it to have a strange green/bitter backbone during the dry down (Pine/woody like almost) Actually Montale's Aoud Leather is a better version for me (Although it's technically more of a tuscan leather "clone") It has the exact same leather note with a minty like fruity quality (It reminds me of watermelon Tridents)
Hi Justin, I just subscibed. Not because of your content, although that is excellent, too, having watched several videos, but because your speech is like a symphony to my ears. I am female, Dutch, and have a deep passion and love for perfume. As such I have been following several female vloggers and I have now reached the point where I just can't watch a video without getting irritated. These are 'native' speakers and their knowledge of the English language is just cringeworthy. I'm not saying you should be a professor in order to make videos for any social platform, but for someone who is not a native speaker it's alarming to notice their speech is riddled with grammatical mistakes. And the weird thing is I have heard a particular mistake in a video, and soon after I heard others making it as well. It's like they are parroting each other. And I can't help to think that they think it's cute. These are adult women and they just sound like teens. I have a background in several languages, namely French, English, German, Italian and obviously Dutch, so I am very sensitive to the correct use of language. Sorry for ranting. I just needed to get it out of my system. Anyway, great video. I personally love TF, and think of his private blend as well as his signature line as niche.
Guys do you think as a woman I could rock tobacco oud? I can get my hands on it for 190$ per 50mL. I use oud wood, tobacco vanille and can wear black orchid in the summer, but I cannot handle tuscan leather.
I know that you don't rate something you don't own/like. Hear me out. Theoretically and I know for sure you like this one, if you had Tobacco Vanille. What would you rate it on this list?
Really Good and Expensive Perfumes , i try some of them and i was very happy with them. BUT they are not easy for most people to understand the Quality and are not Mass appealing. Thats not good for some but bad for others.
I would only buy as much as I knew I would wear. If you’ve already tried the scent and you love it, then buy whatever size matches your affinity for the scent. If you haven’t tried it yet, I would get a decant first.
@@stayfreshproductions I have a lot of perfumes no like you I just love fragrances but I am still looking for something like a wao… people notice you … I have not find yet this …and I have really good perfumes like aventus, ombré leather, guisada ambassador, Chanel Blue, sport extreme, Dior savage, I want try Amoage and P of Marly … thanks so much for responding

I blind buy all my frags, so the second I sprayed it, the leather was all that I got and a bit too overwhelming. But I still gave it a full wearing. Some of my first thoughts were, “smells like a new leather jacket or couch, maybe I can use it as a car freshener or at least spray my shoe rack.” This only lasted for about 5 minutes when the leather settled and the fragrance kept getting better. The florals and fruits began to shine. It was so enjoyable when I kept getting small wafts of it throughout my workday. It’s kind of a masterpiece to me.
Exactly the same happened to me, I guess they got us in the first couple of minutes😅 Still my favourite to this day, though!
I've been out of the JC loop for a minute...sorry about that, buddy. Was happy to return to this review of one of my favorite houses. (I wish I could post a pic of my collection here - maybe I'll IG it to you!) I've become quite the TF fanboy. Anyway, I enjoyed seeing you rank yours and I saw what you said about TV below. TV was my very first foray into the serious fragrance world (as in expensive) and will always be my favorite TF - followed closely by PJ which I didn't think I liked at first, sold it, then re-visited it and now can't get enough of it! lol Hope you and Grace are well.
No problem man! Thanks for checking back in!
Interesting "worst" and "best" bro, i was so surprised when i see ombre leather ranked >10. Anw, great vid. I'm curious what will be TV & Noir Extreme Parfum rank on this vid.
Beau de Jour edp is my favorite. However, I also really love Venetian Bergamot (hoping for a signature collection option someday).
Honestly, Fougere D Argent is a masterpiece. My new love is Grey Vetiver Parfum. Stunning.
Thanks for sharing your Tom Ford collection. Number 13 the bottle is beautiful. The blue is gorgeous also the little 30mil bottles are also cute. As always I love to hear you explaining the fragrances because you have a nice calming voice and demeanor.
Thanks for watching!
I was recently in the Cosmetic Company Store and picked up a 50 ml bottle of Black Orchid EDP. I probably would have overlooked it if you hadn't been speaking about lately. Surprisingly, while my wife liked it on my skin, she didn't care for it on hers. I had previously tried Ombre Leather Parfum on my skin. When I first sprayed it I was reminded of opening a brand new box of Johnston and Murphy shoes. It was beautiful. Sadly, it started to give me a head ache a few hours later. It wasn't until the next morning that I could appreciate the beauty of how it dried down. Regardless, that headache told me it wasn't the right scent for me.
Gotta go light with the TF ombré leather Parfum. It’s potent but you’re right the dry down is beautiful. It has a cotton freshness dancing over the leather base.
@@thebizness5596 agreed. In this case it was just a spray on the back of my hand.
Cant believe tobacco oud is discontinued though, i thought it was one of the most popular ones, and its magnificent
Oud Minerale is the best. As a west coast surfer, it reminds me of that salty fresh scent you have after getting out of the ocean. Fresh, tangy, salty, lively and layered.
Love this one as well. Not a people pleaser but I don't care.
love this video. you explained your choices well. side note, any more custin jopeland videos planned? i love your skits and i miss them
Yes-one more skit is in the works. Thanks for watching!
I gave my black Orchid to my wife, smells amazing on her
Great vid as always Justin.
I go to the tom ford kiosk regularly when im at the big dept store in the city.
So many to chose from...
Rose de Russie was a fav... I could buy most of them and wouldn't be disappointed. Some are amazing but dont know if i could wear them and pull off the fragrance in any of my situations.. usually with the kids or racing around.. rarely in a suit
Thank you Andrew, I still need to try that one.
Ive not been in the game long, but a clone of Ombre Leather has sparked my interest. Amber and Leather is a scent i cant keep from spraying. Its strong hard leather with raspberry. On the skin the learher is on the harsh yet acceptable side. Projection and sillage is where it shines. That mildly sweet raspberry with the leather is ADDICTING. Im not even a raspberry fan, but its great in this scent. I need to get my nose on the real deal.
Oud Wonder is also VERY good. It even has a light natural oud smell not the rubbery lataffa type oud like in Oud for Glory. Oud wonder is very nice and well worth my money.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of this brand and have a blessed day
Right now I’ve got Fougere D’Argent, Grey Vetiver, and Oud Minerale in my cabinet, and a sample of Beau De Jour. FDA was an immediate yes for me; a perfect fall and winter scent that’s really suitable anywhere year round. Can confirm positive responses to it on dates. Grey Vetiver EDP has been my workday scent for about a decade; I might have some fatigue from wearing it but it’s safe. I think it may very well go down as the Pour Monsieur or Eau Sauvage of for the 21st century. Now, oud minerale. Can’t make my mind up on this. It’s polarizing; it’s unlike anything I’ve smelled. I remember enjoying the 2017 from a tester and ordered the 2023 TF signature variant but all I get is a salty, smoky, burned rubber with a heavy dose of leather. It’s interesting to me but I can’t think of where or when it would be good to wear other than a harbor on a dark, cloudy day. The jury’s out on that for me but, as has happened before, I hope I’ll warm up to it and find inspiration and confidence to wear more.
Oud Minerale is back! Love Ebene Fume. Bought a 10ml because I heard it was similar to Myrrhe Mystere which is probably my favorite TF. Probably going to get a decanter one of these days. 💸 😅
Very intriguing lineup homeboy. Great job as always your videos never disappoint. I have to say I am a fan of the old-school private Berlin fragrances, especially that plum Japanese. I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing it when it was available.😢
Yeah it’s a shame Plum Japonais was discontinued. Thank you bro!
Tobacco Oud isn't discontinued. Still available on the Tom Ford site, in the UK at least
Lucky for you guys
Theres this guy that comes into my work. I asked him what hes wearing. He said tom ford but thats it!!! I dont know what it is but it smells like bright, floral and powder. I bought neroli and it isnt it!! Anyone know!?
It could be something from the Soleil line, or Metallique, but I’m not sure!
I actually just got my nose on Vanilla Fantalle. Absolutely love it. Would love to see your opinion about it
I'll check it out
Hello Justin, Outstanding work as usual! I only have TOM FORD NOIR AND OUD WOOD I LOVE THEM BOTH. I have a Clone Fragrance World EBONY FUME AND I LOVE IT. STAY SAFE BROTHER
Thank you Greg!
What a greatvideo. I have a few of these, Oud Wood and Ombre Leather being my favourites. But can i ask you your opinion on these being less potent than they used to be
? I keep seeing people say they are essentially watered down now. What do you think?
Thank you. I haven’t noticed any watered down qualities!
Black orchid is such a strange one. Didn't like it at first but that stuff gets under your skin, it becomes addictive.
I concur! I’m a fan of the Black Orchid Parfum. (𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞)
Can you rock oud wood all year long or is it more appropriate for fall and winter?
I'd say any time outside of Summer
Hey Justin, great video! When it comes to discontinued fragrances is there a place you look to buy them? Or a place where you can make an offer/ looking to buy post? I want to explore some discontinued TF scents but having a hard time finding them / finding them without getting fake fragrances.
I still think the main discount sites like Fragrancenet and Fragrancebuy are the best places, when they have them.
Thanks for the insight! I will be persistent with my quest. I would love to try Amber Absolute one day but it is so hard to find, even then there is the price hurdle. One day, one day.
Handsome man. Fabulous voice. I pretty much only wear TF. I agree it’s way outside my (& everyone’s) budget. Pity. Tuscan Leather & Bitter Peach are my favorites. But, brother what am I missing? Tobacco Oud smells like a dirty dish rag. It’s on everyone’s list & it horrified me! But the interesting thing is BTW, Oud minerale is back as a signature. Haven’t smelled it but want to. I learned my lesson about blind buying TF fragrances when I bought Metallique. Yuck. Almost as bad as Black orchid. Noir de Noir is great too. If I had the $ I’d send u at least the 10cc atomizer but they don’t sell it anymore like that. Love the video though.
I don't care to smell like a cigarette, so the Tobacco fragrances are out. I wear White Suede, Noir De Noir, Oud Wood, Neroli Portofino, Mandarino Di Amalfi, F__king Fabulous. I am heading out this week to try some of those other fragrances you've Ranked. F__king Fabulous cost me 480 USD for a 50 ml bottle in Beijing's Tom Ford store. I can't afford to pay this kind of money for colognes, but I am absolutely addicted to Tom Ford!!!
Really enjoyed this - Plum Japonais is my #1 Tom Ford, Amber Absolute #2 but it gets a bit tricky after that 😂 just curious to know if you have tried the relaunch of Azure Lime and if so - what are your thoughts?
I need to try it!
I just got a bottle of TF Tobacco Oud from Ebay, which is lablelled A42 batchcode, indicating it was produced in 2022. I heard it has been discontinued for quite a while so I’m still questioning whether I have purchased the authentic one or not.
You might very well have. It’s not discontinued, just not sold on the US market (and others).
You’re good to go. I didn’t realize it is still being produced in Europe and the UK.
“Funky” for black orchid is very accurate I couldn’t articulated it that well
😆
Serge Luten’s Feminite De Bois is similar to Plum Japonaise. I love both of them. So unique
My top 5 Tom Ford is.
Tobacco Oud.
Oud Wood.
Tobacco Vanille.
Ébène Fumé.
Nior Extreme Parfum.
I like Ebene Fume but I really think they reproduced Kerosene- Sacred Memory. I love Sacred memory and it lasts almost all day. Great cold weather fragrance.
I doubt that they specifically recreated an off the beaten path indie fragrance, it is a coincidence. It actually more closely resembles another Tom Ford fragrances called Bois Marocain, which came out in 2009 and was discontinued, but recently rereleased.
I'm glad you earn commission on the bottles JC. I'm going to break my no buy in a big way soon. I'm going to need multiple affiliate links from my ppl.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bro, you should definitely do voice over if you're not on that path. Great review as well 🙌🏾
Thank you 🙏🏾
for me, Tobacco Oud smells and FEELS like the morning after an extravagant party, when you slept in your suit shirt that is just drenched in cigarette smoke and women's perfume. it kind of smells like awesome sex and is the only fragrance I have that truly makes me feel a certain way
Thank you for this content. I really like your voice. somehow it is relaxing. 😊
Thank you!
Do you still track SOTD when traveling? If so, does that show you what you truly love with only having access to a select number? I’m finding those fragrances I decant and travel with end up being some of my favorites.
I do track when I travel, and I do agree that the scents you choose the travel with are typically your favorites.
However, I will occasionally use traveling as a way to bring some decants of scents I hardly wear and want to get to know better.
To me Ombré leather smells exactly like when I first got my favorite pair of boots. And when I first got my favorite leather jacket. It smells like that brand new, fresh, black leather.
I've never gotten a compliment on it. But I like it
I’m glad you enjoy it 👌🏾
Tobacco Oud
Sounds amazing with whiskey in the notes. I have a Tobacco Vanille clone Tobacco Touch. Realistic tobacco with cinnamon are the main players, but Tobcco Oud sounds like my kind of scent. Thanks
Hey Justin ❤️ about Plum Japonais….. I KNOW you don’t do layering but I have a hypothetical. What would you add to that fragrance for someone who doesn’t care much for a spicy fragrance? Let’s say as a compromise by the wearer for the people in close quarters. Or possibly another similar plum dominant fragrance perhaps? Thanks in advance.
I’m not sure the spices can truly be masked! But in theory, I can see mixing it with something creamy and smooth perhaps helping
@@stayfreshproductions I may try that one day just to test the theory. I don’t mind spicy at all but I’ll happily experiment so that the option is there later. Thank you!!
I recon mixing with versace eros. I think itll be a sick combo@@ThePhoenixx2012
dude at work had Fume, it smelled like a dead animal, literally. I am curious how my updated nose feels about it now.
1. Green Irish Tweed
2. Noir de noir
3. Black orchid
4. Oud wood
5. Neroli port
Good stuff. Green Irish Tweed as your top Tom Ford?
@@stayfreshproductions Had to get your attention somehow 😂
Hi Justin, thank you for this video, very helpful indeed. Please i would like to know which among those EDPs last the longest on skin, and has the wider projection? If you can list them top to bottom it would be appreciated. Greetings from Morocco!
I can’t answer that because unfortunately performance is not a measurable guarantee! But thank you for watching
I’ll like every Tom Ford video you have!
My dentist adore my Noir EDP. ❤
I wear it every time i go there - it makes her day more smooth she said. 😂😂
Haha nice!
Ombre Leather is beatiful, I have it, same as Black Orchid( this one is my favorite, love both but Black Orchid is Black Orchid) I like to mix Ombre Leather with some flower perfume.
I love Tuscan Leather , but only on men ..it is mainly man perfume.
I get all compliments with Black Orchid original one, I only do not wear it in summer over 25-27C.
My Mom have Oud Wood, beautiful one, great for mixing too.
She is getting Ébène Fumé too.
Tom Ford perfumes are artworks, that is all I have to say
Awesome!
Ombre Leather is the Goat off all
I wish TF didn’t discontinue so many fragrances. Fougere platine is a gem
Ombre Leather is a no-go for me! Personally, I prefer not to smell like leather unless I'm wearing a high-quality leather jacket, and at that point, you don't need a leather fragrance. 🤷🏾
Id love to see your opinion on ones Like Lost Cherry, Cherry Smoke, Myrrhe Mystere, Rose Prick etc etc
could you rank your favorite pdm fragrances
Love the shirt, looking for it online. What brand is it?
Banana Republic!
I have to agree with Ombre Leather, It's ok, but not very impressive. I find it to have a strange green/bitter backbone during the dry down (Pine/woody like almost)
Actually Montale's Aoud Leather is a better version for me (Although it's technically more of a tuscan leather "clone") It has the exact same leather note with a minty like fruity quality (It reminds me of watermelon Tridents)
How many sprays would you recommend for darker, stronger Tom Fords?
In my case it is Noir De Noir.
I don't do more than 4 sprays for fragrances like that
I would love your opinion on noir de noir I own a sample it’s definitely full bottle worthy.
Need to try it again. But I'm glad you love it.
Hi Justin, I just subscibed. Not because of your content, although that is excellent, too, having watched several videos, but because your speech is like a symphony to my ears. I am female, Dutch, and have a deep passion and love for perfume. As such I have been following several female vloggers and I have now reached the point where I just can't watch a video without getting irritated. These are 'native' speakers and their knowledge of the English language is just cringeworthy. I'm not saying you should be a professor in order to make videos for any social platform, but for someone who is not a native speaker it's alarming to notice their speech is riddled with grammatical mistakes. And the weird thing is I have heard a particular mistake in a video, and soon after I heard others making it as well. It's like they are parroting each other. And I can't help to think that they think it's cute. These are adult women and they just sound like teens. I have a background in several languages, namely French, English, German, Italian and obviously Dutch, so I am very sensitive to the correct use of language. Sorry for ranting. I just needed to get it out of my system.
Anyway, great video. I personally love TF, and think of his private blend as well as his signature line as niche.
This means the world to me. Thank you so much for the very high compliment!
I will not comment on other people and the way they speak, but I totally agree with you regarding Justin’s voice, which is the best voice ever.
Guys do you think as a woman I could rock tobacco oud? I can get my hands on it for 190$ per 50mL.
I use oud wood, tobacco vanille and can wear black orchid in the summer, but I cannot handle tuscan leather.
Definitely! But only as long as you love the scent. 😎
@@stayfreshproductions would have to blind buy it. 🙈
@@Gym-Stin haha, I understand. My answer still stands. If you love it, you can definitely pull it off. If you don’t…well there’s your answer! 😆
Fougère D’Argent #1 LETS GOOO
You should sample Myrrhe Mystere. Opening is a little rough but dry gives me a clean church vibe.
I have heard that is kind of like Ébène Fume, is that true?
@@onlyu2highextremely similar in that they’re resinous dominant.
I’m curious about it.
Great job Justin
What about TF Noir Extreme?
It’s great
I know that you don't rate something you don't own/like. Hear me out. Theoretically and I know for sure you like this one, if you had Tobacco Vanille. What would you rate it on this list?
Maybe somewhere in the top 5, not sure!
@@stayfreshproductionsThought so! When I first tried it, I didn't like it. But it kept whispering to me, tried it again. Absolutely loved it.
Have you smelled plum japonáis? If so what are your thoughts?
It’s literally in this video
Got a sample of ebene fume. I also have Gucci Guilty Intense and it felt very similar. What's your opinion?
They’re pretty different to me! But they could be worn for the same occasions.
Hi Justin, where can I get Fougere d'Argent? The fragance, not the sample
I’m not so sure. Mine was sent by a friend. You may have to Google it.
I like Ombré Leather (last long with few sprays and mellows out), Costa Azzura and Portofino. Oud Wood nice scent but doesn’t last or project.
Great series!!!
Thank you!
My favorite is Ebene Fume. Kinda disappointed when it wasn't in your list.
It is on this list.
I hope u can review Parfums from House of Penhaligons too
Really Good and Expensive Perfumes , i try some of them and i was very happy with them. BUT they are not easy for most people to understand the Quality and are not Mass appealing. Thats not good for some but bad for others.
I have Sartorial and Halfeti Cedar, and I’ve talked about them often.
@@stayfreshproductions maybe You should try the portrait collection too
Hello,Justin…greeting from Germany…if you would purchase bottle of oud wood ,which size would you prefer to buy…no matter price difference)
I would only buy as much as I knew I would wear. If you’ve already tried the scent and you love it, then buy whatever size matches your affinity for the scent. If you haven’t tried it yet, I would get a decant first.
Plum Japonais is my all-time favorite...and very appealing sayeth the Japanese ladies...
What is your favorite brand you can find a perfume for each situation, season, day or night ?
Zaharoff is great for that. But so is Roja Parfums, Nishane, Hermes…you get the idea. Hard to choose just one
@@stayfreshproductions I have a lot of perfumes no like you I just love fragrances but I am still looking for something like a wao… people notice you … I have not find yet this …and I have really good perfumes like aventus, ombré leather, guisada ambassador, Chanel Blue, sport extreme, Dior savage, I want try Amoage and P of Marly … thanks so much for responding
