I sold mine. I tried to make myself like it, but Jeremy kept kicking in. He said it smells like "old grandma" 😅😂 I did indeed liked how it smelled on me about 10 hours later. Initially, it was just to strong, dark, and a bit warm. It smelled like extract.
I received my bottle of Vanilla Sex on Friday. It is indeed good but not great. In my opinion, it’s the vanilla version of Lost Cherry and the dry down is more of a cakey Lira without the lemon cake/merengue vibe. It has a muskiness to it that makes the fragrance lean unisex. It is delicious to say the least. Can’t justify the price point tho. Solid release from Tom Ford 💯 I’m looking forward to the relaunch of Oud Minerale !
I went to Tom Ford a few days ago as they had a tester for Vanilla Sex. It will be released 12/21 at Tom Ford and Sephora. I love vanilla and was super excited. On paper, I could smell creamy vanilla (sandalwood). On my skin, it was not creamy and much more sweet vanilla. I thought it was a nice vanilla but very underwhelming. Not a fit at all for the name. I will try again in the future but a pass for me as so many other new vanillas fragrances this year. I also tried the new signature line Oud Mineral. It smelled nice on paper but I have no reason to purchase. I asked the manager about Vanille Fatale. He said it was very minimal changes from original so you should revisit for sure. No release date was given. I did try Myrhh Mystere and thought it was amazing and really liked it. Not happy about the price $390 for 50 ml but it was really good and last forever. I need a big sale to buy it. My rep showed me that layering Lost Cherry and Myrhh Mystere was also an amazing trick and smells fabulous. That layering may make it more exciting for you. I'm not into layering at all except for what my TF rep tells me.
@@rob068and online Dec 20’. But I notice they removed those dates since so maybe it’s changed. I’m toronto Canada I was told by the TF rep at holt renfrew it’ll come out sometime in Jan. So who knows. The guessing game continues 😂
After reading some comments on fragrantica about Estee Launder donating to the IDF I decided to do some research and saldy I won't be buying any Estée Launder fragrances anymore including Tom Ford. Same goes for LVMH. I will still try it out, but wont purchasing it even though they are the best vanilla fragrances ever created.
Sebastian sounding like Aaron Terence Hughes in this one with the breakdown. I have no doubt you are engaged with your higher self Sebastian. Great job 👍. My only experience with Tom Ford are Ombre Leather, Tobacco Vanille and Noir Extreme EDP.
Tom Ford has been hit or miss for me, but now they're going into my territory, which is vanilla, so I will be wanting a decant. I have bought clones of TF fragrances before, I still have them, but this would be the first TF fragrance to come into the collection. My interest has peaked
I don't feel as "meh" about this release as many of the more recent ones from Tom Ford. Haven't gotten my nose on it yet but it sounds pleasant enough to be successful. The name is a little silly but for the price point its at I don't feel like its a want or need for my collection unless I fall head over heels for it. Hope you have a great trip to Japan, I can't wait to go back there.
I just had found and was about to purchase vanille fatal for the holidays when they took it off shelves to reformulate :( so sad, ive been searching for a good vanilla for years and years and loved it so much. I was told they were changing to a synthetic vanilla and possible other notes, i most likely wont like the new version but i’ll go smell to see
Definitely looking forward to sampling the relaunch of Vanille Fatale, I really enjoyed the opening of the original, but never liked the mid and dry down.
I have the version from Ulta, it is not an EDT, it is an Eau De Parfum and as far as I can tell it was exactly the same. I've gone through 25ml of it so far. I went back to grab a back up bottle a few months ago only to be dissapointed that it was no longer for sale.
Tom Ford (both the designer and his house) are marketing geniuses. His tenure at Gucci and YSL as speaks for itself, but just as small as changing the bottle colors has me thinking of picking up Vanille Fatale! Damn it.
I'll take a look at Vanilla Sex but I am rather irked that Estee Lauder now owns TF fragrance. I'm not sure I'm willing to pay the $$$ for a Estee Lauder fragrance. I have to think about it.
If I bought this and someone asked me what it was. I'd be too embarrassed to give them the name. So, I'm hoping there's a clone for this so I can direct them towards that 😂
Agree Whoever is running their marketing department has got to go. Just attention drawing names that I would have come up with when I was 13yrs old.@@masterofmyfate-gp4nu
What?! You gonna go to Japan? According to the article (Tom Ford Beauty Japan) The Vanilla sex will be in stores from 5th January in Japan. 50ml ¥52500 !
Hey, I have the original Vanille Fatale, I can’t wear it, although I’ve tried. It too cookie smelling to me, way too sweet. I’m interested in trying Vanilla Sex though.
Ultravanil is not musk like. It's very very overwhelming vanil smell and slightly smokey. Think musks are more like clean washing or animal like. Ultravanil is very unpalatable when neat.
I feel like the releases from tom ford are so weak nowadays. The performance on them new ones is so baad… Very curious about oud wood parfum and also ab oud minerale . Tbh about oud wood parfum i have a feeling will have very bad performance
Is the old version of vanille fatale still available to purchase and if yes please tell me where can I find it in the US. Please. Thank you in advance.
Definition of vanilla- having no special or extra features. Ordinary or standard. Should have just been called "meh" after their last couple of releases 🤣
It's so funny that now that Ford himself has nothing to do with his namesake brand the names of new fragrances are harking back to his early naughty years at Gucci 🤣
The naming styles of Tom Ford fragrances is becoming more and more vulgar, hence uninteresting to me! I hardly respect that, sorry not sorry! And again, unfortunately, even the PRICINGS and the COMPOSITIONS are uninteresting and lack the 'wow factors' for the price and the brand like you rightly said. Thanks for the update, Sebastien.

Yeah $395 for 1.7 oz (Vanilla Sex) is more than I’m willing to justify spending
Yes, it’s quite pricey
Yeah, they are hilarious. No thank you.
Facts! That’s ridiculous.
Yep! Ridiculous
I was in Nordstrom and before I knew it somehow the lady had my Cc in her hand 😢
Glad I have the original version of Vanille fatale. I got so many compliments on it this past fall season….
Me too
Its soooo sad what they did, its in my too wishlist, can't believe am not gonna get it!

Excited about VS, the color of the bottle also looks so cozy, reminds me a warm cashmere beige sweater...
I just checked on Vanille Sex at my local Sephora this past weekend. They're expecting it in January.
Their website says in store Dec. 21.

I like the name "vanilla sex" but hate the price tag!! It's insane...
I want this fragrance just for the name.
LOL
Tom ford needs to stop with the ridiculous price points
Sounds very similar to F**king Fabulous with the almond and vanilla notes. Curious to smell it. Tom Ford's pricing though, is just outrageous.
There’s no leather here, which makes them very different
Can't deny that the new Oud Minerale bottle looks syyyyyyyyk. 🕶 Never really liked the scent, but that brownish bronze is a great look.
Next one: Tonka 69
LOL!
🤣🤣🤣
Omg.. I’m laughing so hard 🏆
That would be a good name
Vanilla sex releases on December 20th on sephora.
Yeah, sales associate or representative from Estée Lauder said they might not get it in time we shall see

One of my favorite fragrances is Creed's Sublime Vanille
Great video, thank you for sharing! I was curious if the new Vanilla Sex is similar at all to the new Guerlain Vanille Planifolia extrait?
I will never stop loving Tom Ford but I am all the more excited that they have bought out a banger 👌🏻🙏🏻💯☺️
Sebastian sounding like Aaron Terence Hughes in this one with the breakdown. I have no doubt you are engaged with your higher self Sebastian. Great job 👍. My only experience with Tom Ford are Ombre Leather, Tobacco Vanille and Noir Extreme EDP.
I adore Metallique. Can't wait to try the vanillas.

Love the chemistry info! Very cool
I'm Excited to try them! Also, I really like the bottles lol
We know patchouli is your favorite note with vanilla being your second, but whats your third favorite note out of curiosity?
Rose
Plum japonais would be a great one to re introduce in some form. Pretty much all modern releases from TF have been uninspired for me
Ah yes for sure!!
I wasn’t able to get Noir Pour Femme before it was discontinued but I mix Vanille Fatale with Noir Extreme, chef’s kiss 😘
Thank you Sebastian for this amazing update 😁👍🏼Please stay safe and healthy. Merry Christmas!!!

Yeah they released three fragrances at Ulta. I tried them (not Oud minerale though) and they were awful. I returned both of them.
I'm so ready to try these out! I love vanilla fragrance. I'm still loving althaïr my favorite release for 2023. Great video man
How does it compare to Bianco Latte?
They need to stop charging an arm and a leg. This price is RIDICULOUS.
Hey Sebastian! Thank you!❤
Vanilla Sex is so powdery and Vanille Fatale is like Tobacco Vanille gone sweeter.
Can't wait to try these 😍😍😍
Clicked so fast!
So glad I bought a back up of Vanilla Fatale original. Any idea when Vanilla Sex will be available for sale in Australia?
I would love to try it.
Exactly.
Does it last long?
TF and in fact most fragrances are a bit pricier in Japan but tax free does help.
Curious to smell it. I might end up getting Myhre mystere if I get any of them though.
Great video

Got a free bottle from Influenster this week!
Sebastian - how "almondy" is the almond portion of Vanilla Sex? - I'm talking like Amaretto type almond. Thank you
Is it true that TF sales have suffered tremendously since their recent price increases?
I'll take a look at Vanilla Sex but I am rather irked that Estee Lauder now owns TF fragrance. I'm not sure I'm willing to pay the $$$ for a Estee Lauder fragrance. I have to think about it.
I watched this whole video hoping you would say plum japonais is coming back
How’s it compare to SCENTS OF WOOD- Vanilla in Armagnac ?
I wonder if Tom Ford collaborates or has any input in his brand anymore after selling it🤔
Doubt it
If I bought this and someone asked me what it was. I'd be too embarrassed to give them the name. So, I'm hoping there's a clone for this so I can direct them towards that 😂
Yes! Why give a fragrance a name that will exclude a large segment of your buying public.
Did you forgot, fu*king fabulous!! 😂
Agree
Whoever is running their marketing department has got to go. Just attention drawing names that I would have come up with when I was 13yrs old.@@masterofmyfate-gp4nu
My son in law has asked for F'ing Fabulous this year for Christmas. Hope he gets it so I can finally smell it. 😊
This is what I mean. You are unable to print or say the entire name.
Came and watched the second the notification popped. Am I curious or what?
Ha!!
I'd go with the word 'perverse', but who am I kidding. I'm here for the same reason 😂

Iso butivan is an interesting raw material as it smells like cream soda to me

It’s showing on Sephora as coming soon and to sign up for notifications.
Does Vanilla Sex smell similar to Jovoy’s Fire at Will?
Thanks Sebastian 12-25-2023❤
Happy Holidays!!
I hope to run into you while you're in Tokyo. I will ask you to sign my shirt when I see you.
We are tired from the high price end 😢😢😢

cco
@@isobel64 is that a store name?
Never heard of it
There's a few on ebay. Cheapest bottle is $235.
I really enjoyed Myrrh Mystere but it's not worth anywhere near the price they want for it.
Why is it important if you talked about VS a year ago? Other than bragging rights...
Neroli Portofino Parfum!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm actually wearing Tobacco Vanille right now
YES
Estée Lauder still printing money.
Is vanilla sex better than tobacco vanille?
I can’t answer this yet. Until I do a side by side
I need a sample
Me too.
Where's the sex? Seems like they should have put an anamalic in it
smelled vanilla sex and its powdery almond, not much vanilla until the drydown and even then not as much
TF is getting out of hand with the prices there not even niche but charging more
Call it vanilla and I am there!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tom fords pricing is worse than creed
Yay
And if you mix Vanille Fatale and Vanilla Sex you’re bound to get Fatal(e) Sex. 👀
😂😂😂😂
Fragrantica has Vanilla Sex rated low. What's up with that?
because its more almond than vanilla
@@isobel64Is it more like Parfums De Marly Pegasus or the Exclusif... sort of what comes to mind.
Can’t wait for the dupes I’m buying vanilla sex asap when they dupe it
Orgasmic Vanille would have been a better name 😂
