Vanilla Sex by Tom Ford leads with bitter almond, sharp against the sweetness that follows. Vanilla and soft florals fill the heart, before a dense vanilla base takes over, backed by tonka bean and sandalwood. It reads warm and a little nutty rather than simply sugary. Launched in 2023, women wear it most, and it suits anyone who wants vanilla pushed into something woodier and fuller. Cold-weather voters keep it close, worn through the evening and into night, and it is rich enough for a late work event. The longevity vote leans moderate. Sillage draws a clearer moderate vote as well. A 3ml decant is enough to test it across a week of cold nights.

The community verdict
Vanilla Sex opens with bitter almond before vanilla and floral notes emerge at the heart, followed by tonka bean in the base. The largest group reports moderate wear, while others find it long-lasting; most report moderate projection. Its soft, sweet style suits winter nights, and autumn evenings work too.
