I’ve been collecting Tom Ford fragrances for years, slowly building a lineup that’s part personal archive, part olfactory obsession. At first, I told myself I was drawn to the bottles, the names, the luxury of it all. But over time, I realized there’s a clear pattern in the scents I keep reaching for: they’re rich, indulgent, and borderline edible. Turns out, I’m a gourmand girl through and through. And no one does gourmand quite like Tom Ford.

There’s something about the way Tom Ford approaches gourmand notes that feels different. The sweetness is never syrupy, the richness never flat. These scents have depth to them. They layer beautifully and always manage to walk that line between seductive and sophisticated. Some lean warm and smoky, others are juicy and bold, but they all share this craveable quality that keeps me coming back for another spritz—no matter the occasion or day of the week. From sultry vanillas to spiced ambers and unexpected fruity twists, stick with me as I dive into a range of my favorite Tom Ford gourmand fragrances.

Angela Trakoshis spraying a bottle of Tom Ford Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum

Why we love it: If Netflix and chill were a rich girl from Calabasas, this is what she would smell like. It’s straight-up cozy and sexy at the same time. It’s not your usual sugary vanilla—you know the Y2K scents I’m talking about—but rather it’s creamier, a little woody, and just melts into your skin. It smells warm and inviting without being too much.

Key notes: Vanilla Tincture India, Vanilla Absolute, Sandalwood Essence, Jasmine Absolute, Orris Accord, Animalis Accord

Angela Trakoshis spraying a bottle of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale Eau de Parfum

Why we love it: Vanille Fatale is vanilla with attitude. It’s smoky, spicy, and a little mysterious. What makes it unique is that there’s coffee and saffron in it, and somehow it all just works (don’t ask me how. I’m a writer, not a perfumer!). It’s the kind of scent I throw on when I want to feel a little bold without going full drama. Now, if you’re looking for drama? I’ll get to that next.

Key notes: Safraleine, Frangipani Scenttrek, Coffee Absolute, Mahogany Wood Accord, Roasted Barley Orpur, Vanilla Resinoid

Angela Trakoshis spraying a bottle of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum

Why we love it: This one’s rich and bold. Think vanilla, but layered with tobacco and spices so it smells more peppery than a cupcake. The mix of tobacco, vanilla, and dried fruit gives it this almost gourmand vibe, but with a polished, grown-up twist. I always reach for it when I want to feel a little confident on a night out.

Key notes: Tobacco Leaf, Ginger, Spice Notes, Tonka Bean, Cocoa, Fruit Accord

Angela Trakoshis spraying a bottle of Tom Ford Electric Cherry Eau de Parfum

Why we love it: Fun and flirty is the only way to describe this scent. It’s bright and juicy right from the start, with that fizzy cherry note that feels almost like a sparkling cocktail. Once the scent is sitting for a minute, you’ll notice a musky spice that lingers to help balance out that sweetness. Overall, it’s just a happy and playful scent that should have the track Girls Just Wanna Have Fun playing while you spritz it.

Key notes: Orello Cherry Scenttrek, Pistachio Accord, Shimoga Ginger India Orpur, Jasmine Sambac Absolute, India Orpur, Sandalwood Accord, Ambrettolide

Angela Trakoshis spraying a bottle of Tom Ford Cherry Smoke Eau de Parfum

Why we love it: Cherry Smoke is the cool friend of the group, you know, the one who believes they’re better than everyone else. The cherry note in this bottle is darker and more subtle. It’s mixed with smoky woods and spices to give cherry, but in a low-key, mysterious way.

Key notes: Dark Cherry Flavor Accord, Smoked Wood Accord, Olibanum Somalia Orpur, Peru Balsam Resinoid, Osmanthus Absolute China Orpur, Cypriol India Orpur

Angela Trakoshis spraying a bottle of Tom Ford Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum

Why we love it: If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! You’ve made it to my ultimate favorite Tom Ford gourmand scent. Lost Cherry is rich, boozy, and straight-up delicious. It opens with this deep cherry note, like a cherry liqueur, then softens into something a bit more creamy and warm—think cherry ice cream. It’s sweet, but not in a teenage-perfume kind of way. I’m just obsessed with this one.

Key notes: Black Cherry Accord, Bitter Almond, Griotte Sirup Scenttrek, Rose Absolute Orpur, Peru Balsam, Roasted Tonka Orpur
