Ébène Fumé Tom Ford 2021

I vowed to avoid any Tom Ford in their latest ridiculous price bracket. I did test it though and that instigated a hunt and I found a deal at about a little over half the list price. That fits the bill. It is a lot like Bois Marocain, which I like, but it is better, as if a dash of London is added and the volume set at 9. I really like the woodsy notes, they remind me of Port Orford ceder, a smell you might know if you make arrows. It has legs too, I get nice waffs from the collarbones up for about 7 hours and they make me smile. ‘Cause it is a good waff. Unfortunately it is a rather linear scent. After the top has passed (with that odd palo santo note, some incense and a prickly pepper) it is what it is and stays that way. I think at the list price, a scent should take you on a journey, and it does not do that. It does give you a very nice destination however, if you can find a deal for it.
