Missionary position would have been an even more stupid name or marketing is not an easy job either

In fact, I was already gleefully anticipating some kind of vanilla waterloo.

Baking vanilla, castoreum and jasmine and the masterpiece is ready.
I would have bet on it.
And don't ask me why jasmine of all things.

But it's actually good.
I don't mean "it doesn't cause migraines or nausea" - good but "for a civilized price I would buy it" - good.

Finally, for a long time, a Tom Ford fragrance with a certain unique selling point. I can't think of another that captures this vibe like this.

As the name suggests, there is vanilla in every form. Vanilla pods, vanilla sugar, vanilla scent trees. Baking vanilla. Vanilla vanilla vanilla. Surprisingly, it never becomes too much and the carpet of flowers and almond sprinkles make it a very wearable and interesting fragrance.
Even the performance is more than okay. If you're not a fan of hygiene, you'll probably still be smelling the fragrance on your clothes in ten years' time.

Oh, the sex. I have no idea where it is. I don't notice animalic at all.

It must have gone something like this when the marketing department was brainstorming:

- How about vanilla sex. That's flat enough to attract attention. And at the same time, customers suspect an erotic component. An erotic effect always works.

- Gni Hi Hi.
He said sex. Pffffft.

- Hubert, pull yourself together. Have you finally thought about a price.

- Um. Twelve hundred gold ducats?

- Yes, that's very well calculated. Ford has always charged far too little. Artists, what can you expect.

And that brings us back to the much-vaunted pricing policy.
In my opinion, it has no place in reviews. Unless it's the only reason not to buy the perfume.

It's the only reason not to buy the perfume.
