82% Vol. - 36 Months - Anti-Herpes Agent? and Made In Germany
First of all thanks to Jeremy, his brother and who else is responsible for the logistical masterstroke to deliver a product via Kickstarter on time. Rarely! Class!
The best office scent is it, yes, in Jeremy's eyes.
I don't see it that way. For me Nathalie Lorsons Bentley For Men Intense, for example, is a better office fragrance, even if now someone will scream again that this is not an office fragrance. For the home office it's enough ;-).
Further examples see below.
But what is Jeremy supposed to say other than that it is the best "office" fragrance in the world?
Should he have advertised the fragrance as the 8- or 10-best office fragrance?
No, then almost nobody would buy it. Marketing technically everything done right.
Flacon: Solid German workmanship
Sprayer: The sprayer is top.
Cap: Solid German workmanship and made of cardboard.
Wait a minute! Cardboard box for the Best Office Fragrance Made In Germany?
Why?
Something doesn't fit and I'm speculating now:
The cap was not included in the calculation or was not ready in time for an April delivery.
You can't.
The cap is a part of the presentation of a fragrance and can be an eye-catcher and noble like e.g. with Amouage or with PdM ("Marlies your perfume").
With such little things you can mess up your image and the image of your baby enormously.
Now to the fragrance:
Linalool, Limonene, Citronellol, Citral, E321 (BHT) are only some of the chemicals used here.
Quote about BHT from Wikipedia:
"In the 1980s, the efficacy of BHT against herpes simplex viruses in hamsters was determined, but allergic reactions of the test subjects to BHT prevented further use in this area. "
The result is a woody, fresh fragrance that is not too intrusive, that misses the WOW effect and is a solid, long-lasting office fragrance. More not, less also not.
I find the wood a bit too dominant for my taste.
Sillage: OK.
Durability: Very good performance 8+ hours. Overtime in the office is quite possible.
Price: 2x 100 ml = 170 Euro in Super Early Bird Special is appropriate.
However, for three times the price, as previously announced, I would never buy it. Maybe with a gold cap

Still fucking fabulous & great & smooth & expensivo
I've had the scent for some time now and only use it for very special occasions, so rarely.
But when I smell him, it's like Christmas. Not that the fragrance judges like Christmas, but it is so special that I use the comparison with the Feast of Love here.
I'm fascinated every time how the scent smells. Quite different from other fragrances, quite creamy, but well creamy as I like it.
And then there is the almond note, which is outstandingly successful and gives the fragrance a special note.
At first I thought the almond touch smells like mountain pine oil, which also applies a little bit.
After the first spraying on the skin you have to give the fragrance a moment until it unfolds.
The alcohol is to be smelled briefly and then still so a small sour note, which I can not assign.
Today I was at the company D in Wiesbaden and they had almost all Tom Ford fragrances, including Fucking Fabulous.
The scent on the D test tape (green) somehow didn't smell like it should. He didn't come across so well on the paper strip either. So my recommendation is to spray the fragrance on your skin and then wait a while until the alcohol has evaporated and the fragrance develops. After 8 hours I can still feel the scent on my skin. The silage is above average, although not as extreme as my signature scent - Amouage Interlude Man.
There's one thing I wanted to get rid of here. I was gonna buy the 250 ml bottle today. I inquired at the specialist saleswoman about the price, who then had to fetch her boss for the key to the cupboard. This lady of somewhat older year had looked at me so strangely, according to the motto: "You can't afford it at all", that I will buy the fragrance now somewhere else.
Company D trains also your "Frigates" once again correctly in handling potential customers.
Well, that should be said.
Conclusion: fragrance super, shelf life 10, silage above average, bottle naja.
Good evening

Are you all right, Tom?
Actually, I like many different scents, whether with rose or spicy woody scents. They may be a little cute, too, but discreet.
So now for the fragrance Tom Ford - Tobacco Oud:
I had the scent bottled and it smells like tobacco, not the sweet tobacco, but rather a dirty tobacco that has already been smoked. I sprayed it on my skin and somehow I don't like it there either. In the beginning: Too dirty, too linear.
Dry-down: Still the same smell. Where's oud, sandalwood and patchouli?
In the old days, pubs stank better after a night of drinking. Good that Mr. Ford also has better fragrances in his portfolio. This one won't even get into my top 20.
How do you get rid of that smell?
Have tried layering and see dar, Bond No.9 Little Italy, of which I'm not convinced either, creates improvement and tames the smell a little, probably by the artificial citrus parts.
Conclusion: Will remain for me only at the bottling.
I'm already looking forward to vanilla fatale
