Ébène Fumé Eau de Parfum review

Ébène Fumé Eau de Parfum is the Private Blend pick for smoky wood scents. Tom Ford describes it as meditative, built on palo santo smoke with cistus absolute, black pepper absolute and ebony wood, finished with leather. That profile is distinct from Oud Wood, which is warmer and sweeter, so the two can sit side by side. It scores lower on experience because smoke and leather suit evenings and cool weather more than daily wear, and because the 3.4 oz bottle, the matching candle and the body spray were out of stock at our check. The 0.34 oz, 1.0 oz and 1.7 oz bottles were available. It is priced in the Private Blend tier with Oud Wood. Tom Ford Beauty limited our requests, so we could not take a quotable USD price from the product page and the price is marked pending. Start with the travel size if smoky scents are new to you. We compared published notes and sizes only.
