Layer It With

Curated scent pairings to build a signature from Tom Ford Vanilla Sex. Each combination is vetted by perfumers, editors, and community.

Oud, warmed by vanilla skin.

Autumn
Winter
Unisex

Tom Ford's own boutique recommendation — sensual oud doubled by warm-skin vanilla. Compliment heavy.

The brightener for heavy days.

Spring
Summer
Unisex

Adds an uplifting citrus accessory to anything richer — works whenever a scent feels too heavy for the weather.

Layering Tip

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
