Tom Ford fragrances fall into the more very expensive designer category of perfumes. They tend to be less synthetic and contain more ‘rare’ notes than other mainstream scents. However, Tom Ford also produces some really great scents for women. These perfumes tend to stand out and make a statement, which can be a good or bad thing depending on the person wearing it.
The scents on this list will be more along the lines of a signature perfume for the right lady and not all of them will have universal appeal.
What are the Best Smelling Ladies Fragrances by Tom Ford?
Popular Fragrance Choice
Tom Ford Black Orchid By Tom Ford For Women. Eau De Parfum Spray 3.4-Ounces
Not quite feminine nor is it over to the masculine side of fragrance either. This one can be loved or hated, but it is bold and sexy, nevertheless.
Black Orchid is not only a top level fragrance with its sillage, but it seemingly lasts forever. Yes, Tom Ford fragrances are priced on the higher end, but you get every penny’s worth with this perfume’s performance.
It’s sweet, it’s dark and dry, it’s smokey, and then powdered. Black Orchid has a lot of personality and the composition has a very well done complexity. Marvelous.
Best Overall
Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme Eau De Parfum, 3.4 Ounce
A beautiful fragrance that is soaked in amber, has a creamy tone, on top of smooth sandalwood. Noir Pour Femme is much more of a cold weather fragrance and hangs in the air wonderfully without being too in your face about it.
Noir Pour Femme has a lot of overlap with Noir Extreme for Men. Less intense at the start, but that beautfiul dry down is pretty close to one another. Noir Extreme is one of my favorite men’s offerings from this brand, so, it makes sense that I would enjoy this too.
This is probably my personal favorite and what I’d say is the best smelling. That being said, it is a fragrance for the colder months, which isn’t going to work well in heat. So, if that really applies to your living situation, I’d go with something else.
Cherry Delicious
Tom Ford Lost Cherry Unisex EDP Spray 1.7 oz– Lost Cherry has become recently very popular and it’s pretty easy to understand, once you smell it. Well, assuming you like sweet cherry.
The newer releases like Cherry Smoke and Electric Cherry, weren’t nearly as good as this one which kicked off the use of this note.
It starts off with that sweetness, but warm and with a thicker aroma. The cherry at the start, is very much like a liqueur or the syrup from Dr. Pepper’s Cherry flavor. Amaretto and cherry syrup, yep, really reminds me of that Dr. Pepper.
Then, that will subside and the almond note will move in. The cherry liqueur seemingly gets replaced by a more naturalistic cherry aroma. Less thick, more fresh with some added spices.
The sillage however, is pretty light to moderate. Some folks have had a problem with performance, but it lasts 7-7.5 hours, on my skin. Again, not with a massive projection throughout.
Nonetheless, this one smells delicious, and for sure one to test if it sounds like something you’d like. Lost Cherry Full Review
Best Summer Tom Ford Perfume
Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc Spray, 3.4 Ounce, Eau de Toilette Spray
Soleil opens with that coconut note, and a very juicy bergamot, with an underlying tuberose floral note.
These ingredients pair well and add the sweet creaminess of the perfume, but this is made spicier by the cardamom and just a hint of warm pink pepper.
As it moves along, the floral notes really begin to emerge and blend with a creamier and less sweetened coconut note. A very light warmth and spice is there from the cardamom. It has really good performance and delivers that day at the beach vibe to perfection.
The sillage isn’t super strong, but Soleil Blanc will last for 10+ hours. Eau de Soleil Blanc is the flanker to this. It has more of a citrus opening and sun tan lotion dry down. I only tried that one, once. So, I’m not positive which I prefer, as of this update. Soleil Blanc Full Review
Most Interesting
Tom Ford Velvet Orchid Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce
Similar to Black Orchid? Yes. However, it is less intense, and has a sweeter and boozier profile. Warm rum with thick honey, creamy vanilla, and the floral bouquet led by the orchid note. Quite rich with a dark depth.
Top Woody Perfume
Tom Ford Santal Blush Eau De Parfum, 1.7 Ounce
It’s very clean and fresh with powdered elements and the aforementioned spices sitting underneath. Mostly though, Santal Blush is a woody fragrance, first and foremost. At times, it is creamy. Other times, it’s musky. Overall, it is simply great.
Easy to Love Citrus and Floral
Tom Ford Sole di Positano Eau de Parfum Spray, 3.4 oz
Zesty citrus blend up top that is dominated by a mix of orange notes. Slight greenish and herbal spice sitting underneath that, but not to the same extent as other Tom Ford citrus offerings.
Jasmine and ylang-ylang really emerge later on. But, with the orange blossom and neroli, this one still retains a balance with its citrus beginnings.
A great spring and summer option with decent, but not amazing performance. Sole di Positano Review
Just Peachy
Tom Ford Bitter Peach by Tom Ford Eau De Parfum Spray (Unisex) 1.7 oz Men– Bitter Peach is a newer edition to the list, but I think that it’s well worth putting on and gives a different experience from the other options.
I was also tempted to put Soleil Neige on, but that while enjoyable, never reaches a higher level.
You get a lot of the peach as expected, early on. However, it is flanked by orange and patchouli notes, as well.
It is a ripe peach, with that bitterness, and a great gourmand package of vanilla and patchouli. The former gives the juicy fruit a creaminess and is joined by floral notes including heliotrope. The peach is the main star and the scent is quite bold and provides a very long lasting wear.
Top Floral Perfume
Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge eau de parfum for women 1.7 oz
The jasmine is mostly paired with ylang-ylang and this is wrapped up in a nice amber on top of smooth wood.
Jasmin Rouge has a moderate and refined sillage, which won’t overpower, but does have a terrific modern floral aroma. This Tom Ford is very well blended and at times the supporting notes won’t really stand out from one another.
Though, this is one of the top fragrances for those who love jasmine. Jasmin Rouge Review
Sweet Wintertime Scent
TOM FORD Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum 50 ML(1.7 OZ)
Tonka bean, dried fruits, and cacao join some spices to help round out the main tobacco/vanilla combination.
Tobacco Vanille is another beast performer by Tom Ford. It will last all day and doesn’t take much to have it be noticed.
I used to enjoy this one more, in the past. It’s still good, but doesn’t capture my attention in the same way it once did. Very worth checking out, though. Tobacco Vanille Review
Best Leather Fragrance
Ombré Leather Eau de Parfum Spray, 1.7-oz.
This fragrance is very dry and warm, with leather being the main star.
However, it is joined by amber and moss, that play the background. Jasmine is quite noticeable and plays amazingly off of the leather note.
I do personally like this Ombre Leather more than the Parfum version. That edition utilizes a violet leaf note, giving things a slightly different vibe. It is still very good, though.
Super smooth and rich leather, like an enveloping jacket. A moderate wear with an overall clean aroma, but with an earthy dirtiness underneath. Awesome. Ombre Leather Review

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
