Tom Ford London starts with a blunt blast of black pepper and cumin that mimics the hot, metallic breath of a subway station.

Created by perfumer Dominique Moellhausen in 2022, it opens with a brisk snap of crisp peppermint, tart rhubarb, and pungent cannabis smoke tempered by aromatic cardamom and caraway seed.

The foundation rests on dark patchouli, earthy vetiver, smoky birch, and frankincense. It smells dry, woodsy, and atmospheric, delivering a moody outdoor campfire vibe with an invigorating minty punch. Show less
