TF has so many great offerings but their prices have no turned me away from wanting to try anything new. I did try the new Spiecomb because of you and I loved it. Congratulations on 100K, Chris.
Another superb “ honest” video as always Chris , you are the only uk channel I trust , almost 100k it will happen before Sunday , congratulations in advance as I’ve been with you from the start mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I absolutely love myrrh mystere and tobacco oud or the intense version. I was able to find MM and Black Lacquer for way under retail online. Keep an eye out and you can find deals quite often
Just got a 10ml of this..Holy shit, it's fantastic. My favorite is Oud Minerale, and this is neck and neck. Notes of cedar, maybe nutmeg and sandalwood, yet some metallic notes. Its great,and probably worth the money because you won't smell like everybody else.
Got chance to try this in airport. I think it’s very Ebene Fume with the incense wound right off! Nice but will wait till discount push through to pick it up.
For that much money for the quantity, I want an above-average silage. Sounds interesting, tho. These retailers and greedflation are out of control. We are not supposed to mind an industrywide switch from 100 ml to 50 ml but same price points.
Tom Ford Private blend was never known for their long- lasting sillages, even the best ones.... bought a dozen different Private blends but stopped like 5 years ago. And NO SAMPLES at that time....
Got Black Laquer sample with my Fucking Fabulous. Price is prohibitive, but would I buy it now that I have smelled it on my skin? I would. Your review hits it dead on. I agree there is the TF DNA in it.
Hello from Paris ! Thank you for your post about this mysterious fragrance. Was sharing your passion for the Tom Ford Private blend. Neroli Portofino, my first one was excellent, but not very long lasting. They did Neroli Portofino Intense, marvelous, but discontinued ... Tuscany leather, great,Rives d'ambre,average, Fougere argent,ok, Sole de Positano, Big problem: few notes, off in 2 minutes. This made me contact their customer support at the time, and I explained the situation. The response was insulting, asking me if I got a counterfeit - had the ticket from Sephora. Since that day, I realized that Tom Ford fragrances (Estee lauder) were under treating every new creation. Now, Tom Ford is not involved in any way with the new perfumes. So, I understand your passion, but the short lasting and no sillage for a 450$ Neroli Portofino Parfum, scam. Best regards, Razvan Tasca
Is it just me or does this remind anyone of Interlude man black iris? ? The dry down on the Tom Ford Black Lacquer kept me thinking I have smelled this before, and I realised the dry down is similar to Interlude Black Iris.. anyone?
Awesome review! I really want to get a sample of this and try it out 🙂 had been a little bit since I visited your channel and I just want to say huge congratulations on 100K! That's amazing! You so deserve it. I've learned so much from your channel!
Few days ago I got a great deal on PDM Pegasus Exclusif - 200 euro for 125ml. No way am gonna spend almost twice for 50ml. Just wait for Maison Alhambra take.
Sounds like a truly great one, Chris! One that seems like it has a similar vibe is Liqueur BPM by L'Orchestre Parfums. It's one of my favorite pick-ups this year! Have you tried it?
Congratulations matey. You made 100k brilliant achievement, many many hrs of blood sweat and tears.I was watching your vid the other day when you had just reached 100 subscribers and how chuffed you were, and you did mention 100k on that vid. Well you’ve made it, I still tune into FM now and then and have been keeping my eye open for you to reach this milestone , many many congratulations again and here’s to the next 100k 🍺🍺🍺🥃🍷🥂🍾👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Nigel, it’s been a wild few years and I feel my channel has spanned several different ‘eras’ of fragcomm. It’s been slow and steady but I finally made it. It doesn’t seem long ago that we did your livestream for my 50k! Thanks for being there all these years mate. Means a lot 😊
I've tryed it s brilliant but it does not last and for that price no, the market is saturated with alternatives, I will give it another go but I don't have the money to throw away
Great review. I’m sure I’ll like this but I wouldn’t pay that much on principle alone. 100ml of Amouage is LESS and you know they are not the same quality of ingredients. One has to ask, are there really that many super affluent people out there who will just pay this? Wouldn’t they want to sell more for a more reasonable price? 🤔
I always find it funny when people, including yourself I guess, state that a perfume is too expensive because it is 300 dollars instead of 150. Technically the entire hobby of perfume collecting is wasteful and extravagant as most people would smell fine just showering frequently and using appropriate deodorant. Perfume is largely a niche hobby to begin with. I don’t understand refusing to pay a certain amount based off of “principle”. Tom Fords private blend level of perfumery is niche within a niche. If you like it and you can afford it what’s wrong with buying it?
@@vikram8578 It's true that perfume is (or can be) an expensive habit, and I have certainly spent a lot on certain perfumes I've really liked. However, I try not to leave all sense at the door when considering these things. Value for money is a legitimate consideration. For example, I like quite a few of the Le Labo City Exclusives and, frankly, could afford to buy them (and admittedly have twice). But, they are now asking $540 for 100ml. I think that's objectively ridiculous. And because I do have some knowledge of ingredient costs, I'm comfortable saying that there is nothing in them that makes them inherently costlier. All that said, I'm not out to discourage or shame anyone. If you like it and want it, go for it. I bought Ebene Fume at full price because it was worth it to me. But this is priced even above that. It gets a little too "cash grabby" for my taste.
To all the dumb comments about " Estée Lauder acquiring Tom Ford fragrances" : Tom Ford fragrances have always been made by Estée Lauder , since he started his fragrance line in 2006. They owned it since the beginning. They only difference today is they recently acquired his fashion business also.
£300 for 50ml is absolutely insulting, what is happening with Tom Ford. I can't wait to put 10mls on at the airport next week just to spite them. £60 on my neck.
I think all new tom ford its not interesting its not special Like cherry, peach, tuberose etc Old collection from private blend better than the new one
Nah, I tried this at Nordstroms last week. Lady let me put on 4 sprays (frequent customer) I was very underwhelmed and in two hrs it was barely detected by my wife and her sister. I don't agree with your description on review at all and I like your channel (no hater) especially when you have on ATH. Pa$$ on this. Tom Ford has fallen off. You're buying weak frags for strong money
Congratulations on reaching 100k! 🦄🦄🦄🦄
Thank you!!
Thank you Chris! 100K celebration coming up? 🤔 So close!! Honestly Lauder should send you a bottle just for that. 😂
Black on black always looks good!
€300 for 50ml? I stick with Amouage, it's more reasonable.
Agreed TF fragrances just don’t justify the price. I bought tobacco Vanille recently but got it cheaper on discounter
Yeah because 265€ for 50ml of Amouage Reflection Man is reasonable lol
Theres no fragrance whats worth that much @putocardi
Look for flankers or buy low volume
More like 350 in euros😅
TF has so many great offerings but their prices have no turned me away from wanting to try anything new. I did try the new Spiecomb because of you and I loved it. Congratulations on 100K, Chris.
Thanks Chad!
Love TF cologne. Have six of them. Want to get this one too. Can’t wait. Can’t get it until October 1. Thanks for the video!
Almost 100k subscribers! Great job, Chris!
Yes! Thank you!
Another superb “ honest” video as always Chris , you are the only uk channel I trust , almost 100k it will happen before Sunday , congratulations in advance as I’ve been with you from the start mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Much appreciated Neale! It will be a great Milestone. Huge thanks for your support!
Congratulations mate 100k
That’s why my TF collection is small. The price you pay, for 1/2 the juice just deters me from getting more of his cologne.
You know what also deters you from getting more TF cologne? Let's get real it's the tax bracket you represent. It's not for you. Move along
@@Snk13_ty. The top shelf of my fragrance collection would embarrass what you have. Move along.
@@Snk13_ty Upload a video of your bank account balance. I bet you wont
@user-be8rj1yf1e what's next upload pics of penis size😂😂🤦
@@Snk13_tyLook at this clown. 🫵🏼😂
Congratulations on 100K Chris! Well deserved! All the best! 🍻
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Very good honest take. Very rare among reviews. Cheers mate

Going by the price of the 50ml bottle they gave you 36 quid's worth in samples 😅
You’re pumping out the new fragrance reviews. I love it!
The Tobacco Oud reference has got me excited - I need to try this!
Got a sample as well. I thought it was a more wearable amouage interlude man 53 as you said. Love it.
Congrats on the 100k Chris!
Thanks!!
Many Congratulations on reaching 100k Chris, very well deserved!! 🥳

Oh I was waiting for this one, appreciate your take on it Chris, I will get it, thank you!!!
Go fot that... it's your time mate !

I'm past TF fragrances, Estee Lauder can keep it.

Neroli Portofino is terrible, very basic Neroli fragrance, you smell like toilet detergent for 300$
Congratulations Chris on 100k
Thank you!
Is it just me or does this remind anyone of Interlude man black iris? ?
The dry down on the Tom Ford Black Lacquer kept me thinking I have smelled this before, and I realised the dry down is similar to Interlude Black Iris..
anyone?
Every thing you said reminds me to wear ELDO Rein Intense Incense
Sounds interesting. I am tempted to buy a travel size!
Time to send for that silver TH-cam play button Chris 👍
Haha soon. Nice milestone 😊

Had a dabble on this as a blind buy on Perfume Parlour and really do not like it. I will have to see what the real deal smells like 👍🏻
Few days ago I got a great deal on PDM Pegasus Exclusif - 200 euro for 125ml. No way am gonna spend almost twice for 50ml. Just wait for Maison Alhambra take.

Congratulations on 100k!! Amazing!! Silver Play Button on the way 🎉
Thanks mate! Nice milestone to hit
Great work
What fragrance would Richard Wisker wear?
First time in your channel , love the review . Do you have any women fragrances reviews here or can you make one?
Chris, if you know Bond No. 9's Harrods Agarwood, how would you say they compare?
YOU JUST HIT 100K Subs! Congrats mate! 🎉 Hope to follow at least 10% of your footsteps. I just started my channel too 😊
Masterpiece. My everyday signature…hahaha!
Is that the Tissot PRX 40mm I see on your wrist???
Tissot prx quartx or auto?
If you take ebene smoke and mix it with tobacco oud...remove the oud, you'll have this fragrance
I've tryed it s brilliant but it does not last and for that price no, the market is saturated with alternatives, I will give it another go but I don't have the money to throw away
I find the name a bit weird, feels like something you'd ask for at B&Q.
😂
Estée Lauder taking the pisch since acquiring TF…
99.9K, almost at that 100K 🤩👍
Is the bottle still cheap feeling in the hand? Those caps should be heavier and not twist around. Hate how cheap his bottles feel for the price.
Smelled like an Ebeny Fume flanker
If you want to kill a brand reputation, let Estée Lauder or L'Oréal acquire it and it will spiral downwards quickly.
Swear to GOD.... your words got us convinced this is going to be insane. Just checked all our American places and can't find it. 😤
I got a sample about a month ago and it reminds me so much of Amouage King Blue
100k looking at you 💯 🎉 Chris
Petition to have this renamed blacquer
Clean cut
Great review. I’m sure I’ll like this but I wouldn’t pay that much on principle alone. 100ml of Amouage is LESS and you know they are not the same quality of ingredients.
One has to ask, are there really that many super affluent people out there who will just pay this? Wouldn’t they want to sell more for a more reasonable price? 🤔
Only poor people would pay for that, rich people are not rich my accident.

Roll on 100k subs 💪
Everything is Loreal now, no?
Come on 100k...
I'm waiting for a clone...❤
I guess Albert Wesker would wear this 😎
Sadly, almost every TF release in the last couple of years has been a disappointment to me
Is the Tom in the room with us
Love Tom Ford but it looks like a Perfume Parlour bottle mate 😂🤣
Bet it's a plastic cap too.
Bold and provocative? Yeah, 4711’s 2 hour clone is absolutely both of those things.
Chris, its funny that tom ford have cloned ahmed al maghribi's ignite oud....😂😂
I never thought i would see this day😅
Black lacquer=ignite oud
Tom Ford is such a unique fragrance house. I can’t pull off many of them but can certainly appreciate the great smells.
300 quid for 50ml? 😂 I’ll just wait for perfume parlour to release their version me thinks
They are out for their minds in pricing let them keep them and see what happens
Tom Ford prices exagerated bruh it’s not a roja dove or Amouage
£300 for 50ml is absolutely insulting, what is happening with Tom Ford.
I can't wait to put 10mls on at the airport next week just to spite them. £60 on my neck.
Wow
OK…. But I’ll stick to amouages. I mean… why? Even if you can afford it… why?
Too much pepper on the opening, its kind of unbearable. Dries down nicely, similar to discontinued oud wood intense.
❤🙌
At 300 for 50ml!
Nah mate way too over the top Chris.
300 quid for a close to the skin scent. Absolutely not.
It smells look like tobacco oud
vinyl note..next year we will see dvd-rom note , iphone note ,bmw note...this is becoming laughable
not really, vinyl has a pretty characterizable smell
Casette-tape note could be huge though; massive nostalgia factor.
@@ElijsDima hehe , yes that has a smell also.
Ha ha you’re not wrong
Swimming pool liner would have sufficed.
They should name one called ...dick cheese 20ml for 5000pounds.
I think all new tom ford its not interesting its not special
Like cherry, peach, tuberose etc
Old collection from private blend better than the new one
What a Rip off 50ml
Depends on the person. For some, it's worth it, for others, it's not.
Tom Ford isn’t even part of the brand anymore
He did not make any of the previous ones anyway, so…
Tom Ford is a dead brand. He sold out to corporate types just like his fashion Idol Halston did in the early 1970s.
first
The name "lacquer" turns me off. Do you want to spray unhealthy chemical liquid on your skin?
Absolutely, that’s what perfume is
Nah, I tried this at Nordstroms last week. Lady let me put on 4 sprays (frequent customer) I was very underwhelmed and in two hrs it was barely detected by my wife and her sister. I don't agree with your description on review at all and I like your channel (no hater) especially when you have on ATH. Pa$$ on this. Tom Ford has fallen off.

Performance is horrible
Yes fading so quick unlike normal tf products
