Tom Ford

Tom Ford, an American designer, launched his eponymous fragrance line in 2006 under Estée Lauder, debuting with the iconic Black Orchid. This bold, unisex scent combined black truffle, bergamot, and orchid notes, setting the tone for Ford's luxurious and provocative approach to perfumery. His fragrances often blend opulence with sensuality, exemplified in bestsellers like Tobacco Vanille, Lost Cherry, and Velvet Orchid. In 2022, Estée Lauder acquired the Tom Ford Beauty brand for $2.8 billion, with Haider Ackermann appointed as creative director in 2024.
