Tom Ford’s Bog

Almost every designer collector has his favorite Tom Ford, and Oud Minerale is mine.

OM is unlike any of the other hundreds of marine fragrances. It does not smell like a hot summer beach. It does not smell like a crisp ocean wind. It does not smell like neroli-drenched sunscreen. It does not smell like a mid-July yacht party off the Amalfi coast.

Rather, it smells like a humid salty seaweedy oudy bog on an empty rain-drenched and fog-enveloped Maine ocean shore.

I live in the arid high desert, so this humid, watery fragrance is particularly invigorating in the scorching summer.

This is Tom Ford at its creative, daring, non-crowdpleasing finest.
