2022 has indeed been a huge year for Tom Ford as a brand, with the news of the brand getting acquired by Estée Lauder Cos. for some $2.8 billion (although Estée Lauder already holds the license to Tom Ford Beauty, made up of a fragrance and makeup line). As if their reign in the world of fashion and beauty hasn't been top-notch, enter their masterstroke: partnering with Korean superstar, Gong Yoo. Playing the role of Tom Ford Beauty Attaché for Asia-Pacific, he will be fronting upcoming campaigns featuring fragrance and makeup launches.

The core of ÉBÈNE FUMÉ is spotlighted by the smoky leathery notes and dry wood undertones of cade essence and the warm, elegant resin of cistus absolute Spain Orpur Papyrus essence and magnificent florals notes mingle with gorgeous roses – while notes of exquisite ebony wood are captured in sublime notes of leather and resins. Guaiac wood and balsamic naturals release a warm, woody, smoky seduction.
