<a href="https://www.tomford.com/oud-wood/T1-OUD-WOOD.html" target="_blank">Oud Wood</a>&nbsp;needs no introduction; this distinctive&nbsp;scent plays a leading role in the Tom Ford fragrance family, thanks to the&nbsp;rich combination of rose wood, cardamom, oud, sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean and amber. Its&nbsp;earthy and intoxicating&nbsp;scent is a deeply complex one that perfectly echoes the many layers&nbsp;of George Falconer,&nbsp;a&nbsp;college professor mourning&nbsp;the loss of his partner.&nbsp;Despite his hidden anguish, George presents a&nbsp;suave, urbane facade to the world.&nbsp;

His fragrance of choice? No doubt it&#39;d be Oud Wood.

<a href="https://www.tomford.com/white-suede/T1-WHITE-SUEDE.html" target="_blank">White Suede</a>&nbsp;is an elegant musk fragrance comprising a medley of leather and&nbsp;warm amber elevated with&nbsp;velvety rose, saffron, and thyme. The result is&nbsp;a&nbsp;powerfully addictive scent that embodies soft seduction &ndash; a perfect match for Charley, portrayed by Academy Award-winning actress Julianne Moore in&nbsp;A Single Man.&nbsp;

Despite facing loneliness, addiction, and rejection, Charley&#39;s chic style is undeniable and ultimately irresistible &ndash; which is why Tom Ford&#39;s White Suede&nbsp;is an obvious match for her

<a href="http://www.tomford.com/jasmin-rouge/T0-JASMIN-ROUGE.html?dwvar_T0-JASMIN-ROUGE_color=OC#q=jasmine%2Brouge&amp;start=1" target="_blank">Jasmine Rouge</a>&nbsp;is an audacious scent with hidden depths: precious sambac melds seamlessly with&nbsp;jasmine&nbsp;clary sage, ylang yang, amber, and black and white peppercorns for a rich, spicy finish.

And let&#39;s not forget about the deep red packaging which evokes a lush, hedonistic glamour befitting of Susan Marrow&nbsp;in&nbsp;Nocturnal Animals.&nbsp;Like Jasmine Rouge, Susan possesses&nbsp;an impeccable sense of style, which&nbsp;makes her Tom Ford&#39;s most iconic leading lady.

On its surface,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tomford.com/neroli-portofino/T0-NEROLI-PORTOFINO.html?dwvar_T0-NEROLI-PORTOFINO_color=OC" target="_blank">Neroli Portofino</a>&nbsp;is a fresh, youthful scent that features a crisp&nbsp;blend of&nbsp;Italian bergamot, Mandarin orange,&nbsp;Sicilian lemon oils,&nbsp;Tunisian neroli, jasmine, and African orange flower.&nbsp;But this fragrance belies a dark core, thanks to its deep amber undertones that give it a strong&nbsp;yet&nbsp;warm&nbsp;finish.

Likewise,&nbsp;Edward Sheffield&nbsp;starts off as&nbsp;an optimistic young&nbsp;novelist who eventually succumbs to his dark&nbsp;side after being betrayed by his wife. The balance between light and dark, fresh yet substantive makes Neroli Portofino a perfect fit for&nbsp;this leading&nbsp;character.
