Tom of Finland
Eau de Parfum
by Etat Libre d’Orange



The Scoop
Created for the eponymous artist’s Foundation, Tom of Finland, is an ode to masculine beauty. It is that rare marvel, a clean leather scent. There is no tar here, just a delightful hint of smoke that lingers over a clear watery accord, blending the tang of lemon with the sparkle of aldehydes. The fragrance enhances the perfume of one’s freshly-showered skin, revealing the true sensual power of a wearer’s own aroma. We adore the aromatic, forest-like aspect of the fragrance: birch, pine, cypress and galbanum are simultaneously reminiscent of the great outdoors and, surprisingly in such a modern creation, of some of the most elegant masculine scents of the past. The softness of the base of suede, vanilla, tonka bean and orris is a bliss that lasts forever. A new cult favorite for the lovers of leather perfumes of both genders.

Warning: Tom of Finland contains printed homoerotic imagery inside the box. If you are familiar with Tom of Finland you already know; if not, you may want to find out before giving this as a gift.

Tom of Finland opens with a rubbery-ness that reminds me of the rubber of Bulgari Black. Indeed, the Tom box has the same matte rubber coating on its outer box. Except in this case, it calls to mind the synthetic scent of condoms or sex toys. That is the winking cheekiness of the Tom of Finland brand. Luckily that disappears and dries down into a pure, sudsy, well groomed scent. Similar to baby oil. Equally appropriate whether you're naked or fully clothed.

Sexy! This scent is passionate, very much there, very much alive and sizzling with energy. The smell is a bit like the soapy cool of Joop!, mixed with the warm sweetness of Egoiste and even a little bit of the tangy, glue-like, leatherish element in Shalimar. Wonderful! Manly, sophisticated, modern, and have I already mentioned sexy?

I love this fragrance! I have gotten nothing but compliments ever since the day I bought it. It's a woodsy blend of leather and spice and everything nice. One of my straight friends actually grabbed my shirt and told me I smelt better than usual. If I have gotten compliments from older and younger females, and have had man to man affection while wearing this fantastic brand, just think of what it could do for you.

Tom of Finland is simply gorgeous. It's one of those scents that make me unable to stop sniffing my arm. The vetiver and galbanum are rendered in a modern way, and in combination with the styrax, musk and tonka create a dizzying height of deliciousness I've rarely experienced in any perfume, let alone a masculine. Highly recommended for women and men.

tom of finland has become my go-to. in a word, it's delicious. lingering on a white t-shirt, this just smells really, really good. clean, handsome, rugged. there is a rubbery note that adds a slightly synthetic quality to the opening of the composition, but it doesn't subtract from the quality or elegance of the overall fragrance in the slightest. it's beautifully simple, utterly masculine, and a wondrous thing to experience in its evolution on the skin (and clothes).

Now it's THIS scent which smells of sex, and backrooms and leather and all things raunchy--but in the most refined way. I love it.

SPECTACULAR! Amazing, amazing scent! I do admit that when I first tried it, I wasn't completely sold on it, but I kept sniffing and sniffing, and suddenly I couldn't get enough. I have never smelled any parfum even remotely like it --it has such complexity, that all the different fragrances all seem distinct and appear at different moments. Truly an olfactory experience worth repeating over and over!

I loved this bold and bracing scent right out of the bottle! The lemon and metallic scents jump out and say here I am! The dry down is warm and sexy but alas, it is gone oh so quickly! I could smell nothing, not even a ghost of this exotic blend after 2 hours. Oh Tom, come back to me!!!

Tom of Finland was not love at first sight for me, because simply it wasn't what I expected it to be. And for that I'm glad! It bends expectations, stumps them, and reformulates them. It's sparkling clean take on eroticism is truly a breath of fresh air! And yet, it is not timid either about its earthy underside: that saltiness of the skin, that lick of metal, that bitterness which remains when all is said and done... Inspired!
