Tom Ford's fragrances are well known and for good reason. The scents are recognisable and alluring, with it not being unusual for wearers to get a big boost of confidence when wearing them.

It's no surprise that they're usually quite expensive also. John Lewis has reduced the price of Tom Ford's signature scents in the early Black Friday sale with 20% off.

There's a number of perfumes that have dropped in price but Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille EDP 50ml is the one that stands out most from the range. The sought after scent has been called a winter must-have.

It has base notes of dried fruits and woody notes but it's the middle notes that stand out the most. Tobacco blossom and vanilla obviously make an appearance but cacao and tonka bean hold them down to give a smooth sweetness. It's topped with tobacco leaf and spicy notes which are the first thing you smell when encountering the classic.

It was conceived by Olivier Gillotin in 2007 and has since been dubbed an iconic scent that even perfume novices tend to be able to notice. Shoppers love it, on John Lewis it's racked up 573 reviews with an average rating of 4.4.

One shopper said: "This fragrance makes me feel like I'm at the most secluded resort in Tahiti… It is super sexy with notes of Tahitian Vanilla, warm musk, mulled fruit and leather undertones. It has dual impressions like you've just had the best interview of your life and rocked it and now you're jetting off to your all inclusive vacation that you're due for… What a find! Trust me when wearing this scent, you're the Boss-body, mind and S.O.U.L. A definite winner!!!"

A second wrote: "One of my favourite scents by Tom Ford. One of those scents you wear and everyone knows what it is. The tobacco gives it a nice musky tone while the vanilla keeps it light and fresh."

A third said: "This seductive and alluring fragrance is a must for me during the fall and winter months. It's special. There is something so comforting and vibey that happens when I wear this. The tobacco and vanilla is so perfectly blended into this fragrance. It's intoxicating. Totally unisex. You will feel sexy and receiving compliments is a guarantee."

A fourth added: "Very simple and straight forward–it's warm tobacco and vanilla, a little bit of spice underneath. A very grown and sexy fragrance! I don't think it carries over well to warmer months so I try to wear this as much as possible during winter and I always get a lot of compliments. I find it fades very quickly on the skin but lasts a long time on clothes. It's one of my favourites!"

Shoppers do say it's better suited to the colder months which is worth noting if you're planning to wear it year round. It is quite an expensive fragrance although people are saying it's worth every penny.

There are other scents that bring together notes of tobacco and vanilla, such as Tobacco Mist by Amour Scents which was 'inspired' by the Tom Ford classic, however reviewers have been saying it doesn't have the same longevity. You can get Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille EDP 50ml for £176 now on John Lewis, 20% off the usual price.
