The Tom Ford style is provocative – His apparel and each season’s collection is always more stimulating than the last, often conveyed through NSFW ads. But controversy is Tom’s indelible mark even from his YSL and Gucci heydays. Among sensational ‘sins’ he’s committed are phallic-shaped necklace and featuring nude women in compromising positions.

Which brings us to his famous fragrances, and how he arrived at the newly released (and self-explanatory) F***ing Fabulous EDP. His foray into beauty was sparked by the iconic Black Orchid perfume in 2006. This followed with the prestigious Private Blend collection of 12 unisex scents. Tom paid homage to essences of the Italian Riviera in all its sparkling water, lush foliage and fresh water glory. Consider him the man who made fashion and fragrance 2 peas in a pod.

Like his perfume line and apparel, Tom Ford Beauty's offerings are an extension of his audacious personality. In 2010, his obsession with lips as a beauty accessory spurred the creation of the Private Blend Lip Color collection; a most celebrated wardrobe of essential lip shades loved by beauty junkies and celebrities. You’ll be head over heels for his makeup from the sight of these vanity-bag approved, luxe packaging.
