A less expensive way to enjoy my favorite fragrance

As we ramp up for the start of (virtual) school next week and the summer-of-nothing comes to a close—I realized that I haven’t worn my favorite seasonal scent—Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino—once. I still wear perfume every day to make sure my sense of smell is intact, but I just can’t bring myself to wear the “good stuff” to hang out at home.

But, of course, I found a hack… Tom Ford offers many of his most popular fragrances in “All Over Body Spray” form—and most cost $75 instead of $250+ for a small bottle of eau de toilette. The body spray obviously doesn’t pack as powerful a punch, but it’s definitely an olfactory “snack” that makes me and my nose happy. It also comes in handy when I need a refresh after walking the dog or cooking something that leaves me smelling like onions or spices—and it serves up a lovely cooling sensation.

In case you’re curious, here’s the full list of available body sprays and their prices (because I love you).

• Oud Wood ($75)

• Fucking Fabulous ($95)

• Tobacco Vanille ($75)

• Tuscan Leather ($75)

• Soleil Blanc ($75) *I highly recommend this one

• Ombre Leather ($49)

• Noir de Noir ($75) *This is one of my Tom Ford faves for winter

• White Suede ($70)

• Fleur de Portofino ($75)

• Sole di Positano ($75)

P.S. I was going to say that these make a great Father’s Day gift for the guy in your life who isn’t into heavy cologne, but I momentarily forgot what month it was (again). Oops!
