Okay, so I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Tom Ford fragrance for a while, and I finally decided to go for it. I’m a sucker for a good scent, you know? After some online digging and sniffing around in stores (when I could), I zeroed in on something called “2001”. I couldn’t find a ton of info, which made it even more intriguing, honestly.
First, I tried hitting up the usual spots – the department stores. No luck. They had plenty of Tom Ford, but not this “2001”. I even asked the sales associates, and they mostly looked at me like I had two heads. One guy kind of remembered something, but he wasn’t sure.
My Online Hunt
So, the internet became my best friend. I started googling like crazy. “Tom Ford 2001”, “Tom Ford fragrance 2001”, “Tom Ford discontinued 2001″…you name it, I searched it. Found some forum posts, a few mentions here and there, but nothing concrete. It felt like I was chasing a ghost!
Then I started checking out the resale sites. And boom! There it was. A few listings popped up, some used, some partially used, and the prices were, well, let’s just say they were “collectible” prices. I was a bit scared buying a used one because, who knows, right?
Taking the Plunge
I finally found one that looked promising. It was listed as “partially used,” and the seller had good reviews. I messaged them, asked a bunch of questions (probably annoyed them, haha), and finally decided to just go for it. I figured, worst-case scenario, I’d have a cool-looking bottle for my shelf. Best case? I have that good smell!
The Arrival
The package arrived a few days later. I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was! The bottle looked legit, the juice inside was the right color (from what I could tell from the pictures I’d seen), and the moment of truth… the smell.
I sprayed it on my wrist, and… wow. Okay, I get it. It’s definitely a unique scent. It’s hard to describe, but I’d say it’s kind of woody, a little spicy, and definitely has that “classic” Tom Ford vibe. I don’t know if it’s worth the crazy price tag, but I’m definitely happy I have it.
My Final Thoughts (For Now)
So, that’s my “Tom Ford 2001” adventure. It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but I’m glad I stuck with it. I feel like I’ve got a little piece of fragrance history now. I’ll probably keep digging for more info, just out of curiosity. If any of you guys know anything about this scent, hit me up!
