Tom Ford receives polarized opinions from the r/fragrance community, with users acknowledging several excellent fragrances (particularly leather-forward and classic compositions) but criticizing overall inconsistency, chemical undertones in many offerings, and declining quality since 2014. The house is viewed as overpriced compared to niche alternatives, though some remain loyal to their best releases. Personal taste significantly influences perception, with no universal consensus on the brand's merit.
