“Don’t Pop Molly, I Rock Tom Ford.”*

*Title above from the fabulous “Tom Ford” by Jay-Z.

But I’m serious, I don’t pop molly and I have recently started rocking Tom Ford, in the form of his Black Orchid perfume ($75+ depending on size):

This scent is sexy and powerful.  I received a sample of it from a Sephora purchase last year, and almost felt like an imposter when I wore it out one night.  It was strong, it was sensual, and it was decidedly not me.  And yet.  I wore it the next night…and then the next night…and then began to apportion the sample out carefully, withholding from wearing it until a big event was coming up.  I got so many compliments on it.  So I snagged my own bottle.  I highly recommend you do the same.  One little spritz goes a long way — it’s a bold flava-flave.

Other items that befit this sophisticated scent: vintage Chanel cuff ($1,295); sueded booties (on super sale for $69); black drawstring bag (Sophie Hulme, $995 — also avail in a smaller size); a kiss-print skirt ($25); fab statement necklace (Adia Kibur, $105); perfume bottle clutch (on sale for $49); vintage Cartier scarf ($225); link bracelet ($125); black and gold blouse (DVF, on sale for $155):

Gorgeous.
