One thing about perfume: It should make you feel empowered. And if it doesn’t, you might not be wearing the right scent! For Joanna “JoJo” Levesque — you know, the singer behind early 2000s hits like “Too Little, Too Late” and “Leave (Get Out)” — Tom Ford Ébéne Fumé Eau de Parfum has been the recent go-to because it makes her feel “sexy, powerful, and special.”
JoJo Keeps Her ‘Emotional Skin’ Bouncy and Healthy With Just 3 Products
One of Tom Ford’s lesser-known scents, Ébéne Fumé Eau de Parfum encapsulates a smokey grandeur reminiscent of both wellness retreats and opulent private clubs. The rich, smokey perfume combines the rich, woody essence of palo santo with hints of black pepper, ebony wood, smooth leather and amber. The result is mysterious, enthralling and a little masculine — which is why JoJo loves it so much.

“I switch up my fragrance every couple of years, but I’ve been in a [serious] Ébéne Fumé phase,” JoJo told Us exclusively. “I believe it means Ebony Smoke. I like to pair it with something that smells sweet because it’s quite deep, smokey, and strong.” Typically, she’ll balance it out with a scented moisturizer to create her own unique smell.
Fragrance layering is a major trend right now. People are interested in combining two or more perfumes to concoct an aroma that is completely unique. Layering can feel a bit intimidating, but when it comes to Ébéne Fumé, there’s one winning combo in particular that we recommend trying. You can’t go wrong with vanilla. The subtly sweet note meshes beautifully with woody and smokey facets. Spritzing on something like Phlur Vanilla Skin Hair & Body Fragrance Mist — which also features notes of pepper — will soften the result for an added boost of femininity.

Of course, you could always wear Ébéne Fumé on its own, too, to make a serious statement. But only do so if you want to be the center of attention. “Ébéne Fumé is not for the faint of heart,” one Nordstrom shopper writes. “This fragrance is bold, sophisticated and gives off an air of wealth that will definitely get you noticed. It emits a smoky, leather and wood scent along with a faint hint of rose. I love that it offers tremendous longevity and the bottle is as beautiful as the fragrance.”
Truth be told, there are few fragrances that will make you feel as powerful as Tom Ford Ébéne Fumé. Now we understand how Jojo constantly emits that effortless confidence! If you want to do the same, pick up a bottle today.
