When it comes to perfume, the goal is to feel empowered. If you’re not feeling that way, you might need a different fragrance! For Joanna “JoJo” Levesque — the artist behind iconic early 2000s songs like “Too Little, Too Late” and “Leave (Get Out)” — Tom Ford Ébéne Fumé Eau de Parfum has become her go-to choice because it makes her feel “sexy, powerful, and special.”
One of Tom Ford’s lesser-known fragrances, Ébéne Fumé Eau de Parfum evokes a smoky elegance that harkens back to serene wellness retreats and luxurious private venues. This rich, smoky scent blends the tranquil, woody aroma of palo santo with elements of black pepper, ebony wood, luxurious leather, and amber. The resulting fragrance is mysterious, captivating, and slightly masculine — which is why JoJo adores it.

“I change my fragrance every couple of years, but I’m currently in a [serious] Ébéne Fumé phase,” JoJo shared with Us exclusively. “I believe it translates to Ebony Smoke. I love pairing it with something sweet to balance its deep, smoky, and intense nature.” Typically, she balances it with a scented moisturizer to create her own distinct aroma.
Fragrance layering is trending right now as people explore combining multiple scents to create a wholly unique fragrance profile. Though it may seem daunting, there’s one combination we suggest trying with Ébéne Fumé: vanilla. This gently sweet note complements the woody and smoky characteristics beautifully. For an added touch of femininity, try using something like Phlur Vanilla Skin Hair & Body Fragrance Mist, which also incorporates notes of pepper.
Of course, you can always wear Ébéne Fumé alone to make a bold statement. Just be prepared to be the center of attention. “Ébéne Fumé is not for the faint-hearted,” says one Nordstrom shopper. “This fragrance is bold, sophisticated, and radiates wealth that will certainly catch eyes. It has a smoky, leather, and wood fragrance with a subtle hint of rose. I appreciate its remarkable longevity, and the bottle is as gorgeous as the scent.”
Truth be told, few fragrances can make you feel as powerful as Tom Ford Ébéne Fumé. Now we see how JoJo projects that effortless confidence! If you want to cultivate the same aura, grab a bottle today.
