Always a class act, designer Tom Ford once likened his new cologne’s scent to that of a man’s crotch.
Now, we’re not sure where Ford’s fashionable nose goes, but his cologne’s apparently got another prominent, perhaps illicit aroma:
…Does [Ford’s] scent Tuscan Leather actually smell like cocaine? Well, according to cognoscenti of that drug, yes, a bit. “That’s what everyone says,” admits a counterboy at the Ford store on Madison, who adds that one customer even bought a bottle because he thought it smelled like coke.
Homeboy better watch out for drug dogs. And, also, ravenous coke heads looking for a fix.
Journo Geofrrey Gray points out, however, that Ford’s scent’s way more affordable than the white stuff: $149 for 49 grams. At current market value, 49 grams of blow would run you about $2,450.
Or so we imagine…

i can just imagine wearing this… then you know who among your peers has done coke in the past. if they make a face or their eyes twitch. you can laugh and yell out, “busted!”
somehow, in all this… i think the end result is that coke dealers have just found a new way of cutting their coke (again).
