About Tom Ford Batch Codes

Tom Ford (Estée Lauder) uses 3-character batch codes. Last character = year, middle character = month (1-9, A-C). Batch codes are typically printed on the bottom of the bottle or on the outer packaging. The code can usually be found near the recycling symbol or on a sticker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find the batch code on my Tom Ford bottle?

Look on the bottom of the bottle, the base of the box, or on a sticker attached to the packaging. Batch codes are usually 3-6 characters (letters and numbers).

How long does Tom Ford perfume last?

Most fragrances have a shelf life of 3-5 years when stored properly (away from light and heat). Vintage perfumes can last much longer if well-preserved.

Does a newer batch code mean better quality?

Not necessarily. Many collectors prefer vintage formulations which often contain higher concentrations of natural ingredients. Newer batches comply with current IFRA regulations.
