Vert de Fleur by Tom Ford
What Does Vert de Fleur Smell Like
Vert de Fleur by Tom Ford begins with a sprightly, bold scent, much like a fresh herb garden on a crisp morning. The initial fragrance is defined by the dominant essence of sharp, resinous galbanum, layered with the flowery freshness of hyacinth. Subtle zesty hints of bergamot and neroli add a faint citrus splash while an undertone of aromatic basil adds a peppery depth. As the scent evolves, the heart of the perfume develops into a floral tableau. Lush jasmine sambac takes center stage, complemented by the rich, powdery scent of orris butter. The sweetness of orange blossom and the classic warmth of rose lightly shimmer through the bouquet. The perfume’s final act is a grounding chorus of green and woody notes. The scent of green foliage is present, but it doesn't overshadow the earthy oakmoss, the smoky vetiver, nor the musky hint of patchouli. Taken together, Vert de Fleur weaves an olfactory story of verdant gardens, robust herbs, blossoming floral notes, and grounding earthy undertones. Tom Ford's creation is a medley of green, floral, woody, fresh, and spicy accords, offering an aromatic journey within each spritz.
Review of Vert de Fleur
Tom Ford's Vert de Fleur, released in 2016, is a thoughtfully constructed perfume that gracefully straddles the line between traditional and modern, offering a scent that is distinct without being overpowering. It's a unisex perfume, but its charm seems to lure a slightly larger female audience.
Prominent green notes evoke an image of a lush, verdant garden at the peak of spring, while the floral aspect lends a soft, feminine touch to the overall profile. The woody undertones provide a grounded, earthy dimension, while the hints of freshness and spice keep it lively and dynamic.
Despite its springtime imagery, Vert de Fleur doesn't discriminate against seasons; it's versatile enough to be worn throughout the year. However, its natural freshness seems to come alive during the spring and summer months, making it a go-to for those seeking a light, crisp scent.
The perfume's longevity and sillage are respectable but not overwhelming, making it a good choice for those who prefer their scent to be a personal experience rather than a public announcement. It's ideally suited for casual outings or day-to-day wear, although it can hold its own in a more formal or business setting.
While the perfume could do with a bit more potency to increase its staying power, its fair balance of characteristics makes it a solid choice for someone who appreciates a green, floral bouquet that's not too sweet or overpowering. Vert de Fleur is a testimony to Tom Ford's commitment to creating perfumes that are rich, complex, yet accessible. It may not be the showstopper in a crowded room, but it is a reliable companion that exudes a quiet, understated elegance.
