Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDT is a fresh, clean take on vetiver that's tragically discontinued. Fans laud its easy-wearing elegance for warm weather, making it a firm office favourite, but some find it too subtle or even a bit bland. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, with a clear split between those who find it a masterpiece and those who find it lacks punch.
50 Shades Of Grey mirrors Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver formula - grapefruit and sage over an earthy vetiver heart - but the vetiver reads thinner and less textured than the original's signature grassy-smoky richness, and the amberwood base wears close to the skin rather than projecting.
