Black Violet

by Clément Gavarry , Pascal Gaurin

Tom Ford Black Violet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Clément Gavarry and Pascal Gaurin. Black Violet opens with Fruity, Citrus, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Violet, and dries down to a base of Woody and Oakmoss. Tom Ford's Black Violet carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Tom Ford's Black Violet is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it woodland odyssey. Discontinued, of course, because anything this interesting can't possibly stick around. If you track down an authentic bottle, you're in for a ride.

Given its strong character and occasional beast-mode performance, this isn't one for the office. It truly shines on a date or for formal events, where its mysterious and sensual qualities can be appreciated without being overpowering. Casual wear is possible, but it feels a bit much for everyday errands.

About

Opens with a zesty, almost sharp citrus and fruity burst. Soon, a deep, earthy violet emerges, not a sweet, powdery floral but something darker and more mysterious. This blends seamlessly with a rich, mossy, woody base, creating an intriguing chypre profile. It's a journey from vibrant fruit to a forest floor, with the violet lingering throughout, sophisticated yet untamed.
