Ombre de Hyacinth

Name: Ombre de Hyacinth Eau de Parfum
Brand: Tom Ford

Tom Ford Ombre de Hyacinth is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Calice Becker. Ombre de Hyacinth opens with Magnolia, Galbanum, Violet Leaf, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Hyacinth, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk and Benzoin. Tom Ford's Ombre de Hyacinth carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A truly polarising Tom Ford offering. Ombre de Hyacinth isn't for the faint-hearted, nor for those expecting a pure hyacinth floral. This one's an acquired taste, with some finding it a brilliant green floral and others dismissing it as cheap aftershave.

Its clean, fresh, and green profile, often described as soapy or like a 'wet garden', makes it quite suitable for office wear where some reviewers enjoyed it. However, its significant sillage and a divisive 'aftershave' perception mean it's less ideal for dates or situations where subtlety is paramount, despite being well-wearing.

About

Opens with an intensely green hit of galbanum and violet leaf, like crushed stems after a spring rain, brightened by magnolia. The heart introduces a surprising, almost abstract hyacinth, woven with a whisper of pink pepper and jasmine. It settles into a clean, musky, and lightly resinous base, maintaining its green edge throughout. Not your typical floral, it's earthy, cool, and somewhat austere.
