Tom Ford Vert de Fleur is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Olivier Gillotin. Vert de Fleur opens with Hyacinth, Bergamot, Neroli, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Green Notes, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Tom Ford's Vert de Fleur carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive throwback - you'll either adore its sophisticated, unapologetically green floral depth or find it an old-school challenge. Best for those who crave a richly complex, perhaps even 'bitchy', green scent that stands apart.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Like a deep dive into an overgrown forest, Vert de Fleur opens with a fiercely bitter cloud of galbanum, evoking freshly snapped stems and dense, dewy foliage. This intense green is swiftly joined by a waxy, intoxicating bouquet of florals - think hyacinth and jasmine - adding a touch of smooth, almost creamy sweetness without losing its edgy botanical heart. As it settles, earthy vetiver grounds the composition, creating a dark, woody finish that lingers beautifully.
