Tom Ford Vert d'Encens is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Olivier Gillotin and Michael Nordstrand. Vert d'Encens opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Fir, Woody, Pine, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Resin and Frankincense. Tom Ford's Vert d'Encens carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly unique green-amber scent that divides opinion but clearly captivates. It's either an addictive, mysterious forest floor dream or a cloying, messy confusion. Try before you buy, if you can even find it given its cult-favourite discontinued status.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with its distinct, somewhat 'gothic' woody-amber character, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its complex blend is highly appropriate for evening dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for sophisticated casual wear.

About

Imagine wandering through a dense, resinous pine forest where the air is thick with the scent of crushed fir needles and sticky tree sap. This fragrance opens with an intense, bracing green blast, quickly softened by a sweet, powdery heliotrope that brings a surprising creamy floral, almost gourmand, edge. Incense subtly weaves through, adding a smokiness that deepens the woody, balsamic accords, leading to a plush, enduring base.
